St Michael Terrace stands as a mid-rise apartment complex in Du Bois, Pennsylvania, which opened in 1982 and was designed mainly for seniors aged 62 and older or people with disabilities who need affordable, supportive housing, and while the building has 102 units with 100 one-bedroom apartments, including 10 accessible units for those with disabilities, and just 2 two-bedroom apartments, the rent's set according to income, with utility allowances and rental assistance through FHA available, which can really help those on a limited budget after medical expenses and all. Managed by Glowacki Management and owned by the Council of Human Dignity of Dubois, Pa. Inc., a non-profit, the place has a secure entrance with camera monitoring, mail delivered inside six times a week, off-street parking for no extra cost, and a bus stop right at the front that's accessible for those needing it, and on top of that, you'll find two elevators and laundry facilities ready for residents, not to mention in each apartment there's a stove and fridge provided so people can cook their own meals if they wish.
The community takes care to offer affordable, accessible living spaces for lower-income elderly and handicapped people and keeps a waiting list for apartments, sometimes longer or shorter depending on the time, with management-and Brenda Reitz as property manager-helping keep things running smoothly with maintenance staff on-site during business hours. The building's got a beautifully decorated lobby, a community room, a library, game room, and common areas where folks like to meet up for social activities like bingo, Bible study, Wednesday morning breakfast during fall and winter, potluck suppers, parties, movie nights, and even arts and crafts groups, with an active Tenants Association organizing and supporting these efforts, and an interfaith chapel for those who want on-site devotional activities, while others enjoy offsite outings planned by staff. St Michael Terrace offers nutritious meals prepared by chefs and meal planners, focused on quality and flavor, while the care covers health needs like incontinence, diabetic support, non-ambulatory care, and full medication management, as well as memory care designed to help seniors with Alzheimer's or other dementias, using therapies and routines that lessen confusion and prevent wandering, with staff trained to assist those with behavioral issues as well.
Residents get both assisted living and independent retirement options, with support ranging from help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, to more specialized services like incontinence care or diabetic care, and if needed, physical therapy and speech therapy are available through visiting therapists, making sure to address different health situations. The apartments are safe, with easy-access features throughout the building, and ten one-bed units made specially for disabled residents, which does mean they try to keep things as inclusive and accessible as possible in line with federal nondiscrimination rules-meaning nobody gets treated differently on account of race, color, , age, national origin, or disability. Residents and their close pets often enjoy the amenities such as the outdoor area, regular meals, and group activities, and while the facility doesn't claim to do everything under the sun, it does offer supportive services focused on safety, well-being, affordability, and a sense of community for older or disabled adults in Du Bois.
