The Villas at Copperleaf in Nixa, MO, is a senior living community that's part of the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program, which helps make rent more affordable for older adults who meet certain income and age requirements. The community sets rent based on about 30% of a resident's monthly income, and it asks for a non-refundable application fee, usually between $25 to $50. People interested in living here need to provide documents like a driver's license or state ID, Social Security Card, proof of income, bank statements, credit and personal references, and give consent for background and credit checks, so it's good to have those ready.
The Villas at Copperleaf calls itself a Fair Housing & Equal Opportunity Provider, making sure everyone has a fair chance to apply. It works like a Continuing Care Retirement Community and covers several care types, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so there's a bit of something for different needs. The apartments are made to be easy to get around in, with features like elevators, restricted entry, and private patios or balconies with extra storage, which is handy if someone likes to sit outside or keep a few odds and ends close by, and there are options for one or two bedrooms, each with a full kitchen and washer and dryer, which makes life a fair bit easier if folks want to do laundry at their own pace.
Maintenance is taken care of around the clock, and the staff are trained to help when needed. Some folks like the social center with its kitchen, the billiards room, and the outdoor picnic area with barbecue grills and tables, which get a fair bit of use when the weather's nice, so there are ways for neighbors to come together when they want. The fitness center with cardio equipment, along with planned activities, tries to keep everyone active, and you'll find things like Bingo and social gatherings to help people stay busy. The dining program aims for balanced and tasty meals, and many residents appreciate the friendly chefs and nutritious menus.

The Villas at Copperleaf encourages visits to meet the community manager and see things firsthand before applying, since that's often the best way to understand what daily life looks like here.
