Boardwalk Apartments lets residents speak English, and that comes across in all their signs and notices around the place, and they allow pets like dogs and cats but cats have to stay under a certain weight so that's something to watch if you want to bring your pet, and when it comes to getting around, the facility has parking for residents, which means folks with their own cars won't have much trouble, and public transportation is close if someone doesn't drive. There are outdoor and indoor community spaces so people can sit with others or enjoy a bit of time alone, and rooms have tubs or baths and wheelchair friendly showers, which might make life a bit easier when moving around, and some rooms also give you a view though details on that are pretty general. They have medication management as part of the healthcare services, so staff can help remind residents about their medicine if needed, and the place is laid out with different types of care for folks who have different needs, though the information about exactly what those types are isn't available. Boardwalk Apartments uses some special names for its rooms and activities, and there are a variety of community features and services shaped to what residents might want, but not everything about these services or unique terms is explained in the details they give.
Caring staff, convenient yet noisy
I put my mom here and can say the staff are genuinely caring and helpful, the building is clean with new floors and a nice courtyard, and the downtown location near restaurants and transit is great. Apartments are small with thin walls and limited amenities, but there are some activities (bingo, potlucks) and it's affordable. Maintenance and management are inconsistent - some fixes were quick, yet blinds, other repairs and deposits were delayed, and management seems overworked and frequently changes. My biggest concerns are safety and noise: a nearby homeless shelter, early truck/construction noise, reports of police calls and violence, and what feels like poor tenant screening. Overall a decent option if you value kind staff and location, but expect unstable management, noise, and security trade-offs.
