Sagewood Senior Apartments sits over at 4815 LeAnne Ave in Caldwell, Idaho, in a spot that gives you some peace and quiet, surrounded by mountain views and just a bit over three miles from downtown Caldwell and about five miles northwest of Nampa, so the place feels tucked away but still near everything someone might need, and you can get there by car since the area's got a walk score of 35 and isn't easy to get around on foot, though it does have some bike paths with a score of 37, and for seniors aged 55 and older who don't make over the income limit, there are 48 apartment homes split between one-bedroom places at 738 square feet and two-bedroom places at 963 square feet, all with rents kept affordable, usually between $431 and $513 per month, thanks to their Low Income Housing Tax Credit program, which means these homes are for folks who may be living on a limited income and need a solid spot to call home. The community's friendly toward pets, as long as you pay the pet deposit and any monthly fee, and they'll let you keep most kinds of pets on the property, and the policies are clear that there's no smoking inside private spaces or public indoor areas.
The folks here try to make things easier by including water service and trash removal in your rent, so that's one less bill to keep track of, and the apartments have Energy Star appliances, full kitchens, washer and dryer hookups, central heating and air conditioning, and even little patios or balconies to get some fresh air, and some of the apartments come with their own garage, while others use the covered parking or parking lot. The building's set up to be accessible, with elevators, barrier-free sidewalks, handicapped-equipped units, and controlled access for security, making sure everyone can get around with less worry, and if there's ever a problem, 24-hour maintenance support and on-site management are ready to step in, following all the laws and guidelines for safety and accessibility, and privacy's important too, so you get window coverings, and the apartments are ready for phone, cable, and community WiFi connections.
Sagewood has a range of services so older adults can enjoy independence or get the help they need-there are independent living options for active seniors, assisted living services if someone needs help with daily activities like bathing or taking medicine, memory care for folks with conditions such as Alzheimer's who need a secure, calm place, and even care homes with live-in aides or home care for companionship and support at home, plus nurses on staff and both doctors and nurses on call, and there's access to dental, podiatrist, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Veterans and surviving spouses who qualify might get VA benefits like Aid and Attendance to help cover costs. Transportation is another help, as there's a shuttle service for residents to get to medical appointments or errands, and parking for those who drive themselves.
Common areas inside and out let people gather to play games, share meals, or just chat, and there's a community room, business center, fitness center, and both indoor and outdoor spaces for social activities, plus community programs that encourage people to make friends and join in educational or devotional events, so there's something for everyone who likes to keep busy or doesn't want to sit alone, and all of this is managed by a staff who do their best to make sure seniors feel at home and heard. Sagewood considers both male and female residents, and works under fair housing rules that protect all residents' rights, including those related to gender identity, orientation, and other local protections. Community laundry is available, too, if you don't have your own unit's washer and dryer hooked up yet.
Applying for an apartment means needing to provide a driver's license, Social Security card, proof of income, bank statements, and references-there's a nonrefundable application fee that's usually $25 to $50, with a $500 security deposit if you're approved, and folks who apply must each fill out forms for every community they're interested in. The property accepts residents who are 55 years or older and meet income guidelines, and they try to offer personalized support during the move-in process and ongoing services after that, like social workers who visit regularly. The apartments are described as well-built, using energy-efficient materials, with carpet and vinyl floors, appliances like microwaves and refrigerators in each unit, and plenty of light in the living and bedroom areas, and there's a focus on keeping things simple, functional, and comfortable-luxury touches might be there, but the biggest draw is the feeling of community and support for people wanting to live independently without breaking their budget.
