There’s no buy in at Willow Lane, just a monthly fee, which covers housekeeping, linens, meals and assistance from a nurse or nurse’s aide when needed.
“We offer Life Enrichment Programs, which is more than just recreational activities. We promote having fun, learning, maintaining skills, exercise and movement, reminiscing, going on outings and trips in the Lehigh Val- ley, experiencing new things and intergenera- tional programing. We want our residents to gain their independence and have fun doing it,” says Jennifer Swinsburg, a spokesperson for The Village at Willow Lane.
PUBLIC HOUSING
Many independent seniors downsize into public housing for the elderly. Apartments are small and it’s a challenge to get rid of a lifetime of possessions but it’s a good move for people still driving and active in the community.
The Lehigh County Housing Authority op- erates the apartment building at 333 Ridge Street in Emmaus. The 75 one-bedroom units were built in 1983 for individuals 62 or older, or disabled. Preference is given to Le- high County residents but anyone can go on the waiting list.
The only charges are 30 percent of income for rent and utilities, which is very doable for someone with Social Security as their only source of income. There is a community room for parties and bingo, and a social and activity calendar maintained by the Lehigh County Offi ce of Aging.
Over at 635 Broad Street in Emmaus are Sec- tion 8 subsidized apartments for seniors. A fl at fee of $560 is charged, with residents pay- ing their own utilities. There are 87 units and a short six-month waiting list.
As Mitch Huston, a spokesperson at Luther Crest, said, “It’s all about the socializa- tion.”
Whatever choice they make, being
around people every day and participating in meaningful activities is key to enhancing senior’s lives.
