Life Enrichment
You’ve waited a longtime for your retirement and now is the time to reward yourself with life-enriching opportunities to enhance your retirement lifestyle.

At Addolorata Villa, we partner with our residents to create a program that represents their desires, goals and dreams. It’s not so much Addolorata Villa’s life-enrichment program, but rather, it’s the residents of Addolorata Villa’s life-enrichment program.

As part of your independent lifestyle at Addolorata Villa you can choose from a variety of clubs, activities and events. All of our programs are designed to enrich the quality of your life.

Our residents enjoy physical activities such as fitness fun, parachute-cise and SeniorFITness group exercises. We offer intellectual and educational opportunities, including computer training, brainteasers, guest speakers, art appreciation and book clubs. The community provides many recreational activities too. From surfing the Internet, walking on the outdoor pathways, watching classic films to the “They’re Off” racetrack game, our residents find plenty of different ways to entertain themselves. With an onsite chapel and Mass offered, residents can enhance their spirituality daily and engage in Bible study groups and other reflective opportunities sponsored by our pastoral care department. Our residents also enjoy taking breaks and kicking back with root beer float socials, resident barbecues, the golden era big band jam and other fun get-togethers.

Beyond the activities organized by life-enrichment, residents have access to wonderful sites outside of the community thanks to being a short car or bus ride away from excellent shopping and Wheeling’s renowned restaurant row, and less than 30 minutes away from much of what Chicago has to offer!
Understanding that our residents have varying desires, as well as different skill and need levels, is the key reason why we schedule separate activities for independent living and assisted living, while at the same kindly welcoming all residents to participate in whatever activities they wish.
