Maple Ridge Apartments sits at 900 Johnson Ridge Rd in Elkin, North Carolina, right in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the place has been around since 1994, serving the needs of people aged 55 and over. The building has 38 apartments set aside for seniors with limited income, and since it's a Low Income Housing Tax Credit property, rent usually comes out to about 30% of your adjusted monthly income, so it stays affordable for folks on tighter budgets, and the application process requires things like a government ID, Social Security Card, proof of income, bank statements, credit references, and personal references, and there's a small application fee paid by money order, and property managers often help answer questions in person if you have any. Residents in these senior apartments get to enjoy a peaceful place that looks out over the Yadkin River and the surrounding foothills, and the grounds have walking areas if you like to get out and enjoy the fresh air, and there's space for folks who want to visit local wineries, since the area is known for them.
The community offers a range of care, with independent living for active seniors, assisted living for those who need a hand with daily activities, and memory care for people facing memory loss, and nursing home services and home care are available for those who need extra support. Maple Ridge provides both safety and comfort, as there are security features built in and residents know staff are there to help when needed. They allow cats and dogs, so people don't have to give up their pets, and there's a beauty salon right onsite, so it's easy to keep up self-care routines.
Activities here include art classes and devotional services offered on the property, folks get involved in trips and outings, and guest meals mean family can join residents for dinner. There's also respite care for people who need a short stay, and the fitness center, community pool, and activity areas offer more ways for residents to stay busy and connected. Staff tailor services to what each person needs, aiming to foster a supportive, calm environment where everyone can feel like they belong, and community advisors and reviews from residents and families both point out that people generally appreciate the quality care and sense of community. At Maple Ridge, affordable rents, access to help, and a friendly setting come together, and that's the main thing.
