• Confirmation Letter is mailed out with an estimated wait time
• The waiting period varies between locations
• You will be notified about a vacancy when your application moves to the top of the waiting list
• If you are not ready to move at this time, you may remain on the list however, you name would go back to the bottom of the list

Can I tour the complex/apartment?

Yes, you may visit the complex. Unfortunately we do not show the apartments until one is vacant. If you know someone at the complex, perhaps they would be happy to have you visit them.

Are there community activities?

Yes, there are certain annual events such as a fall foliage outing, a summer boat trip, picnics and holiday dinners.

Are services available?

We do not provide any services such as provision of meals, nursing staff, cleaning or shopping services, or any type of personal care. Rather, an individual must be able to uphold the terms of our lease agreement and if they themselves cannot, they must demonstrate how they plan to uphold the terms of the lease prior to admission. No otherwise qualified individual with handicaps shall, solely by reason of the handicap, be excluded from the participation in or be denied the benefits of the program or be subject to discrimination.

The Owner/Manager will not refuse to make reasonable accommodations, which do not impose an undue hardship on the owner/manager, in rules, policies, practices or services, when such accommodations may be necessary to afford an individual with handicaps equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling unit, including public and common use areas. We do not discriminate on the basis of handicapped status in the admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, our federally assisted programs and activities.
