Pineview Apartments, at 854 N Pine Rd in Essexville, MI, rents out one and two-bedroom apartments to people ages 55 and older or folks with disabilities, and you'll find there are 139 units here, each either 546 or 748 square feet, with one bathroom and layouts like Unit 244, Unit 128, Unit 341, Unit 154, and Unit 205, and every apartment comes with a full kitchen, air conditioning, energy-star appliances, a dishwasher, and you get individual climate control, plus many apartments have bathtubs and wheelchair accessible showers and the building itself is handicap accessible with an elevator for easy moving between floors, and they let you have a cat or dog as long as you follow their weight limits. Residents have laundry right here in the building, along with fitness equipment, computer lab, TV room, library, and several cozy sitting areas, while outside you'll see professional landscaping and there's parking on site, and people running the place take care of trash removal and snow clearing, too. Pineview makes things a bit easier with 24-hour emergency maintenance, heat and hot water included in your rent, and an onsite management team, plus they have a Resident Services Program, help for current rentals, and alerts about new apartments coming available. Some units have a view of the neighborhood, and there's information available on the local schools and any possible environmental risks, which adds a little peace of mind, and since it's near public transportation and local shopping, people don't need a car if they don't want to drive anymore.
Activities matter to folks here, so Pineview offers on-site social events, organized holiday parties, and devotional activities, with devotional services both in the building and sometimes at other locations, and you can get your hair done right here too since there's a beautician on-site offering grooming services, which some families think is pretty handy. The facility covers several care levels--you'll find independent living for those who don't need much help, assisted living services for things like bathing, dressing, and medicines, skilled nursing, and separate memory care services for folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia, where things are set up to reduce confusion and keep people safe from wandering off. Home care from trained aides means residents who need non-medical help or simple companionship can get it, and there's a community room for events and meetings, sometimes for group meals or movie nights. The building's been renovated lately, inside and out, with new kitchen cabinets, counters, appliances, flooring, bathroom vanities, carpet, furnaces, windows, a new roof, and even a new facade, and the apartments stick to energy efficient standards. The whole place was built using Section 236 and Section 8 project-based subsidy, which means it's aimed at keeping things more affordable for seniors or those living with disabilities. This place focuses on comfort, convenience, and dignity for older adults and people with disabilities, but, as with any apartment community, visiting and viewing a few units, like Unit 244 or Unit 341, gives a better feel for what daily life's really like here.
