Bi-Centennial Apartment sits at 1212 S Lawson St in Aberdeen, SD, and gives seniors affordable independent living with a relaxed pace, so folks who want their own space with a little help if they need it can feel comfortable here. The apartments have roomy layouts, plenty of natural light, modern kitchens, in-unit laundry, and private balconies or patios for some fresh air. Elevators help with easy multi-floor access, and there's covered parking if you've still got a car, while fire alarms and smoke detectors help with safety throughout the building, which follows a strict non-smoking policy for everyone's health. The whole place is pet-friendly, so you can keep your furry companion close by, and 24-hour emergency maintenance means problems get fixed when they come up.
Residents can use the fitness center, swim in the outdoor pool, and gather in the community clubhouse for activities, games, or just to visit. Mail comes right to the building. There's at least one accessible unit and elevators make everything easier to reach. Folks pay rent based on income, usually about 30% of what comes in each month, following the rules of the Section 8 (202) program, so it's meant for very low-income elderly people needing steady housing with some help. There's independent living for healthy retirees, and home aides give assistance with daily chores or transportation if you can't get out on your own. Transportation services are available, and you can join in different social and educational programs right at home.
The facility offers a wide range of extra supports too, including personal care services, respite services through state programs, adult day care, home-delivered meals from the Older Americans Act, and rehabilitation services. They accept Medicaid and Medicaid-related programs and participate in the South Dakota Elderly Services Program, and more. Some who move here might also use continuing care retirement options, hospice care, nursing, memory care, or assisted living from the Bi-Centennial network if health needs change. Apartments are designed for easy living with a maintenance-free style, and you can personalize your space if you want. Residents can enjoy local Aberdeen events and entertainment if they like to get out. The community is peaceful with social activities, but folks can keep to themselves too if that's their preference. The staff is fully trained to offer help when needed, so people stay as independent as they can for as long as possible while enjoying their days in a safe, friendly setting.
