Livingston Place at Southern Avenue sits in Washington, DC, as a five-story community that opened in June 2021, offering 152 units of affordable assisted living for seniors aged 60 and over who have disabilities or low to moderate income. The community serves elders needing assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, or independent living, and takes the Elderly and Persons with Disabilities (EPD) Waiver, Housing Choice Vouchers, SSI, SSDI, retirement, or annuity benefits, with monthly rents made more affordable through the Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. The facility supports seniors who need help with at least 2 or 3 activities of daily living, such as dressing, bathing, grooming, and toileting, while nurses, medication support, wound care, podiatry, and occupational therapy are all available on site.
Livingston Place has both private and semi-private rooms, studios, single rooms, and two-bedroom apartments, each coming with safety and handicap features, kitchens or kitchenettes, washers and dryers, cable TV, and housekeeping and maintenance. Residents get three meals a day in the dining room, have access to restaurant-style dining, and can enjoy health and wellness classes, as well as fitness workshops. The property has a game room, activities room, dining areas, a fitness center, guest parking, WiFi, and indoor and outdoor lounges, plus beautifully landscaped grounds for walking or relaxing. The salon and barber shop, along with an on-site spa, give chances for self-care and relaxation.
Social and recreational activities are a big part of life here, with arts and crafts, art classes, music programs, small gatherings like coffee chats and creative writing, and group outings. The Spark Lifestyle Program, inspired by Montessori methods, encourages lifelong learning through hands-on activities and social connections. Homemaking and laundry services are included, and there's 24-hour supervision with staff available for scheduled and unscheduled needs. Transportation is provided for residents, whether for errands or medical appointments. High-quality housing offers seniors comfort, safety, and the feeling of being at home, with a team focused on dignity, compassion, and respect. The community gives options and support to meet the changing needs of seniors, all in a place designed for both care and connection.
