Holy Angels Apartments sits on 16 scenic acres in the Hazelwood and Bridgeton area of St. Louis, at 3455 and 3499 DePaul Lane, right next to DePaul Hospital where three other hospitals also stand close for emergencies, and you'll find all sorts of things nearby, like parks, shopping, a theater, many transportation options, and over a dozen restaurants. The property, run by Cardinal Ritter Senior Services, a non-profit under Catholic Charities and the Archdiocese of St. Louis, offers affordable independent living in 57 one-bedroom apartments spread out over three floors, each apartment measuring 605 square feet with carpeting, window treatments, and a full kitchen, plus each unit has two emergency pull-cords and individually controlled heating and cooling, and utilities are included except for phone and cable. Seven units on the ground floor are fully accessible for those who have hearing, vision, or mobility disabilities, so people who need that extra help can still move around their home easily, and pets up to 25 pounds are welcome.
Rent at Holy Angels Apartments is subsidized, set at 30% of the resident's income, but you have to be age 62 or older and meet HUD income guidelines, with proof of income, a photo ID, and a Social Security card required for eligibility, and there's also a criminal background check. Samantha Reeves is the property manager. Residents have access to a Service Coordinator Program, personal care, homemaker services, social services, health screenings, Meals on Wheels, transportation support, legal, mental health, and financial assistance, including help with Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security benefits. There's daily resident checks, laundry facilities, parking, a multipurpose activity room, a chapel for religious services, and a neighborhood network computer center.
Everyone can join in both on-site and off-site social activities, and you can walk in four nearby parks or get a ride to shopping, outings, or doctors; there's a doctor's office, ten pharmacies, and ten transportation choices close by. Holy Angels Apartments also has skilled nursing, memory care, assisted living, home care, adult day services, long-term care, and access to hospice, with help available 24 hours a day, and the building is handicap accessible. Apartments come unfurnished so residents can make their space feel like home. The second property, Holy Angels II Apartments, sits nearby in Bridgeton and offers more one-bedroom options, including units with accessible designs. The community's quiet, beautiful setting, easy access to medical care, attentive staff, and a wide range of support services make it a practical and comfortable option for older adults needing a mix of independence and help as they age.
