Bethel Estates is a senior living community with two locations-one on Southwestern Blvd in Hamburg, NY, and another on Affinity Lane in Buffalo, NY-and the management team includes Ms. Sherry Schleede, Property Site Manager, who helps make sure things run smoothly. This place has a range of senior living options, such as independent living, assisted living, memory care, and long-term care, so you see seniors here who just need some company as well as folks who need more help. It's federally subsidized and offers Section 8 housing, so rent depends on your income, and only seniors aged 62 or older can live here. There are two towers, each four stories tall, with a total of 229 one-bedroom apartments and 16 two-bedroom apartments, and you've got 17 apartments carefully adapted for people with mobility issues. Apartments are pretty roomy, with one-bedrooms at about 600 square feet and two-bedrooms at 720 square feet, and you'll find features like tile floors, pantries, linen closets, kitchen amenities such as refrigerators, ovens, electric ranges, plus ceiling fans, bathtub/shower units, emergency pull cords, intercom systems, window blinds, and wheelchair accessibility in some units.
Pets are allowed, which makes a nice touch for animal lovers, and everyone lives in a smoke-free environment. The property has lovely landscaping with big trees, a charming courtyard, and plenty of outdoor green spaces for relaxing or walking. There's high-speed internet, 24-hour emergency maintenance, and shopping bus service, which makes daily errands a bit easier, and you'll find the place is close to stores and banks, too. Building features include central elevators, controlled access, disposal chutes, a laundry facility, a recycling program, and multi-use rooms. Residents use a community room with a fireplace, a library, a gazebo, and a grill and BBQ area for gathering with friends or neighbors. The community hosts planned activities that support seniors' social, physical, and emotional well-being, and there's special attention to residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, giving them a safer, more supportive place to live. Support is also available for daily needs like bathing, dressing, and medication management if someone requires it. Bethel Estates focuses on accessibility, which means vision-impaired and hearing-impaired features, and it explains tenants' rights to reasonable accommodations for disabilities according to New York State rules.
Staff here have a reputation for being helpful, friendly, and welcoming, and there's application help if you need it-the team will walk you through online, mailed, or printed forms from Monday through Friday, 11AM to 4:30PM. The living environment stays lively because there are many planned activities, and the area outside stays peaceful because of all the trees and greenspace. Apartments are pleasant and affordable, with flexible options for income-based rent, and with Section 8 housing, it's easier for seniors to find a place to live that suits their needs and budgets. The community's earned awards like Best of Senior Living and All-Star recognition for excellence in care and activities, and the environment's made welcoming with support for different kinds of senior care, nutritious meals, and friendly neighbors.
