About AHEPA 78 Phase 4
+
−
AHEPA 78 Phase 4 is a HUD Section 202 apartment building at 1950 West 79th Place in Merrillville, IN, for adults 62 and older whose household income falls under the HUD limit for the area. Rent at a Section 202 property is generally calculated at about 30 percent of the household's adjusted income, and waiting lists are common, so a family should ask about the list early. AHEPA is a Greek American fraternal order that has developed more than 90 HUD Section 202 properties since 1976, and this is its chapter 78 property.
This property functions as an apartment community and not a care community. Staff members do not provide personal care, assistance with medication, or nursing services. Residents live independently in their own apartments, and anyone who needs hands on help arranges it through a home care agency just as they would in a private house. An on site service coordinator arranges help by connecting residents to Medicare and Medicaid, home health agencies, meal delivery, transportation and benefits paperwork. If a parent needs help bathing, dressing or managing medication today, this building is not the right fit. If a parent manages day to day living and rent is the main concern, this is exactly the kind of building to call about.

−
What kind of housing is AHEPA 78 Phase 4? + −

Residents who are 62 or older live independently in their own apartments and handle their own daily routines. The property does not offer personal care or any hands on assistance to residents. Families should understand that this is housing only and not a care setting of any kind.
Who is eligible to live at AHEPA 78 Phase 4? + −
To live at AHEPA 78 Phase 4 a person must be age 62 or older. HUD income limits for the area apply to all applicants. Rent is generally about 30 percent of the household adjusted income. This setup makes the housing affordable for those who qualify. Waiting lists are common at Section 202 properties. Families may need to apply early and check back often for availability.
Does AHEPA 78 Phase 4 provide personal care, nursing or memory care? + −
AHEPA 78 Phase 4 does not provide personal care, nursing or memory care. The building offers housing only. A resident who needs hands on help arranges it privately through a home care agency or looks at a different kind of community. No staff at the property assist with bathing, dressing, medication or similar tasks. Families must seek those services elsewhere if needed.
What does the service coordinator do? + −
The service coordinator at AHEPA 78 Phase 4 connects residents to outside services such as Medicare and Medicaid help, home health agencies, meal delivery, transportation and benefits paperwork. The coordinator arranges help and does not deliver care. This role supports residents in finding resources but the building itself has no caregivers on staff for daily living needs.
What does rent cost at AHEPA 78 Phase 4? + −
Rent at a HUD Section 202 property is set at roughly 30 percent of the household's adjusted monthly income, not at a fixed market rate, so the amount is different for every household. The building's management office can confirm the current HUD income limit for the area and what a specific household would pay. Because waiting lists are common, a family should call before the apartment is needed.
