Sunnyside Apartments sits out on Buzzell Road in Wells, Maine, and is a place for seniors who want affordable, safe, and comfortable apartments, and you'll find both one-bedroom and two-bedroom homes there, with garden-style walk-up buildings spread across the community, which keeps things feeling friendly and quiet. Folks here often come because Sunnyside has naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH) units, and others might come for the subsidized units where the rent gets lowered, sometimes with the help of government funds or project-based rental assistance, and a lot of tenants pay rent based on 30% of their adjusted gross income when they qualify for HUD support. The building accepts Section 8 vouchers and a few other voucher programs, so you don't have to worry if you're using those. There's low income housing for seniors (aged 62 and up) and the management tries to help by lowering rents when someone's income is low, but like a lot of places, there's a waiting list, and sometimes folks are on it for years before they can move in.
The apartments have some nice features for seniors and people with disabilities, like accessible design choices, private entrances, smoke-free spaces, and wall-to-wall carpeting for comfort, and you'll find community rooms for get-togethers and on-site laundry so no one has to lug baskets too far. All utilities are included, which is good for folks watching their monthly bills, and there's on-site parking and 24-hour emergency maintenance if something ever goes wrong. Sunnyside offers a suburban atmosphere, which means it's peaceful, but you're still close enough to medical care, local shops, and other support.
The staff are known as helpful, joyful, and kind, and the management keeps contact information listed to make sure residents can always get questions answered or services arranged, including partnerships with local florists who know how to handle flower deliveries for medical occasions. Sunnyside is a community that works hard to engage its people, winning awards for activities that help everyone stay active, connected, and emotionally well, with nicely prepared, tasty meals focused on proper vitamins and minerals-even the chefs and meal planners get mentioned by name. Seniors get individualized health services from qualified professionals, whether it's basic companionship or more medical care for things like Alzheimer's or other forms of memory loss, and there are independent living, assisted living, and memory care choices all in the same place. Some apartments can even accommodate a live-in caregiver for people who need help with daily activities.
The property is managed by Avesta Housing Management Corporation and offers plenty of support for folks living on a fixed income. There's a mix of online tools, too, so future residents or families can look at floor plans, rates, and photos before they make a decision, and while rent rates can change and sometimes there are specials or discounts, every apartment tries to stay affordable. The community uses its own terms to describe certain rooms and care, and its features and services are mainly simple but designed for the needs of older adults and those with disabilities. Sunnyside Apartments has always focused on comfort, good food, safety, and a pleasant sense of togetherness, where neighbors look out for each other, and the place feels like home, even if it's a no-frills sort of place with more function than flash.
