Delaney Service Coordinator

Delaney Service Coordinator sits right on West Riverside Avenue in Spokane, inside a big old eight-story building that goes all the way back to 1912, which used to have the old KREM-TV studios and once held the Spokane Police Department and City Hall annex, so it's got a lot of history in its walls, and these days it's been fixed up with new weather-friendly windows that look like the old ones did, accessible bathrooms, safer floors, better heating and air, and kitchens with new appliances, all as part of a $3.5 million effort to make everything safer and easy to get around for seniors or folks with disabilities. This place does subsidized housing for people age 55 and older, offering studios and one-bedroom apartments with rent based on 30% of your income through HUD or tax credit programs, so it really helps folks on a tight budget. The apartments have air conditioning, full kitchens, window coverings, and some units have wide doorways, low counters, and walk-in showers for wheelchairs or those who need extra help, and there's a laundry, a community room, an elevator, a library, a computer lab, and even a garden courtyard where you can sit outside when the weather's nice. They include utilities in the rent, and there's off-street parking, controlled entry, and quick access to city buses right outside the door. People who live here get help from a Social Service Coordinator who's on site, which means there's someone around to help coordinate care, meals, and personal support, along with daily activity help, medication reminders, and connecting residents to other health services or programs they might need. Delaney Service Coordinator is tied in with other communities in Spokane like The Academy, Fairwood Retirement Village, Rockwood at Whitworth, and several more, showing it's part of a bigger network through Catholic Charities Spokane, and it gives a solid place for low-income older adults or those with disabilities to live, with support there when it's needed, some group activities, and the kind of features that help folks stay independent as long as possible.
