Chapel Corner

Chapel Corner is a 55+ senior housing community with both independent living and assisted living options, and it's part of a group of properties managed by Barcelon Associates Management Corporation and the Housing Consortium of the East Bay, which has a reputation for maintaining comfortable and quiet living environments, though some people have concerns about the manager's attitude, with maintenance staff that tend to respond quickly to work orders and common areas that are kept in good shape. Residents can get daily help with activities like medication management, meals, and personal care, or choose independent living with fewer supports and a hassle-free social environment for healthy older adults. There are also memory care services and specialized housing to help people who are prone to confusion or wandering, as well as home care by trained aides for companionship and non-medical needs, and Chapel Corner accepts residents in need of respite care too if a primary caregiver needs a break. The property was completed in August 2006, and it's linked to HUD 811 programs and supports adults with developmental disabilities, offering housing for vulnerable people and those at risk of homelessness, with accessibility features for mobility and security measures for safety. Senior apartments include one-bedroom units with features like new cabinets, emergency alarm switches, big walk-in closets, ceiling fans, private patios or balconies, carpet, a spacious living room and bathroom, and appliances like a stove, fridge, dishwasher, and microwave. Residents get assigned parking, on-site laundry, and a community room with free activities, and water and garbage are paid. Pets are allowed with a $400 pet deposit, though there's a minimum monthly income requirement and a $30 fee for a credit and background check. Chapel Corner doesn't allow cosigners or applicants with prior evictions, but they do welcome Section 8 and help with rental or deposit assistance. Activity programs aim to keep people social, active, and mentally sharp, which have won awards for being among the best and most engaging, and the staff is known for being friendly, helpful, and kind, and have been recognized with Most Friendly awards, though again, some people don't find the management style suitable. Residents enjoy a no-smoking policy, elevator access, ample parking, and amenities that support daily comfort, and the property focuses on providing essential housing for seniors, especially those with special needs or who have trouble affording other places. The nearby Lincoln Oaks Apartments offer similar one- and two-bedroom options, with oversized patios and spacious layouts, and the area has lush landscaping and a garden-style community feel.
