Washington Square Apartments

Washington Square Apartments is a senior living community in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, and you'll find it at 2060 5th Street right there in the Suburban Twin Cities area, and the place has been around since 1978 with a total of 81 units-some are one-bedroom and others are two-bedroom with one bathroom, and the community covers about 54,810 square feet, which means there's some room to stretch out but it's not overwhelming and you get elevators too along with accessible units for residents who might need a little help getting around, plus the homes and common areas are non-smoking which helps a lot of folks breathe easier. The apartments base rent on your income, usually about 30 percent of your adjusted monthly earnings, since it sits under the HUD Section 8 (202) program, so this can be a relief for people looking for affordable, decent housing. Besides a welcoming place to live, Washington Square Apartments aims to support seniors with assisted living options when they need help with things like bathing, dressing, or keeping track of medicine, and there's also memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, with features meant to reduce confusion and keep everyone safe, like smoke detectors and fire alarms in all the right spots. The community handles independent living too for seniors who can do most things on their own but want the ease of meals and property upkeep, and there's even on-site mail delivery plus a meal program with food prepared by chefs and planners, which takes the daily worry off meal prep, though the exact menu details aren't listed here. The staff are known for being helpful and cheerful, and the place has gotten awards like Best of Senior Living and Most Friendly, which tells you people feel good living there or sending a loved one. Residents join activities that keep them moving, thinking, and interacting, which supports physical, mental, and emotional health, and you can find more senior facilities and resources nearby if you ever need to compare or move again.
