The Longfellow Senior Housing sits in the old Longfellow Elementary School building, which they've turned into apartments for seniors, keeping some of the old wood floors and even turning old school cubbies into wardrobes in some rooms, so there's a bit of history in the place. Residents get roomy one- or two-bedroom apartments with walk-in closets, oversized windows, and brand-new energy-efficient appliances, along with emergency pull cords in bedrooms and bathrooms for safety. There's a fitness center now in the old gym, a therapy room, community rooms, and a wellness room where third-party providers come in for private health checks. Neighbors can use the laundry room on every floor, sit in the gazebo out among the green spaces, or walk along the new trail that makes it easier to get outside and move around for exercise or a bit of fresh air.
Mail comes to a high-tech mail room, including Amazon lockers for easy package pickup, and there's on-site professional management to help when something's needed. A walkway connects the different buildings, so folks can get around without worrying about the weather, and elevators mean every floor is easy to reach. The nearby parks, cafes, pharmacies, and medical facilities mean running errands or getting care is simple, and there's a map to help with navigation. The Longfellow offers independent living, assisted living, continuing care, memory care, nursing facilities, home care, and even respite care services, making it possible to get just the help that's needed or more support if health changes, and features like the trash room, activity room, and sitting rooms help create spaces for social gatherings or peace and quiet as needed.
With 80 affordable apartments for folks 62 and older, every detail, from walk-in closets to senior apartments, responds to what this community needs. There's a focus on comfort, safety, and a bit of independence for everyone, with just enough support when needed, and folks can always ask for a tour to get to know the place better.
