Is rent based on income?
Some MD of MINBURN FOUNDATION housing is offered on a rent-geared-to-income basis. Rental rates and eligibility vary depending on the housing program and property. The MD of MINBURN FOUNDATION can explain the current rates, available subsidies and eligibility requirements when you apply.
Is It the Right Time?
Many seniors and families wonder when the right time is to make the move to a senior living community. While everyone's situation is different, the transition is often easier and more enjoyable when it's made proactively rather than during a crisis. If maintaining a home feels overwhelming, daily chores are becoming more difficult, or you're looking for greater peace of mind, social opportunities, and convenient access to support services, it may be the right time to explore your options.
