Dogwood Manor sits in a quiet part of Fayetteville, NC, as a Low Income Senior Apartment community with a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Community designation, so you get affordable rents, usually about 30% of a person's monthly income, and the place fits seniors with limited incomes who meet their age and income rules. The apartments come with one or two bedrooms, one bathroom, and useful features like washer and dryer hookups, ranges, refrigerators, heating and cooling, window coverings, and carpet or vinyl floors, plus patios or balconies if you like sitting outside. The grounds keep a calming and friendly feeling with tree-lined streets, nice landscaping, picnic spots, and walking paths, and there's a bus stop with route signs, a covered shelter, and lots of nearby sidewalks to get around or go see a doctor since there are two physicians close by for medical visits.
The management works to stay responsive and upholds fair housing and equal opportunity, but sometimes if talking to management is tough, it helps to visit in person to get your questions straight. They'll want you to bring paperwork like your driver's license, social security card, proof of income, bank paperwork, and some references, and they likely run background and credit checks during the application process, which comes with a $25-$50 non-refundable fee paid by money order only. Renters get trash and pest services on site, covered laundry rooms, a salon, spacious community areas for socializing, and a room for events and meetings.
Dogwood Manor organizes regular social and activity programs aimed at helping people meet neighbors and stay active, and the staff has even earned awards for being warm, helpful, and joyful, with special recognition for keeping a high standard in care and in planning activities that keep residents engaged socially, mentally, physically, and emotionally. The team, made up of caregivers and on-site managers, gives as much individual attention as possible-covering independent living options for those who get around on their own, care home services with live-in helpers for people who need help with bathing or dressing, assisted living for those who want support with daily living needs like medicine and meals, and skilled nursing and memory care so folks with dementia or serious health issues can have care, security, and comfort in a safe spot that helps prevent confusion or wandering. Meals planned by chefs and nutritionists aim to provide nourishing, balanced dishes each day. The building's got a secure entry system, smoke alarms, salon for hair care, and nicely kept grounds for sitting, walking, and getting to know others. The staff aims to help everyone hold onto their independence as much as possible, and they focus on building a sense of belonging, with options for quiet living or joining group activities in a peaceful, hometown setting.
