LEE Center of Hibbing is a senior living community at 3220 8th Ave E in Hibbing, Minnesota, and it's set up on a wooded hillside with a park-like feel, so you get backyard views, walking paths, and even a community garden, and while being in a high-rise building might not be for everyone, it means there's an elevator and plenty of apartments, ninety of them are one-bedroom with five two-bedroom units, and these floor plans run from 552 to 768 square feet with plank flooring, a single bathroom, and appliances included, and you get your utilities bundled into the rent which is handy since it ranges from $25 up to $1,140 depending on income and subsidies. The property welcomes both dogs and cats and is smoke-free, and you'll find planned activities, a community room, off-street parking, on-site laundry, and an outdoor sitting area where folks like to gather or sit quietly and watch the trees.
LEE Center offers independent senior housing that uses HUD Section 8 rental help, so qualifying older adults aged 62 and up, or people living with disabilities, can get support they need to live here. There are different options for care and services, so besides independent living, residents can get assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, home care, and hospice, and there's a service coordinator on site who helps with daily needs. The community also offers home health care certified by Medicare and has a resident services coordinator guiding folks who need support with daily activities like dressing and bathing, which is helpful for those who like to keep their independence but need a little extra help here and there. There's a controlled entrance for safety, salon and barber services are offered on-site, and the whole place stays pretty cheerful and active with a focus on keeping things comfortable and social, and long-term stays are available for those who need them.
People find it easy to access shopping, hospitals, and clinics from here, and there are unique care programs based on what the LEE Center sees as residents' needs, which includes having an adult day program. If someone prefers to keep in touch or manage things online, LEE Center has a wide digital presence and offers online login options on various platforms like Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Threads, Meta Pay, Meta Store, Meta Quest, Ray-Ban Meta, and Meta AI, so even those not living in the building yet can check out details through street view, map, or satellite online, and if you're interested in a unit, someone there can answer calls or emails about openings. The community emphasizes being welcoming, with features like pet-friendly rooms, emergency maintenance available around the clock, and smoke-free living, so it supports anyone looking for affordable, accessible, and pleasant senior apartments with the option for extra support if life changes.
