Ratekin Towers sits at 1011 North Tenth Street in Grand Junction, CO, and it's a six-story senior living building with 107 units, all set up as low-income apartments for seniors and subsidized by HUD so rent is based on 30% of your gross income or a flat rate, and gas, electric, water, sewer, and trash are covered with the rent, which makes things a lot simpler for folks on a budget. The building's got one-bedroom units, a solid management team, and indoor mail delivery along with laundry rooms, a dining room, activity rooms, a TV area, a computer lab, and a kitchen area-plus a library room, shared social areas, a dining hall, and a fenced outdoor recreation spot so residents can get fresh air without worry; they've even got security doors to help everyone feel safe.
There are different care types, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing; places in the building like Mesa Manor Center, The Vineyards Memory Care, Western Slope Memory Care, Aspen Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center, and La Villa Grande Care Center have their own names for special programs-covering assisted living for those who need help with everyday activities, memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, and specialized nursing and rehab services, so no matter what level of support a person needs, there's usually a fit. For those still able to do things for themselves, Solstice Senior Living at Grand Valley and the Hilltop Life Adjustment Program offer senior apartments and independent living choices, with accessible, no-frills housing meant for generally healthy folks.
The property has amenities like pet-friendly spots, Wi-Fi, and handicap-access features; there's a focus on creating a friendly, faith-based place where residents, visitors, and staff know each other. The services include home care, personal and healthcare assistance, emergency call systems, and 24-hour supervision for those who need it. There's a strong activities program to keep people active in body and mind, and nutritious meals planned and cooked by on-site chefs. Ratekin Towers is close to cafes, parks, pharmacies, theaters, healthcare providers, and places of worship, which means residents have easy access to what they need and places to spend time outside the building. There's public transportation nearby, and the on-site management, run by groups like 1-3 Howland Park Realty Trust and 1010 Senior Housing Corp, keeps things organized and safe. All in all, it's a well-run HUD senior housing community with a variety of services and building features for older adults who want security, care options, basic comforts, and a sense of community.
