Providence House Apartments sits at 1700 W Onondaga St in Syracuse, New York, and is part of Christopher Community, Inc., which runs a network of retirement communities and offers a wide range of housing for seniors, families, and people with disabilities, so if someone's looking for senior housing, family housing, or a place with different levels of care, there are quite a few options nearby, with names like Adamski Village, Barrett Manor, Joslyn Court, Malta Manor, and others also in the area, and Providence House itself is designed for people aged 62 or older or those with mobility issues, offering affordable HUD-subsidized apartments tailored for seniors who want to live as independently as possible, with options for assisted living and memory care if anyone ever needs more help down the line. The building has 24-hour safety systems with security cameras, locked doors, and a resident-controlled "Entra-guard" security system, while apartments come with smoke and heat detectors, emergency pull cords, sprinklers, and have small pets allowed under 25 lbs with a pet deposit.
Residents can use the on-site laundry, free off-street parking, and utility allowances, and the apartments have kitchens or kitchenettes, and heat and hot water included, plus balconies on upper floors so there's a bit of fresh air and a view, and a community room with a kitchen and library is open for social gatherings, along with regular social, arts, health, and wellness programs. Families and guests have parking and the building stays smoke-free. There's an on-site Superintendent and a Service Coordinator five days a week who helps residents with daily needs and support, and a social worker is available. Beyond the building, the community connects people to several other housing options, including places for independent living, family housing like Academy Square Apartments and Camillus Heights, and specialized senior communities like Bishop Harrison Apartments or Mercy Apartments.
Providence House Apartments offers assisted living, memory care, and even skilled nursing if someone needs more serious medical attention, providing services like personal care assistants, help with bathing and dressing, medication management, meals, laundry, dry cleaning, and transportation. The staff keeps a good reputation for being friendly and helpful, and the place gets high scores on reviews. There's internet and cable TV, a game room, on-site fitness center, and safe features for those with mobility problems. Residents get nutritious meals and dining services with focus on quality. Activities engage the body and the mind, while personalized care and support adjust as someone's needs change, with respite care and memory-enhancing activities on hand, plus secure memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia and round-the-clock support for those residents. Providence House Apartments doesn't try to be something it's not, but provides stable, safe, and friendly senior living with options for different needs, all inside a welcoming community.
