Wesley House Senior Apartments

Wesley House Senior Apartments stands at 3400 Commodore Joshua Barney Drive in Washington, DC, in the Brentwood/Trinidad/Woodridge area, serving older adults aged 55 and up and people with disabilities, and the building went through full renovations back in 2004. The facility runs under the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program and accepts Section 8, keeping rents around 30% of monthly income for those who qualify, and there are income and age restrictions, so applicants go through credit and background checks, need paperwork like ID, social security, income proof, bank statements, and references, and pay an application fee by money order, which usually costs between $25 and $50. The building offers 127 units, with a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, all designed for safety and independence, and they're wheelchair accessible, non-smoking indoors, and have apartments for both men and women, with many dedicated to seniors and handicapped residents, where about 62% are seniors and 63% are disabled, and there's transportation, on-site and off-site meals, activities, community rooms, indoor and outdoor gathering areas, barbecue spots, a beauty and barber shop, a community kitchen, and a computer room. There's a residence council with officers, and the building includes an office for the tenant association with computers for use, and management comes from DC Housing Authority and Fort Lincoln Realty Corporation, with a staff who helps residents maintain independence as they age and who schedule regular social, educational, and recreational events. The apartments support aging in place and offer care options ranging from independent living to assisted living, nursing home care, home care, memory care, hospice, and respite services, with access to nurses, doctors, a dentist, and a podiatrist, as well as physical, occupational, and speech therapies and homecare services right on site. Pets are allowed, there's parking for residents, and extra measures for safety, security, and convenience, plus the community's tracking stats on occupancy, rental rates, and amenities are always up to date. People who want to learn about availability, schedule time to see the apartments, or get more facts on surrounding weather, crime, parks, or health facilities can reach out for personalized quotes and questions, but sometimes the management's a bit slow to respond since they handle several properties. All in all, Wesley House focuses on keeping older adults with limited incomes active, safe, and part of a welcoming community, with necessary supports in place and a rating of 6 out of 10 from people who've lived there.
