About Our Appleton Retirement Community
When you move into our community, you’ll experience a carefree lifestyle that’s both comfortable and rewarding. Living at our Primrose Retirement Community in Appleton is like having an extended family, where each day you’ll be greeted by people who care about your wellness and who want to make your day as bright as possible.
We invite you to explore all the benefits we have to offer.
Inside Your Apartment
You’ll be pleased with the spacious floor plan you’ve chosen, and you’ll delight in the warmth, privacy and peaceful surroundings of your new apartment or townhome villa. Featuring sound-proof walls and concrete floors, our retirement living apartments ensure you find peace and serenity.
Our Appleton community offers laundry service and housekeeping to free up your schedule from daily chores and errands. And our kitchen staff will also prepare three-nutritious, home-cooked meals every day of the week, so you can enjoy more time doing the activities you love.
Although our selection of gorgeous townhome villas are separate from the main community, all villa residents can still enjoy and partake in our community amenities, meals and activities.
Around Your Community
Just north of Lake Winnebago and less than a 30-mile drive from the city of Green Bay, our Appleton retirement living community is surrounded by delicious restaurants, historic landmarks, museums, parks and more to explore.
To help you experience everything your new community has to offer, our Life Enrichment Coordinator plans activities both inside our retirement community and out in the city of Appleton for you to experience with friends and family. See our wellness calendar.
Nursing Care, 24/7
You’ll have direct access to our dedicated nursing staff who are on-site 24/7. Being close to immediate care will give you peace of mind and more confidence to live your life to its fullest potential.
