Ogden House sits at 100 River Rd in Wilton, CT, and has 84 apartments for seniors and specific disabled folks, mostly with 80 one-bedroom units and 4 two-bedroom units, all in a three-story building with two elevators, and the place was made affordable because it joined HUD's Section 202 program, so rent often goes by 30% of what people actually make, plus there are some fixed-rent options. The building's owned by Ogden House, Inc., a non-profit, with backing from New Samaritan Corporation, and it's for people at least 62 at move-in or who qualify as disabled under federal programs, and you have to meet specific income limits. Electricity, heat, and water are in the rent, but cable and phone aren't, though every unit comes wired for cable and has window blinds or curtain rods. Apartments all have full kitchens with electric stoves and refrigerators, full bathrooms with either a tub or a shower, individual thermostats, and safety stuff like hard-wired smoke detectors, fire alarms, and an emergency call system inside each apartment.
The place has a strong focus on being accessible and safe, and there are 9 specific handicap-adapted units designed for folks who need them, and the whole building's got elevators and wheelchair-friendly access spots, plus laundry rooms on each floor. People there get supportive services, including help with things like dressing, bathing, and sometimes meals-there's a meal program with one or two meals per day-and staff stays on site around the clock to help when you need it, plus house cleaning and on-site maintenance. Memory care costs more for people with dementia or Alzheimer's. Ogden House even works as a kind of residential care home for those who need more help, and there are programs for independent living, assisted living, or a mix of both, so active people can stay independent while getting the help they need. Some units are for non-smoking only.
Communal spaces include a library, lounge, community room, and a craft room set aside for activities, and the staff puts together all sorts of scheduled programs to help people make friends, keep busy, or stay connected, and on-site mail delivery means you don't need to go far for your post. The residents get legal protections under federal and Connecticut law, including strong anti-discrimination protections, and the whole property is managed under HUD rules to keep things fair. There's no public information about parking arrangements, leasing terms, or fees, and the building's not for sale or listed for rent on major sites, but all the basics for comfort and safety are covered, and the focus is on keeping costs low for those who qualify, so the place really tries to put dignity and support first for folks as they get older.
