Welcome to WoodCrest Retirement Residence,
offering seniors affordable and comfortable living in a GREEN Building.

What is a GREEN Building?
A Green building is friendly to the environment and healthy for the occupants. There is a high degree of care put into the selection of materials and mechanical systems. The building operates so that there is always fresh air even in the winter months introduced into the building. In addition materials are selected to be low VOC. VOC stands for volatile organic compounds. Materials like carpeting, resilient flooring, glue, foam furniture, paints and other finishes, can contain VOC's that off-gas, polluting the air inside buildings. WoodCrest has a very low level of VOC's making it easier for seniors to breathe.

Each apartment includes a complete kitchen, and full bath plus dining/living room, and one or two bedrooms. The building was designed with the needs of seniors in mind. It has extra-wide doors, handy cabinet heights, convenience bars in the bath areas, emergency pull-cords in each bedroom and bath, yet its design and interiors are fashioned with the comforts of home.

AFFORDABILITY

Our plan for senor living includes a vision that our residents should be provided the opportunity to age in place with dignity in pleasant, comfortable surroundings. The ingenuity of our Development team working in cooperation with government agencies and investors make this type of living possible and affordable.

Rents are substantially lower than comparable market rate communities due to the provisions of the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program. In addition, these affordable rents include all utilities. The only additional monthly payments you will have related to housing are for telephone and cable.


LEASING

The first step to making your home in one of our communities "more than just a place to live" is to fill out a leasing application. We know that the process can be confusing. That is why our experienced staff is ready to help you understand and navigate the application and leasing process with confidence.

Our properties are extremely popular. There is often a waiting list, so it is important to get your application on the list as quickly as possible.

Our staff will be happy to take you on a tour of the building. Call to schedule an appointment and get an application.
