Mount Carmel Manor

Mount Carmel Manor sits at 1560 Bellows Street in West Saint Paul, Minnesota, right in ZIP code 55118, and it mainly serves adults aged 62 or older and adults living with disabilities who need affordable rents because they qualify for subsidized housing, with the rent based on income, and this can really help people who are looking for something manageable in their budget. The community has apartment units with one, two, three, and four bedrooms-though some are set aside for very low-income folks, especially those needing a one-bedroom, and you'll find 60 units packed into a three-floor building. The place is pet-friendly, welcoming both dogs and cats with a pet deposit of $300, which makes it easier for residents who already have animal companions and worry about finding a new home that'll take them. Mount Carmel Manor doesn't list things you sometimes see in other places, like a pool, hot tub, or fancy air conditioning, but it does have in-building laundry, a party room, a business center, a computer room for technology needs, some garden plots for residents who want to dig in the dirt, and a patio for a little fresh air. You won't find any clear information here about specialized care like assisted living, memory care, or nursing care, but there's a response system in place to help in case residents need to reach out for assistance, and a dedicated service coordinator up front, who helps people keep living on their own, which can be a blessing for folks who want to stay as independent as possible. The property tries to keep things comfortable and safe too, with control over who comes and goes thanks to controlled access, and a smoke-free policy in indoor spaces, so you don't have to worry much about that lingering smell in the hallways. Advantage Services provides extra support for people who need it, which could include help with everyday matters or connecting with programs, though there aren't many extra details about what those services cover day to day. The building's managed by CommonBond Communities, and it stays pretty steady and simple as an apartment community for seniors and people with disabilities, without much flash, but with enough basics to make living there straightforward and manageable.
