Edwards Place

Edwards Place is a senior housing apartment community in Fayetteville, NC, serving adults age 62 and older, and you'll find it's government-subsidized so rent is income-based, usually set at about 30% of adjusted gross income, and the apartments accept HUD subsidies for those who qualify, plus you can check current rates online or contact the apartments directly to get yourself on the waiting list, which can be long and sometimes takes years to get an opening because there are separate units for different income levels at 30%, 50%, and 80% of the Area Median Income, so you'll want to ask about qualifications and available floor plans when you call. The apartments are one-bedroom, some designed to be accessible for those who have mobility needs, and all of them are non-smoking, with fire alarms, smoke detectors, and elevators when you're in a multi-story building, and there's supportive housing for the elderly and project-based rental assistance to help keep things affordable for older adults who want to live on their own but might need a bit of help. Edwards Place supports independent living within a safe senior community where staff tries to be helpful and joyful, creating a friendly atmosphere, and if you want to keep active, you'll have access to nearby restaurants with different kinds of food, two doctors close by, two pharmacies, and a café where you can eat something simple whenever you like. The property includes mail delivery on site, and the whole idea is to help seniors keep their independence while making life easier, but if someone needs other types of care, there are assisted living, memory care, home care, hospice care, respite care, and even nursing home and rehabilitation services, so it's possible to stay at Edwards Place as needs change over time. Residents get nutritious meals prepared by chefs and meal planners who work to include vitamins and minerals, making sure what's served is healthy and tastes good too, and staff is trained to support with daily activities like bathing, dressing, or medication if that's needed, without making anyone give up their independence. If you need help or don't know where to start, there are expert senior living advisors who'll talk through options for free and give personalized advice. Edwards Place got recognition as a best-of award winner for care, support, activities, and friendliness, and it's been verified for occupancy by Colleen Carter and Ric Gresia in 2019, standing out as a practical choice for affordable senior housing aimed at people who want a social, laid-back lifestyle without a lot of fuss, and that's really what matters for many folks looking for a steady place to live as they get older.
