Theresa Maxis Apartments is a senior living community in Detroit, Michigan, found at 16800 Wyoming Street in the Fitzgerald neighborhood, and it was built in 1994, covering about 42,660 square feet with 79 units across studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, though a lot of people seem to prefer the one-bedroom units since they've got kitchens and a bit of privacy for folks who want to live on their own. The apartments are part of the HUD Section 8 Program, so they're designed to offer subsidized and affordable housing for seniors with low income, and as a multifamily property, it welcomes both women and men who can live independently, but there are also assisted living, nursing care, and memory care services available, so people can stay even if their needs change over time, and the community focus seems to be on making sure everyone feels like they belong. Residents get to enjoy group activities, outings, and walking paths, plus some indoor and outdoor common areas, and you'll often see neighbors gathering, chatting, or walking together, which helps keep folks social and engaged.
The staff at Theresa Maxis Apartments works under the direction of Trinity Senior Living Communities and they have a reputation for being kind, helpful, and joyful, with awards that recognize their friendliness, quality activities, and good care. There are specialized programs for memory care and other unique needs, and you'll find a culture here that values respect and compassion, so everyone can feel welcome, including those with different backgrounds, incomes, and identities. Residents can count on meal services with nutritious, chef-prepared options, plus common area amenities and support for activities that promote mental, emotional, and physical health. The building provides legal protections for gender identity, orientation, and source of income, and there's resident parking onsite, though pets aren't allowed. The apartments have a no-frills approach, so while you won't see fancy pools, gyms, or a long list of flashy features, you will find that the basics are well-covered, with attentive support and choices about care and living arrangements, and they've made efforts to keep things safe and accessible.
Care options are tailored and sometimes called by distinctive names, and floor plans and payment choices are available for those who qualify. Services include independent living, assisted living, and memory care, and the community is set up so residents can stay longer and adjust their level of care as needed. Activities are planned for all to support a sense of purpose, belonging, and fellowship, and the environment here leans toward being calm and friendly, so seniors who are active, healthy, and able to live mainly on their own find it a modest, dignified place to call home, all while staff and advisors are there to offer free, local senior living guidance to help families choose what's best.
