Goldendale Homes Apartments sits on a quiet, private property at 400 Park Street E. in Annandale, MN, and offers apartment living for seniors age 62 and older or adults with disabilities who want things to be simple and comfortable, and there aren't any steps anywhere, which really does make life easier for folks with walkers or wheelchairs. The building has 24 one-bedroom apartments-all on one floor-so people don't have to worry about stairs at all, and there are both independent living units for seniors and apartments available for low or very low-income residents through an affordable housing program, and rent can be based on 30% of adjusted gross income, with income, age, and disability requirements, and the apartments accept both market rate and Section 8, making it possible for a wide range of folks to call this community home. CommonBond Communities, a nonprofit that's been around since 1971, manages Goldendale Homes Apartments and provides support services, including Advantage Services and on-site service coordination, to help residents stay independent for as long as possible.
The staff are fully trained, friendly, and available 24 hours a day to help if there's an emergency, and they can assist people with moving from their beds to wheelchairs or help with health needs like insulin monitoring for those managing diabetes, which is important. Meals are provided for those who want, which saves a lot of time and makes things easier, because meal preparation can get difficult, and there are laundry facilities in the building, which is handy almost every day. Residents enjoy indoor common areas like the community room and party room for socializing, along with a patio for sitting outside, as well as landscaped gardens to relax in when the weather's nice. Inside, folks will find air conditioning, all utilities included-so there's no need to worry about extra bills for electric, heat, trash, water, or sewer-plus a refrigerator and stove in every unit.
Goldendale Homes Apartments has no stairs, which is helpful for safety, and offers off-street parking and a smoke-free indoors policy, plus pet policies allow dogs and cats under 20 pounds if you pay a $300 deposit, which gives pet lovers peace of mind. Activities and wellness programs encourage movement and friendship, with organized events to help folks get to know each other and stay busy, and there's a strong sense of support as neighbors look out for each other, wanting everyone to feel like they belong. Leasing and apartment management services are on-site, so help is always easy to find, and service coordination connects residents to extra supportive services if they're needed. The focus is to support independence and help people live in a safe, comfortable, and respectful environment, where dignity is valued and everyone can feel at home.
