Ebenezer Park Apartments

Ebenezer Park Apartments at 2700 Park Ave in Minneapolis offers affordable and subsidized housing for seniors aged 62 and older, and for adults 18 and up who are deaf, hard of hearing, or need mobility accommodations, and the place has 200 units and is a HUD Section 8 community, which means there are income qualifications, rent subsidies, and utilities included. The apartments are part of Ebenezer Senior Living, so residents get access to a complete range of care services like independent living, assisted living, memory care, and home care, and there are respite care stays available when a caregiver needs a break. The community supports seniors with dementia or memory loss through secure environments, specialized memory-enhancing activities, and round-the-clock staff. Help is always available for things like bathing, dressing, getting around, managing medications, and connecting to outside healthcare. The place aims for a home-like, maintenance-free living style, and residents can join daily planned activities, adult day programs, mental wellness programs, or just relax in outdoor sitting areas, gardens, or the fitness center. Social connection is easy with a library, weekly gatherings, a wellness center, and spaces set up so people can meet and talk, plus meals cooked by chefs and staff known for being welcoming and helpful. The property was one of the first in Minneapolis built for deaf seniors, so it's got equipment and options like assistive listening devices, a video phone, closed-caption TVs, professional sign language interpreters, and staff who use sign language. Each home has a kitchenette, plank flooring, air conditioning, cable, telephone, appliances, and furnished spaces, and pets like cats or dogs are allowed. Security's taken seriously with controlled access, secure entry, campus security, 24/7 emergency maintenance, and front-desk staff. Other practical things like a beauty/barbershop, onsite laundry, pharmacy, scheduled grocery van, monthly food shelves, and reserved off-street parking are included, and there's easy access with elevators and features for people with disabilities. Financial help is available through Ebenezer Foundation, and the community focuses on lifelong learning and intergenerational activities as well. Rentals here are smoke-free, have included utilities, and a full-time service coordinator, social worker, and planned resident programs to keep everybody connected and supported.
