Golden Hemlock Apartments

Golden Hemlock Apartments sits in Tacoma, WA, and offers a quiet, park-like setting with well-kept gardens and landscaped grounds, and if you look around, you'll see each unit has a private entrance from the outside, which is a nice bit of privacy you don't always find. The place caters to seniors ages 62 and up and is part of a HUD-subsidized program, so most folks living here have their rent set at about 30% of their income, with all utilities included, and the building has a total of 150 one- and two-bedroom apartments, with nearly all of them subsidized. The apartments come with carpet, garbage disposals, and cable TV hookups, and residents have access to three laundry rooms on site, so if you need to wash your clothes you won't have to go far. There's a community recreation room for group activities or private gatherings, and a library and sitting area where people can sit and visit quietly or read, and for those who like gardening, there are community gardens available. For meals, there's an on-site meal program that offers one or two prepared meals daily, and, for those who need it, laundry services are available beyond just the use of the machines. The property sits close enough to stores, banks, restaurants, grocery stores, and hair or nail salons that you can walk, and if you need public transportation, there's transit with pickup right at the front door. Golden Hemlock Apartments has both independent living and assisted living options, so people who are still active and able to care for themselves can live on their own, while those needing help with bathing, dressing, housekeeping, or general healthcare have services, too. For residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, memory care services are provided. The place keeps a non-smoking policy and makes sure that off-street parking is available, which many people appreciate. If you're looking for straightforward, accessible senior housing without a lot of frills, Golden Hemlock Apartments covers the basics with a calm setting and accessible support where needed.
