Rainbow Court and Southside Apts sit at 97 7th Avenue South in Wahpeton, ND, and they offer affordable housing options for seniors and people with disabilities, so folks on a fixed income can get a decent apartment with rent based on what they make, and there's help through Section 8 vouchers, other rental assistance, and even medical expense deductions for those 62 and older or with disabilities, since these apartments are connected with the Housing Authority of Cass County and Richland County. There are one- and two-bedroom apartments, and some are at ground level with step-free entry and private entrances, and apartments come with air conditioning, controlled heat, walk-in storage, and stackable washers and dryers, and every apartment covers heat, water, electricity, sewer, and garbage, so tenants don't have to worry about separate utility bills stacking up, and maintenance, lawn care, and snow removal are all handled for them.
Rainbow Court welcomes cats and dogs, so pets can join, and residents often gather in the indoor common areas or community room, where there's free laundry, bingo, holiday parties, and potlucks to bring everyone together, and there are both on-site and off-site activities to keep folks active-including movement and social time-and devotional services are available off the property for those who want them. Meals are provided, and if someone needs help with things like insulin monitoring or moving from a bed to a wheelchair, trained staff are there 24 hours a day, making sure support is always close by, and they know how to help with incontinence care and non-ambulatory care, too. Rainbow Court is part of publicly operated affordable housing and has apartments set aside for homeless and housing services as well as traditional senior living, and CareChoice is involved with the community. Residents have easy access to nearby cafes, parks, restaurants, pharmacies, transportation, places of worship, and hospitals, so daily living is convenient, and there's a smoke-free environment for people who need it. Fees vary depending on room type and care needs, and payment is accepted in many forms, including private pay, Social Security, veterans' benefits, and some insurances, with specialized fees for respite care, additional persons, and buy-in needs. The apartments are designed to support seniors in both independent and assisted living, providing a safe and welcoming place to call home without being fancy or overdone-just a dependable spot to settle in and be part of a friendly group.
