Epworth Towers

Epworth Towers offers a safe and friendly senior living option at 2800 Augusta Lane in Hays, Kansas, mainly for independent seniors who still like to stay active but may want a bit of help now and then, and you'll find 88 one-bedroom and 2 two-bedroom apartments with central heat, air conditioning, carpet and vinyl floors, and a kitchen set up with an oven, range, refrigerator, and a double sink with garbage disposal, and all apartments come with window blinds for comfort, while the building itself gives a peaceful smoke-free setting with a clubhouse, lobby, sunrooms on each floor, and a community room where folks gather for bingo, activities, and monthly health clinics, plus there's an on-site laundromat and off-street parking. Epworth Towers is a Section 8 (202) mid-rise, income-based community for people 55 and older, so rent usually matches about 30% of monthly income, and it allows a single dog or cat up to 20 pounds with a pet deposit, so even pets can move in. The apartments include all paid utilities-heat, electricity, water, trash, and sewer-and the place is set up for easy living with elevators, accessible units, laundry facilities, and a community-wide emergency call system for extra peace of mind, along with 24/7 emergency maintenance and on-call staff for when something comes up, and staff are known to be helpful and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. For people who need more help, Epworth Towers has care options for those needing support with daily activities like bathing and dressing, and there are shared neighborhood homes available for those who need a live-in caregiver. The community also includes memory care services for folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the building has features meant to reduce confusion and prevent wandering. Residents can join in a regular schedule of social, educational, and entertaining activities, keeping folks physically and mentally active, and meals come from chefs and planners who make sure food is nutritious. Seniors with very low incomes will find independent living options here too, so they can remain as independent as possible but with easy access to staff and services if their needs change, and everyone is encouraged to get to know their neighbors, make friends, and feel like part of a real community. Epworth Towers is managed by Key Management Company and has staff on-site five days a week, plus 24-hour maintenance, and the building includes fire alarms, smoke detectors, and safety features that meet Section 8 requirements.
