🎉 Celebrating 50 Years of Capitol Lakes! 🎉 For five decades, Capitol Lakes has continued to grow, evolve, and reimagine what community can look like. Here’s a look at the journey that brought us here—and where we’re headed next: 🕰️ 1975 — Capitol Lakes opens with a visionary, three-step plan for Independent Living, supportive services, and full-service care. 🏥 1979 — The Health Center opens next door—and get this, it’s connected by a tunnel! The addition brings food services in-house and expands care options. 🏡 1996 — The Terraces opens with 44 Assisted Living residences and seamlessly connects with the rest of the campus. 🌿 2004 — Maingate opens with 52 Independent Living apartments, creating easier access and stronger campus connections. 🔨 2026 — A fully renovated Health Center third floor becomes the new home of Assisted Living, featuring ADA-compliant rooms, refreshed dining, and inviting new amenities. 🏗️ 2027 — Looking ahead to Bassett Place, which will add more than 40 new Independent Living apartments to the Capitol Lakes community. #CapitolLakes #Celebrating50Years #SeniorLiving

✨ We threw it back to 1975! ✨ This week’s Open House was groovin’ with '70s music, retro outfits, and tours of our beautiful homes. Guests had the chance to connect with residents and celebrate our 50th anniversary in true disco-era style. 🕺🌼 An outta sight way to mark 50 years—just like it all began in 1975!
Meet our residents, Morris and Carolyn. Morris loves to get outside and walk whenever he can, and living in downtown Madison makes it easy. "It is urban but also has parks and green spaces to explore, and I love that." When he is not out exploring, you will often find him at the Henry Street Café with the Breakfast Club. "It is so nice to just catch up and laugh, and enjoy the morning together. It is a great way to start the day."
