Harbor Avenue Residence

Harbor Avenue Residence has a little bit of everything because the property mix is pretty unusual, with commercial spaces, garages for auto repair, and a range of residential choices that include basic apartments, duplexes, triplexes, boarding or rooming houses, and something called an "Apt Hotel," so you find both historic buildings from as far back as 1860 and others built as recently as 1999, all with varied size, from smaller places with just a handful of bedrooms up to larger buildings that have as many as 20 beds, plenty of bathrooms, and living spaces that run from 788 square feet up to over 12,000 if you count the larger properties. The property has options for people with lower income, meeting 30% Area Median Income (AMI) and LIHTC income limits, and there are rental programs like Project-Based Rental Assistance and Supportive Housing for the Elderly, so seniors over 62-even those who need accessibility-can find housing here, and the community manages to offer 24-hour supervision along with help for bathing, dressing, medication, and moving around, providing things like laundry, housekeeping, move-in help, and daily meals in a shared dining room where allergy-friendly, diabetes-aware, and special diets are supported, and there're scheduled activities like movie nights, walking paths in the garden, holiday celebrations, transportation to local places, and vocational or life skill programs for those who want them. Residents get furnished rooms-private or shared-that can be made more personal, plus their own telephones, emergency alert systems, and big, cheerful shared spaces filled with sunlight, with outings to local parks or shops made safe and comfortable by the staff, and although no public information goes into detail about everything Harbor Avenue Residence can provide, it's clear the place takes care to match help to what the resident needs, organizing both day-to-day care and special events, offering short-term respite stays if a caregiver needs a break, and giving support not only for medical needs but for staying active in the community, plus there's an affiliation with The PLUS Company Inc., a nonprofit focused on supporting adults with disabilities, so it's a diverse and supportive place that tries to let seniors have as much independence as possible while giving them a safe and comfortable home.
