Marengo Housing-Elderly

Marengo Housing-Elderly, also known as Lhdc Marengo Housing For Elderly, sits in Marengo, IN and provides affordable senior housing through the Section 8 (202) program, which means rent is based on about 30% of the resident's income, so it's easier for low-income seniors or those with disabilities to manage. The place has 42 one- and two-bedroom apartments set up for people 62 and older or anyone with a disability, and they've made sure units work for folks with mobility needs, with elevators for easy access if there's more than one floor, and with non-smoking policies for everyone's comfort. Services here include independent living and assisted living, plus memory care, non-ambulatory care, respite care, diabetic care, and incontinence care, with a team available 24 hours every day and staff trained for diabetes, ready to help with things like checking blood sugar and insulin. The community room gives residents space for socializing and there are indoor common spaces and a shelter house for group activities, plus educational resources and off-site devotional activities that help keep people engaged both in body and mind, which is important, and there's always some helpful activity or event happening that can liven up the routine. Meals are provided daily, there's onsite mail delivery, fire alarms, smoke detectors, and laundry facilities, and each apartment gets water, sewer, and trash included in the rent, which takes away a few worries. The location is close to doctors, pharmacies, restaurants, transportation, parks, entertainment, and other elder care services, making it good for staying connected and getting to appointments or go out, and with a Service Coordinator on staff, residents can find help with many different needs as they arise. The community is part of the LHDC group, which works for affordable housing, and is listed at seniorsbluebook.com, so people can check for updates, maps, and more details online, and they can also look at resource articles or use social media and chat for questions. The apartments and building have seen recent updates to help everyone stay comfortable, move-in specials sometimes happen, and overall, daily living here is set up to be steady, safe, and as easy as possible, especially for folks who need some extra support.
