Oxford House sits at 2700 N. Monroe Street in Decatur, IL, and serves seniors aged 62 or older and adults with disabilities, and the place is managed by Related Companies, so you get professional oversight and reliable service and-while there aren't any reviews found for Oxford House-the building is close to other properties that are subsidized and accessible, and some were even designed for those with disabilities, which means if you need special features or help getting around, you're likely to find something useful here.
The community operates with several affordable housing programs, such as the Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance and Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, so rent is tied to income for many, and there are clear income limits based on the Area Median Income set at 30%, 50%, 60%, and 80%, but waiting lists can get pretty long, especially due to the project-based subsidy arrangements. Oxford House can't accept Section 8 tenant-based vouchers because of a contract rule, but there are still rental assistance options and guidance on qualifications.
You'll find different care types-independent living, assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, skilled nursing, respite care for short-term support, and even continuing care retirement community options-so they cover most needs, with extras like medication help, daily living assistance, meals, wound care, and rehabilitation, plus personalized activities and secured environments for those who need memory support.
Apartments and condos are pet-friendly if you have a cat or dog under 25 pounds, but there's a one-pet-per-unit rule and a refundable $300 deposit, and each unit offers basics such as air conditioning, bathroom assist bars, cable TV readiness, and utilities like water, sewer, and trash already included, while on-site management handles emergencies at all hours. Room amenities are designed to keep residents comfortable, while the building itself offers wheelchair-accessible showers, essential for those who need easier access.
Oxford House also makes daily life easier by having a laundry room, beauty salon, library, and community spaces for meals or activities and, while the meal service is included along with planned activities, you're likely to see both on-site and off-site events, devotional services, and transportation or parking provided, plus you'll find options like shuffleboard courts, Wii Bowling, an exercise room, community room, picnic area, and lots of activities such as Bingo and monthly potlucks organized by resident services. The property has standard leasing periods of 12 months, and all these services aim to help seniors and disabled adults keep their independence as long as possible, responding quickly to maintenance needs and focusing on a safe, friendly atmosphere.
