Seabury Heights

Seabury Heights is a low income senior apartment community in Worcester, MA 01604, and it serves people aged 62 and older as well as individuals with disabilities, and it has 302 apartments, including one-bedroom apartments at 500 square feet and two-bedroom apartments at 800 square feet, so you get options depending on your needs, and each apartment comes with a full kitchen, carpeting, window treatments, air conditioning, heating, and everything is wired for cable TV, which means you don't have to worry about setting that up, plus there are safety rails in bathrooms and an emergency pull cord system for extra peace of mind, and all the apartments have keyless entry and controlled access to the buildings, and you'll find coin-operated laundry and trash chutes on every floor, and there's on-site management staff that's around to help if you need anything or if there's a problem at any hour because they've got 24-hour emergency maintenance service too. The community is smoke-free on all the grounds, and the buildings are surrounded by landscaped grounds if you feel like getting some fresh air or walking outside, and it's a subsidized LIHTC community with options like Section 8 and Tax Credit programs, so rent is usually about 30% of monthly income or there's a set rent amount below area rates, but you do have to meet income and age requirements to qualify, and you'll need to provide paperwork like a driver's license or government ID, Social Security Card, proof of income, bank and credit references, and personal references, and there's a non-refundable application fee for each community you apply to, it's usually $25 to $50, and you have to pay by money order. Seabury Heights is run by a non-profit and was named a Community of Quality by the New England Affordable Housing Management Association, and you'll find recreational activities, educational workshops, and social events that a Resident Services Coordinator puts together, and there's a service coordinator on-site if you need help with anything related to services or well-being, and they offer support and outreach programs, craft projects that bring together residents and school children, blood pressure clinics, and a Neighborhood Crime Watch, so there's a lot aimed at supporting residents and engaging the community, and there are various care options, possibly including assisted living and memory care, with staff available for support depending on what's needed, though Seabury Heights does focus on apartment living for seniors with limited income.
