EngAGE is always interested in learning about housing options for seniors in other parts of the country. Here are three stories from Massachusetts that we think you’ll find interesting, too:
Amesbury Housing Authority’s Heritage Towers is part of a “supportive housing program” in Amesbury.
The next two stories both involve converting a school into senior residences. Pleasant Street School in Ayer is a “$6 million transformation of the historic vacant school house into one of a handful of facilities in Massachusetts geared specifically to allow seniors to ‘age in place’ as an alternative to nursing home residency.” In Lee, Crossway Tower is a 13-unit annex of affordable one-bedroom apartments. The new facility joins Crossway Village, which consists of 38 one-bedroom apartments that were created five years ago in the other two-thirds of the High Street building. “This is a shining example of what senior housing could and should be,” Elder Services Executive Director Robert Dean said.
