Heineberg Senior Housing sits in the quiet New North End of Burlington, right next to the Heineberg Community Senior Center, and there's a peaceful feeling here with views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains and quick access to the Burlington bike path with its paved trails that stretch for miles, and if you walk around, you'll notice the place feels a lot like a little neighborhood, with a three-story building surrounded by single-family homes, so it's not far from stores, a Catholic church, pharmacies, and the waterfront. The community offers 82 apartments for adults ages 55 and older, with both one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts available, and the building has elevator access, private rooms, and a secured entry. Most apartments come with all utilities included except for phone, cable, and internet, and the whole place is designed to help people with different incomes, offering affordable rentals, including low income tax credit units, some market rate apartments, and rental assistance based on income for those who need it, which is good if you're on a budget. There's on-site parking, a laundry room on every floor, and a Green Mountain Transit bus stop right on the property, making it easier for residents to get around, plus raised garden beds, a screened porch, a hair salon, and community rooms with a kitchen, library, and computer, so folks can do puzzles or read or cook together if they'd like.
The staff at Heineberg have a reputation for being helpful, joyful, and kind, and the community often wins awards for its care, like the Best of Senior Living Award and the All-Star designation, and that feels reassuring. They've got a full-time SASH® coordinator on site, which stands for Support and Services at Home, and a part-time nurse who helps residents stay independent and healthy, whether that's checking on you if you're feeling sick, helping you stay on track with medicine, or just being around to answer questions. Heineberg offers different kinds of support, including assisted living services for those who need help with bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, and there's memory care for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia, where staff work to reduce confusion and wandering to help residents feel safe. There's 24-hour emergency maintenance and security in the building, so someone's always available if something goes wrong, and there are also counseling and apartment locating services.
Social and wellness activities happen often at Heineberg, with educational programs, exercise and fitness sessions, as well as social gatherings like game nights and gardening, and the Heineberg Community Senior Center right next door makes it easy to join in even more programs and meet new people. Meals here focus on being nutritious, with chefs and meal planners paying attention to quality ingredients, so you get good food along with social time in the dining areas, and transportation services help people run errands or get to appointments. The community looks to give everyone a chance at a hassle-free, engaged lifestyle with different levels of care as needs change, balancing independence with a strong sense of belonging, and if you need peace and quiet you've got it, but if you want a busy calendar that's available, too.
