Retirement living is all about life’s
simple pleasures…
It’s your life here. Live it your way. Each and every day at Capital Manor, you’ll find a wealth of opportunities to explore your interests, get involved and, most importantly, fill your days any way you wish.
Attend a lecture series, frequent the library, check out a movie, see an art show, join a book club, plant a garden, practice your sewing, sharpen your computer skills. Take up painting, woodworking, ceramics or the fine art of pickleball. Venturing beyond the Capital Manor campus, audit a class at Willamette and Western Oregon universities or Chemeketa Community College. Reserve a seat for a dance, drama or musical performance at the Historic Elsinore Theatre. Put a day trip or overnight excursion on your calendar if you’re not heading off on a longer adventure.
