Calvary Center Apartments sits in Golden Valley, MN, and offers independent living for older adults and disabled persons, mostly for folks 62 or over or those with qualifying disabilities, and there are income-based options like Section 8 housing so rent can be based on 30% of income for those who qualify, plus water, sewer, heat, and trash are all included, which makes it a bit easier on the budget. The complex has 80 one-bedroom units, including eight barrier-free apartments for people who need accessible features, and every apartment has window coverings, large closets, carpeting, a refrigerator, efficient appliances, air conditioning, and either a patio or balcony. The complex sits by a golf course so there are pleasant views.
Calvary Center Apartments has a lot of practical things that might matter to seniors, things like an on-site laundry, community room, sundeck, courtyard, bike racks, a library, and even a business center, while for safety there's controlled access and an elevator for those who have trouble with stairs. The property has on-site management from Ebenezer, a company known for working with seniors, and there's an on-site caretaker and maintenance technician, plus a Resident Service Coordinator to help with daily needs, questions, or special resources.
Dining options and basic services, parking, and laundry services are all available if you call for more details. Residents can get one or two prepared meals a day if they want, and there's an on-site meal program. The community runs activities most weeks, things like bingo, coffee times, yoga, exercise classes, card nights, and potlucks for holidays or special events, which gives folks some chances to get together and socialize in a relaxed way. There's a van service running three times a week to certain places, as well as a grocery program for those who'd like help shopping, and medical or other transportation can be set up since the building's close to the MTC bus line and other services.
For those living with dementia, there are activity programs designed to meet their needs, and the community contracts with hospice agencies if comfort care is needed at the end of life. Support is also available with things like personal care, medication reminders, and therapies like physical, occupational, or speech therapy when needed.
Pets are allowed, though there's a limit of two and dogs must be 35 pounds or less, and there's a pet deposit required. There's a common area housekeeper and an on-site Resident Council so people have a say in what happens at the property, and routine things like housekeeping and laundry are offered or available on request. Residents also get a newsletter to keep them updated on what's happening.
All units are designed with seniors and people with disabilities in mind, including wheelchair accessible layouts, and controlled entry keeps the community safe. There's a beauty salon located next door for convenience, exercise and tub rooms for people who like to keep active, and a community room with a flat screen TV for more relaxed gatherings. The atmosphere here is cooperative and community-focused-people usually find the residents friendly and the environment comfortable if they want to keep a social life going as they age.
Anyone interested can view available apartments during the week, with more about amenities, floor plans, and some photos on the website. Calvary Center Apartments aims to offer comfort, connection, and convenience, while supporting senior independence and needs for a wide variety of living situations.
