McCord Manor of Storm Lake sits over on 210 E 13th Street where it offers senior apartments and several care options like independent living, assisted living, and memory care, and you'll find both single-story cottages as well as a three-story building with an elevator-there are 44 ground floor cottage apartments and 38 units in the main building, in total that's 82 units, and they have studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, with a one-bedroom unit running about $527 a month depending on income and whether you fit the qualifications set by management. Residents here need to be 62 or older, or 18+ if there's a disability, and there are waiting lists sometimes, so anyone interested needs to call or visit the management office to start the application, which includes showing income and going through background checks for safety. The community has low-income housing for seniors, with rent-lowering policies for those who meet qualifications, and the government helps fund this place by giving money directly to the apartment owners, so it's all set up to help older adults budget for their needs.
