Beyond the Apartment: How Capri Communities is Redefining Retirement

Retirement may evoke images of slowing down, sitting at home and sticking to routine. But the years after retirement can be so much more when older adults are part of a community that promotes active aging.

When older adults live in a vibrant, supportive environment, their retirement shifts from stationary to active and becomes a time to explore new hobbies, strengthen friendships, stay physically and mentally fit, and embrace new experiences.

In fact, in the right environment, retirement is not an ending, but a whole new beginning.

Capri Communities helps aging adults build a life beyond the apartment. While our communities do offer older adults a comfortable and safe place to live, they also provide space to explore new passions, make lasting friendships and turn every day into an adventure.

We Keep You Moving

Physical wellness gives older adults a fun, social way to strengthen their bodies and energize their lives. Chair yoga, for example, is gentle but effective, improving flexibility, mobility and reducing stress while you laugh and connect with friends. Capri Communities tailors its yoga and functional fitness classes to aging adults to help them stay strong, balanced and ready for adventure.

We Feed Your Mind & Soul

A full retirement also keeps minds sharp and spirits lifted. Capri Communities encourages active aging through art demonstrations that spotlight musicians, theater groups and talented fine artists. We also spark creativity through painting, crafting and other interactive classes. And our cooking demonstrations with celebrity chefs tickle the tastebuds and teach older adults how to prepare healthy, delicious meals.

Film buffs can enjoy documentary viewings, followed by lively discussions, snacks and social connection. For those seeking quiet reflection or spiritual growth, prayer groups, meditation sessions and Bible studies are available to support emotional and spiritual wellness.

We Help You Connect & Create

From flower arranging to interactive workshops, older adults have opportunities to combine gentle physical movement with creative expression. Our flower arranging workshops, for example, provide a calming, meditative experience, opportunities to bond with neighbors and ways to share beautiful creations throughout the community.

Social wellness comes alive through our regular outings and events that are as convenient as they are fun. Capri Communities’ outings help active agers enjoy trips to the grocery store, scenic rides, shopping excursions, luncheons and specialty outings to hear the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra or watch the Brewers play.

We Bring Adventure

Capri Communities also brings the world to you through our Premier World Discovery partnership. Through this program, active agers can explore domestic and international destinations like the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, Black Hills and Badlands, historic Savannah and Charleston, or Montreal and Quebec City.

If staying home is more appealing, our Adventure Series keeps curiosity alive through Exercise and Aging presentations, Pfister luncheons, museum and art tours, and trips to the Dancing Horses Theatre. Past adventures have also included the Art of Beekeeping, Lake Geneva Mailboat Tours and Olbrich Botanical Gardens.

Get Ready for Fun!

If you thought retirement meant putting your life on pause, think again. Capri Communities has created a retirement lifestyle designed to give older adults the green light to explore a lifestyle of wellness, friendship, adventure and fun.
