Whiteside's Faith Manor sits in the Martin Luther King neighborhood of Chattanooga, Tennessee, and has served seniors and disabled adults since 1979, so you'll find it has some deep roots and a history that goes back a ways. The community stands out as a large, affordable home for people aged 62 or older, and also for those with disabilities starting at age 18, and it offers 117 apartments with a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, all within a 63,472 square foot building, and you'll find these apartments have income-based rent through federal HUD and Section 8 housing to help with costs, which tends to give residents peace of mind about monthly bills. The apartments and common areas were designed to be spacious for seniors, with washer and dryer access in each apartment, and units are pet-friendly so you can keep your cat or dog with you if you've got one, and the buildings use energy-efficient materials meant to keep things quiet and safe.
Whiteside's Faith Manor has 24-hour security for safety and a staff that offers independence but is always nearby, plus the building is equipped with security systems. Residents can join social clubs, eat in a social dining setting, and take part in scheduled activities, which include educational, entertaining, and wellness programs, and there are clubs where neighbors can get to know each other better. The whole place tries to make retirement easy with services like light housekeeping, meal preparation, transportation, medication reminders, and personal care, and there's errand service and respite care as well. It's close to the main spots you might need in Chattanooga, which is handy for errands or visits, and everything is focused on letting people age in place without worrying about moving again soon. Government and self-pay options are both accepted, including SSI and SSDI. It's a model for independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing home options, though the details about specific programs, utilities, parking, and in-unit features aren't all listed. The Faith Manor Nutrition Site is linked to meal services there. Whiteside's Faith Manor is a quiet, private place where affordable, comfortable retirement living and a sense of community have been the focus for many years.
