Harborlight House Properties

Harborlight House Properties sits at 1 Monument Square in Beverly, MA, very close to the beach and the downtown area, which is handy for those who want a walk or need to run errands, and it's a place built for seniors who are at least 62 years old, though some services and info mention a minimum age of 55 for some parts, and while there's not much online info because of a server error, you can see from what's available that it's a congregate supportive housing facility with affordable units, especially for people on a limited income, and people have mentioned caring and friendly staff members there. The building's New England décor gives it a comfortable, homelike feel, and there are 30 studio apartments and 35 private units, all with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, and the rent covers heat, water, air conditioning, and electricity, which makes it easier to budget. The place is fully staffed 24 hours a day and offers support for daily living, including personal care and medication management, and there's help with housekeeping and laundry too. The staff help with meals and there's a dining room, and you get meals included along with access to activities like arts, games, and programs both inside and outside the property, and for those needing it, there's diabetic care, Alzheimer's care, incontinence support, and non-ambulatory care, since the building includes ADA-accessible features for wheelchairs and other aids. Harborlight House Properties also sets up devotional services for spiritual needs, with common areas for gathering, and the programs focus on dignity, privacy, and community involvement. There's a Resident Advisory Council so people can stay involved and engaged, and this place connects with community groups, support service providers, and programs through the Massachusetts Community Development Corporation model, so there are extra resources and programs for both seniors and families who may want affordable housing, first-time homebuyer units, open lotteries, or help staying independent as they age. Some former reviewers gave the place a low score, averaged at 1.0 stars, but the staff at Harborlight House keep offering services for active seniors as well as folks with physical or cognitive concerns, and they try to give everyone a safe, stable, and respectful living environment, with both traditional apartments and supportive homes, where utilities and support services like meals, management, and engagement programs are already provided.
