Morris Glen

Morris Glen sits in Alexandria, VA, as a senior apartment community run by Quantum Real Estate Management, LLC., and this place is meant for people who are aged 62 and older with low-to-moderate income who want independent living without too much fuss, where the rent includes all utilities, and they accept Section-8 Vouchers as well as Catholic for Housing subsidies, and you'll find 60 one-bedroom apartments that let in plenty of light with views of the city skyline. Dogs can live here if they weigh between 21 and 30 pounds, and cats are welcome too, but smoking's only allowed outdoors so you won't ever find it in the private or public indoor areas. The community provides both indoor and outdoor common areas, plus a rooftop lounge and community building where activities happen, like daily card games, bingo two times a month, and trips to Walmart and grocery stores twice monthly, all to help residents be active and social as they please, and whenever someone needs it, there are emergency pull cords in place. Meals come prepared with an aim for good nutrition, and people have said the staff stay friendly and helpful, keeping the atmosphere welcoming and kind. There's resident parking, plus transportation, and plenty of support for those who want to keep living on their own but need a helping hand sometimes, with nurses, doctors, and a dentist on call, as well as therapy services like physical, occupational, speech, and even podiatrist visits. There's health care on-site, and Morris Glen allows both men and women to make this place their home, with a focus on bringing people together through programs in a big community space set up for everyone's interest. The facility also links people to a large directory of resources-VirginiaNavigator, SeniorNavigator, disAbilityNavigator, VeteransNavigator, and Lindsay Institute-that cover help for seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities, connecting them with over 26,000 local and national programs for health, caregiving, housing, transportation, and more. Residents can use modern features, landscaped grounds, and spacious floor plans with amenities chosen for comfort and ease, which fits well for seniors who want to enjoy their community, keep their pets, and have support as needed, with the reported price at $726 a month.
