Villas at Southgate

Villas at Southgate sits in a quiet, flower-filled neighborhood in Colorado Springs, where twin three-story buildings offer 50 senior apartments each and you'll see the Rocky Mountains right out your window, and the fresh mountain air is nice on the grounds outside that are always full of color. This is a family-friendly community with its own community garden and room for residents to meet, and you can walk to shops, drugstores, and bus stops, with 17 pharmacies and 10 hospitals nearby if you need medical care, and 23 restaurants and 7 cafes give you dining choices right down the street. Residents can pick a studio or one-bedroom apartment with its own bathroom, and the rent depends on income qualification using Area Median Income (AMI) rules, but you'll want to confirm with them if the waiting list is still short, and you'll need a Section 8 voucher if you want subsidized rent since they're under the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program and no project-based rent help is available. Utilities like water and electricity are included in the rent, and the apartments are smoke-free, including the common areas. The staff are known for being friendly and helpful, working to make residents and guests feel welcome, and the community gets awards for activities that help residents stay active and connected, with things to do that keep people fit and give chances for meeting others, plus there are plenty of parks, three places of worship, and even a theater close by. The Villas at Southgate provides WiFi, transportation, and parking, and there are both independent living options for seniors who want convenience and support, and special memory care units that are safe for people with Alzheimer's or other memory problems, as well as assisted living help for those who need help with things like bathing or remembering medicine. Meals are prepared with good ingredients to keep nutrition and taste balanced, and the nursing and skilled care support changes as needs change, while activities and room amenities help people stay connected or enjoy quiet time. Management and housing services come from Archdiocesan Housing Inc. out of Denver, and the property sticks to an equal housing opportunity policy. Many residents like the outstanding views, the walks among flowers, and the peaceful setting, and with smoke-free homes, easy transportation, and support for daily living, this spot fits a lot of senior needs, and you can reach their staff Monday through Friday during normal office hours if you want to learn more or check what's available in the different studio or one-bedroom layouts.
