Pickfair Square sits as a retirement community managed by United Church Homes, welcoming seniors aged 62 and older, as well as those who are physically handicapped or mobility impaired, and the place has a professional team that stays friendly and helpful, making sure folks feel safe and comfortable from the start. There are one-bedroom apartments with full kitchens, deadbolt locks, smoke detectors, and fire-resistant construction, along with handrails, elevators, and a sprinkler system for extra safety. Residents enjoy a clean, secure environment with well-kept grounds and charming architecture, and there's a lighted parking area, plenty of outdoor space, and controlled access too, so folks can feel at ease coming and going.
The community supports independent living but also has memory care, assisted living, Alzheimer's care, nursing care, home care, and hospice services for those who need extra help as they age, and there's a focus on affordable living thanks to Section 8 (202) program support, which offers income-based rent-usually about 30% of monthly income-and keeps rent below most standard prices in the area; fixed rent options are available as well. To qualify, folks might need to provide a driver's license or government ID, Social Security card, proof of income, bank statements, credit and personal references, and residents must meet certain income limits.
Pickfair Square offers a vibrant community atmosphere with planned social activities, an on-site service coordinator, and amenities like a community room with kitchen, mail delivery, laundry facilities, and a recreation room. Pets are welcome for a small monthly fee, and there's non-smoking policy for those who prefer it. Folks can join fitness classes, use walking trails, and take part in monthly birthday parties, games, luncheons, and other on-site events that help everyone stay involved and connected, which most people seem to appreciate, especially when it helps keep the mind and body active. There's cable, telephone, Wi-Fi, and social gatherings in the dining area, while an emergency maintenance team is available around the clock, so residents don't have to worry if something needs fixing. The place puts a strong emphasis on making sure elderly residents and those with mobility challenges have what they need to live as independently as possible, and there's at least one accessible unit in every building.
