Best Choice Community Center provides resources and services that help with many needs, like Family Support Grant, HIV/AIDS services, ICF/DD and SILS programs, and options for hospice care. The center offers Personal Care Assistant (PCA) services and has nursing staff who provide skilled nurse visits, therapy, and help at home. You'll find all sorts of waivers and program documents like BI, CAC, CADI, Elderly Waiver, and DD waivers for people with disabilities, along with forms and guides - they've got things like program glossary, waiver overviews, training, help desks, and guides for making informed care choices and backup plans in emergencies.
The home itself is a brick, single-family house built in 1958, standing on a level and wide lot that's 3.71 acres, which leaves space if someone wants to renovate or subdivide later on. There's no pool, spa, or fancy HOA stuff, and the house doesn't have a carport or garage, but there's open parking on a driveway and a parking pad. The house has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, hardwood floors, and finished spaces both above ground and in the basement - about 2,292 square feet of finished area. You get central heat and air, a gas grill outside, a gas range inside, cable utilities, and essentials like chef-prepared meals and help around the home.
The center also has everything set for Electronic Visit Verification (EVV), policies for live-in caregivers, and Safe at Home programming, with strict waiver management systems, documentation, and process guides, plus case management for adult protection and support with financial matters, including budgets and case caps. The home sits close to schools and shopping, and doesn't share walls with other houses, so residents can enjoy privacy. Folks who live here benefit from mental health services, assessments for Social Security Disability, and support with Medicare and Medical Assistance eligibility - all carefully documented and managed with person-centered focus. The property is a resale and can sell for cash, conventional, or FHA financing - it doesn't have waterfront views, but the grounds are spacious and flat, which makes getting around easier for everyone.
