Elliot Street Apartments

Elliot Street Apartments sits right in the center of downtown Brattleboro at 107 Elliot St, looking out over the Connecticut River, and you'll find both one- and two-bedroom apartments there for people who are over 50 or have a disability, and these apartments have either a balcony or view of the water, which a lot of folks enjoy, and the building's got two elevators to make getting around easier and has garbage chutes for tossing out trash, so you don't need to go far, and there are on-site laundry facilities, which helps with chores, and there are several community rooms where people gather for different activities or just to see each other. They've got sixty-two apartments in total, including six two-bedroom units, and the rest are one-bedroom, and some of these are accessible or can be adapted for wheelchairs, which is helpful for those who need it. Rent is kept affordable because of rental assistance programs like Section 8-Housing Choice Voucher and Shelter Plus Care, limiting what tenants pay to thirty percent of their income, and Brattleboro Housing Partnerships, a non-profit, owns and manages the place, working hand in hand with residents through a board and a resident advisory committee, so people get a say in how things go. There's a support staff on hand, and services like Support and Services at Home (SASH) and an Employment and Education Program are also offered, aiming to help with daily life and keep folks independent. The place has amenities for seniors, with common areas and recreational spaces, and its calendar is full of activities that keep people socializing, exercising, and thinking, as you'll find from the Best Activities awards they've received. The apartments aren't pet-friendly, but the community does focus on active, healthy living, and meals are provided with care to make sure they're nutritious and balanced for vitamins and minerals. There's independent living, assisted living, and memory care here, and the facility gives extra attention to residents who need specialized help with memory, making sure each person's needs are met. The apartments are in a good spot, with four cafés, nineteen restaurants, seven pharmacies, sixteen doctors, four hospitals, three parks, three transportation services, and three places of worship all nearby, so running errands or seeing friends is pretty straightforward. Tours are available for people who want to look around, and the building's been serving seniors in Brattleboro since 1982.
