Seabury at Friendship Terrace sits on Butterworth Place in the quiet Tenleytown area of Washington, D.C., where seniors aged 62 or older find affordable apartments in a six-story building with a private courtyard, and there are 180 units altogether, with 125 of these set aside as affordable senior housing based on each tenant's income, through project-based vouchers managed by DCHA. The building's been updated with new hallways, stairwells, a modernized lobby and dining hall, and a small exercise room on the first floor, plus there's a rooftop cooling tower and solar panels helping the building stay efficient, and you'll find a greenhouse for residents who like plants. Residents live in secure apartments with floor-to-ceiling windows, wall-to-wall carpeting, walk-in closets, full kitchens, and large bathrooms, and the grounds are in a tree-lined, peaceful location that's walking distance to the Tenleytown Metro Station, which is convenient if folks want to go out.
Meals come from an in-house chef, with restaurant-style dining served daily at lunch and dinner, as well as a special brunch on Sundays, and the community has a $2 million Food Trust aimed at making sure everyone gets healthy, decent food. In terms of care, staff are known for being helpful and friendly, and the place has won awards for that, offering services like incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, medication management, diabetic care, and general service coordination to help residents get the help they need. There's a range of planned activities, with an activity calendar and newsletter, and people have noticed the active focus on community, family, and non-profit values, as Seabury at Friendship Terrace connects to the broader Seabury Resources group.
Fax facilities support any needed correspondence, and if someone's thinking about moving in, there's help available for rental applications as well as possible rental assistance. Each apartment aims to be both affordable and comfortable, with easy access to the building's many amenities and nearby city attractions, so most seniors will find themselves able to enjoy both independence and support, with nutritional meals, kind staff, and a social atmosphere all part of everyday life at Friendship Terrace.
