Hemlock Court sits in the New West Side neighborhood at 1700 Hemlock St in Longview, WA, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care for seniors, and while folks looking around for a place that feels steady and calm might hear that Hemlock Court has a five-story secured building with 47 one-bedroom units and some garages, what sticks out is the way residents can get help with personal care and daily needs if they want, or live more independently if they don't, because really, there's a mix of both here, and some folks come for the memory care and memory-enhancing activities, especially if they or a loved one are dealing with Alzheimer's or dementia, and there are personal care assistants on site to help with things like walking, wheelchair use, and medication management, with medical support available at all hours, which gives families a sense of security, though there's respite care too for those needing short-term help.
Seniors here have access to a dining room with meals provided, and kitchens or kitchenettes in some apartments if they enjoy cooking, along with laundry and housekeeping services, maintenance, dry cleaning, and even a salon and barbershop for grooming, plus game and activity rooms, social gatherings, arts and crafts programs, educational activities, health and wellness programs, a fitness area, and game rooms to keep folks busy, and there's also an elder citizens' center and general counseling services for support, which helps people feel connected, while laundry, cable TV at a reduced rate, water, sewer, garbage, and heat for water all come included in rent.
Hemlock Court has apartment layouts with studio units, common lobbies on each floor for visiting, and a community room with patio access, and since some people wonder if they can bring pets, the answer's yes, cats and dogs are allowed, and wifi's available throughout the building.
For those needing transportation, regular rides are offered though usually for a fee, and if family or visitors arrive, guest parking's an option, which is convenient even with no regular outdoor amenities or garage details listed, and alarm signal systems, wheelchair help, and strong safety features, including sprinklers and handicap access, are all part of the setup.
Affordable housing options are available, especially for seniors 62 and older with limited income, because Hemlock Court is a LIHTC community, so usually rent is about 30% of monthly income and folks have to go through an application process with paperwork and a small fee, and there's fixed rent since income-based plans can vary, but it noticeably helps those with lower income live in a well-kept place that's focused on senior needs, with both furnished and unfurnished choices depending on availability.
Hemlock Court isn't currently being rented or sold outside their usual channels, and you'll find Longview's protections for residents in place about income, gender identity, and orientation, so that helps people from many backgrounds feel at ease, and the building itself is award-winning for senior care, with housing, counseling, and a secure environment being the main draw for people looking at retirement or assisted living in the Longview area, zip code 98632.
