Havens of Abbeville sits in Abbeville, LA, and has served seniors since 2012, offering independent living and senior apartments for those able to live on their own, and you'll notice right away there's a gated community with pet-friendly homes, so folks with pets can bring them too, and inside these senior apartments, you can choose from studios, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom layouts that run from 800 to 950 square feet, and the apartments come with private patios or balconies, window blinds, faux wood floors, washer and dryer, energy star-rated appliances, faux granite countertops, and you'll find space with 1 to 2 bathrooms as well as storage areas for things you want tucked away but close. The community tries to support both independence and comfort, offering kitchens in every unit, individual climate control, cable TV, and barrier-free access for those who might need it, along with options for folks who need help with medical or personal care tasks and medication management, but you'll see apartments set up so seniors can do most things on their own if that's what they want, and there's the option to have pets stay in the apartments too, something that's important to a lot of people.
Around the grounds you'll find plenty of activities and amenities, including a chapel and chaplain services for spiritual support, a fitness center, a game room, computer room, library, lounge, hair salon, laundry rooms, business center, clubhouse, and even a convenience or gift store, and if you like the outdoors, there's outdoor areas and a swimming pool with a sun deck where folks can enjoy nice weather. Meals get served both in a cafe snack area and with restaurant-style dining, and those with special diets can get meals made for their needs. The facility holds scheduled trips, art and educational classes, movies, music and dance programs, and social gatherings, so in addition to regular daily life, you can get involved in whatever you're interested in, or take it slow on your own time. Housekeeping, linen service, and transportation are available if you want help with daily chores or getting around town, and there's guest accommodations for when family or friends want to visit for a bit.
Each unit includes utilities in the fees, and there's an income qualification process, plus you'll need a security deposit. The facility isn't BBB accredited. Havens of Abbeville doesn't claim to be perfect, but it aims to provide a safe, comfortable place for seniors who want to live as independently as possible with some extra support available if needed, and with floor plans and care options meant to fit a range of needs, it's a place where you can find your own pace, settle into routines, and still have access to medical help and community programs whenever you like.
