Senior Housing <br />The aging population is expected to increase demand for smaller, low maintenance housing in the community. This assumed trend is supported <br />by the level of interest recently shown by developers to construct townhomes geared for seniors and empty -nesters. Several recent projects <br />have included the construction of units with single -level floor plans with grounds and buildings that have some level of maintenance provided by <br />a common association. These households have proven popular with empty -nesters and young independent seniors. Additionally, the City has <br />received proposals for larger retirement communities designed and marketed with products and amenities geared for residents over the age of <br />55. Table 4-4 - Senior Living Facilities in Hugo shows the type, units, and public subsidy available in Hugo. <br />The City is expecting the demand for all types of senior housing to continue to increase. Much of the demand for senior housing will be for those <br />who are disabled or require services. Such facilities are generally high density but often fit well into lower density neighborhoods. Facilities of this <br />type that provide some level of services to the residents should be allowed in lower density residential categories as shown on the land use plan, <br />or should be blended into more diverse housing developments. <br />Table 4-4 Senior Facilities in Hugo <br />Keystone Place at Lavalle Fields <br />Muller Manor Apartments <br />Independent Living, Memory Care, <br />Assisted Living <br />Independent Living <br />100 0 <br />Suite Living Memory Care and Assisted Living 24 <br />*Many seniors receive public assistance through the Elderly Waiver and Alternative Care Program. <br />Section 8 <br />Assistance <br />0 <br />Keystone Senior <br />Washington County <br />Redevelopment Authority <br />Bickford Senior Living <br />HUGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE HOUSING 93 <br />
