C.R. Uncles Plaza sits at 607 Pennsylvania Avenue in Baltimore and offers many options for seniors depending on what they need, so there's independent living for folks who still want to live on their own without having to do things like yard work or repairs, and then there's assisted living for those who need some help with daily life, so residents can get help with meals, medication, or simple tasks and have some extra support, while folks living in memory care at places like Weinberg Court at Stadium Place get personalized care for dementia in a secure setting, including round-the-clock support and activities meant to help memory, and then there's skilled nursing for those who need medical care day and night, rehabilitation, wound care, or more hands-on nursing care, while seniors who need a live-in caregiver can choose care homes, and others might choose senior apartments which are simple, accessible, and designed for people who're still active and want a no-fuss place to live, and of course, home care services are there for people who want to stay at home but need companionship and non-medical help from trained aides.
The property goes by names like C.R. Uncles Plaza and Weinberg Court and is run by The French Companies, and what's different here is that there's a big range of care types and unique names for the facilities, from apartments with studios for independent living, to specialized care areas for things like memory problems, so people can find a setting that matches what they need right now and can change as their needs change, and there are amenities like individually controlled air conditioning, elevator access, a laundry room, a fenced-in courtyard or garden where people can bring their cats or dogs, reserved parking, computer-controlled doors for safety, and a community room with a kitchen for group meals or social time, plus a beautiful courtyard if folks want some fresh air or a quiet spot, and these apartments often have options for those with accessibility needs, making them good for people who have trouble walking or using stairs.
C.R. Uncles Plaza is a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) community so it has affordable senior housing and sometimes accepts Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, so rent is tied to income but there's no sign the property takes part in project-based rent subsidy which means people usually pay rent based on their vouchers or full price, but there are some affordable units, a $35 application fee, and a security deposit equal to one month's rent, and you're likely to find units available or with a short wait compared to older programs, especially since the property's newer, built in the late 1980s or after, and apartments are larger with more amenities and tenant services than you get in some older places.
Seniors can join trips and outings, art classes, offsite activities, and devotional services, and there are some community awards showing strong efforts at offering activities, friendliness, and senior care, and meals are a focus here, with nutritious food prepared to taste good and meet dietary needs.
There's plenty of flexibility with care, so people can move in when they're still healthy and then stay in the same community if they need more help later, or they might use home care to stay in their own apartment, and the community works well for independent people, those who need help, and even those who need a high level of medical care or have memory problems. There are some income restrictions and eligibility requirements, but units accept housing vouchers, and most services and features are right on site, making it a simple, solid choice for seniors in Baltimore who need different kinds of support all in one place.
