About Penelope 60 Apartments
+
−
Penelope 60 Apartments is a HUD Section 202 apartment building at 810 South Merrifield Avenue in Mishawaka, 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 60 property.
This property functions strictly as an apartment community rather than a care community, and the staff on site supply no personal care services, medication assistance or nursing support. Residents maintain their own independent households inside private apartments, and any individual who requires hands on assistance must secure that support from an outside home care agency just as they would from a private residence. The service coordinator stationed at the property connects residents with outside resources instead of providing direct aid, which includes links to Medicare and Medicaid enrollment, home health agencies, meal delivery programs, transportation options and help with benefits paperwork. If a parent needs help bathing, dressing or managing medication today, this building is not it, but if a parent manages day to day and rent is the problem, this is exactly the kind of building to call about.
