The Amherst Towne Senior Apartments at Weinberg Campus provides affordable housing for independent seniors. Subsidized by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Amherst Towne Senior Apartments are for seniors age 62 and over who meet federally mandated income guidelines. The facility is unique due to the affordability options provided by HUD and the services offered by Weinberg Campus. By looking to the future for the tenants, Weinberg Campus has taken a proactive approach to the aging process. Amherst Towne has fifty one-bedroom apartments that include a full kitchen with appliances, emergency call buttons, and skid-free carpeting. In addition to the standard requirements, Weinberg Campus added extra features such as wider doorways, walk-in showers, and detachable shower heads, as well as extra grab bars and roll-under sinks in the bathroom. Other amenities include wide halls, two community rooms, indoor mailboxes and trash room, library with a fire place, housekeeping, and heated sidewalks. A security guard is available during off hours.

Tenants may take advantage of the organization’s TOTAL Aging in Place Program which is based at the building next door. TOTAL is a Medicaid managed long-term care program that provides health care services and socialization opportunities. Individual assessments are made and services are based on the tenant’s needs. Tenants of Amherst Towne Senior Apartments who meet the Medicaid requirements and criteria for the TOTAL program can receive the care they need and still enjoy their independence as they age.

Amherst Towne Senior Apartments is one of eight specialized, best-in-class senior environments. By overlapping a wide range of complementary programs and services, tenants and residents continue to enjoy the fullest choices for their changing needs.
