Garden Park Villa sits in Canon City, Colorado, at 1821 N 5th St, and has a total of 50 units with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments meant for seniors. The community follows federal guidelines for affordable housing and provides help for older adults who are at least 62 years old and meet certain income limits under the Section 8 (202) program-residents pay rent based on what they can afford, usually around 30% of their monthly income, or sometimes a fixed amount for some units. Garden Park Villa works with Volunteers of America National Services and follows Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity rules, so everyone who qualifies gets the same chance to find a home there.
Apartments come with air conditioning, heating, cable readiness, and allow small pets, plus utilities are included with the rent to make life simpler. Some apartments are accessible for people with mobility needs, and there are elevators for multi-floor access. The community has smoke detectors, fire alarms, and other fire safety features. Garden Park Villa is a non-smoking property so residents don't have to worry about secondhand smoke. Residents get on-site mail delivery and can use indoor common areas to gather or relax.
The staff at Garden Park Villa help people live as independently as possible but are around at all hours to assist when emergencies come up, help move residents between beds and wheelchairs, and support tasks like insulin checks or incontinence care. The community gives several types of care, including independent living for active seniors, assisted living for those who need some help, skilled nursing, memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, and hospice care. Nutritious meals are made with quality ingredients and dining services handle meal prep to save residents time and effort.
There are also activities on site to encourage social time, mental activity, and movement, along with offsite outings and devotional events for people who like spiritual practices. The community's close to shopping, restaurants, outdoor recreation, hospitals, doctors' offices, and rehab centers, so it's easier for people to get what they need. Garden Park Villa provides care and housing that's meant to balance safety, cost, and comfort, and the main goal is to help everyone stay as active and healthy as they can while offering a real home for those who want to live among other seniors.
