Villa Scalabrini

Villa Scalabrini sits as a nine-story apartment community with 120 one-bedroom units and 12 of those apartments are handicapped accessible, offering both assisted living and independent living, with memory care and Alzheimer's care as well, and you'll find that neighbors often feel like family in a place with hallways that echo friendly greetings and a community room that keeps people connected over coffee hours, PEACE lunches on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and a busy calendar of social, educational, and entertainment activities - there's even a piano and a pool table. This is a Section 8 (202) Community for very low-income elderly residents, so if someone qualifies, rent will generally be around 30% of the resident's monthly income and that rent includes a utility allowance, with electric heat in the apartments, and the building is non-smoking except for inside private residences. Small domestic pets under 25 pounds can stay with a small deposit, and everyone who lives here can count on features like smoke and heat detectors, emergency pull cords in every apartment, a fire detection system, elevators, and at least one unit made for seniors with mobility impairments under age 62, plus the building has a resident-controlled "Entra-guard" security system and a nightly security guard for safety and peace of mind. A superintendent stays on site with 24-hour emergency response, and there's free off-street parking for residents. A service coordinator works five days a week to help with daily activities, medication management, and arranging supportive services, while trained medical staff is on hand for health needs, and the front patio-garden is a nice spot to sit outdoors. The facility hosts monthly blood pressure clinics and coordinates bus trips to Wegmans on Tuesdays and Tops on Wednesdays, making errands easier. Villa Scalabrini is HUD-subsidized, sponsored by St. Mark's Episcopal Church, and emphasizes dignity, respect, and security, while inviting residents to take part in programs that renew hope and encourage creative living in affordable, well-maintained housing, with convenient access to essential services, stores, and emergency care.
