Pickaway Terrace Retirement is a senior housing community in Circleville, Ohio, that offers both independent and assisted living, so someone can stay independent if they want or get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication when they need it, and they offer companion care and memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, as well as respite care and adult day services for families needing some extra help. The facility has 60 apartments in a single-story setup, and it provides several low-income rental units, some of which have project-based Section 8 assistance, so eligible residents might only pay 30% of their income for rent, depending on income qualifications at 30%, 50%, or 80% of Area Median Income, and there's government funding for the building, so some apartments are reserved for seniors with low incomes. Since this is a popular option for affordable housing, there's often a waiting list, and folks can apply directly by calling or stopping by the management office.
Residents get a comfortable living environment with safety features like medical alert systems, home security, and medication dispensers, and there are utility services like electric and water, but there are questions about whether everything's included in the rent, so it's best to ask. The care staff responds to residents' needs, and people have commented about their helpfulness, even though timing can vary. Seniors who move in can enjoy organized activities, travel opportunities, and tailored health guides, and there are common spaces for socializing, both indoors and outdoors, with activities to keep residents engaged, whether it's mental, physical, or just fun with neighbors. Amenities include meal services with nutritious food, housekeeping, and on-site maintenance, plus the whole area's handicap accessible, making sure everyone's comfortable getting around.
Pet-friendly and non-smoking rules apply, and the building's kept in good shape through oversight from HUD-insured mortgages, so maintenance gets handled pretty well, and there's a welcoming, friendly atmosphere thanks to staff who people describe as joyful and kind. In addition to independent and assisted living, the facility offers continuing care, hospice care for seniors in their final months, skilled nursing, rehabilitation therapy, incontinence care, diabetic care, and general counseling. People who live at Pickaway Terrace Retirement get a blend of comfort, support, and inclusion, with programs and resources like senior care cost guides, counseling, and travel activities all meant to help residents stay engaged and well. There's a professional leasing team to answer questions and help new residents, and the range of services is designed to fit each person's needs, whether they're looking for active retirement or more hands-on care.
