Affordable housing developers focus on making space for seniors in Southern Nevada
Las Vegas Weekly:
A 71-year-old retiree, Catherine Singer can’t say enough good things about her home at Capriccio Senior Apartments. It’s a little slice of post-work paradise.
The grounds are something straight out of a resort-style villa, all open floor plans and lush lawns. The resident services coordinator who orchestrates fun activities for tenants onsite is “fantastic.” The shuttle that pops in every Monday to transport residents to do their shopping is invaluable. And the food that’s delivered to her doorstep by Three Square’s Golden Groceries program is a major bonus.
“It’s way better than living in a regular apartment, or a home,” says Singer, a Las Vegan for more than 20 years. “It’s a totally different environment.”
It’s also a far cry from her previous condo, where she forked over extra money every month to cover utilities on top of rent. At the Ovation-owned Capriccio, electricity, water and trash are included expenses, and that alone has been a godsend for Singer, who’s on a fixed income.
