Asbury Dwellings sits in one of Washington, D.C.'s most walkable neighborhoods, close to downtown and near the Shaw-Howard Metro Station, so getting around is simple, and with dining and entertainment close by, there's plenty for folks to do. The building itself has a bit of history, having once been a junior high school built in 1902, but it's since been updated with renovated apartments, bright hallways, and community features seniors aged 62 and better can use every day. There are 147 units here, ranging from studios to two-bedroom apartments, with sizes from about 350 to 660 square feet, so folks have choices depending on what kind of space feels right for them. The place participates in the HUD Section 8 program, so rent for qualified residents depends on their income, though standard rental rates start at $1851. Apartments are built with open floor plans for comfort and ease of movement, and the building's got ramps and other details for accessibility too.
Asbury Dwellings offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and home care, so seniors can find whatever arrangement suits what they need as they age, with trained aides on hand for those who want help, especially for memory care, where the staff knows how to support folks who have Alzheimer's or dementia through treatments and design that help prevent confusion or wandering. There are also residential care homes on-site, for people who need more hands-on care, along with active senior apartments for those still wanting to get out and about. The place is known for its friendly staff, who go out of their way to keep a joyful and kind atmosphere, and there's always something to do, since they run social, educational, and entertaining activities that help residents make friends and keep busy in a structured program. Meals here are prepared by chefs and meal planners who make sure they're healthy and tasty, and the community room and beauty salon add to the daily comfort. Asbury Dwellings encourages a relaxing, fun-filled lifestyle while providing health care when it's needed, and its long history as an apartment community means there's plenty of experience behind how things are run. Tours are available for folks who want to look around, meet staff and other residents, and just get a feel for the place.
