Arlington VOA Assisted-Living
2000 South 5th Street
$4,825,000.00

The Arlington VOA ALCP application proposes to convert an unused/underutilized commercial facility into a fully handicapped accessible 52-unit assisted living facility. The renovation of this property will provide emergency response systems including 24 hour a day on-site staff to respond to the residents' needs, at least one cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certified staff member and emergency pull cords in all bedrooms and bathrooms. Other features to ensure the residents' safety against fire include duct smoke detectors and a sprinkler system.

The Arlington VOA Supportive Services Plan (SSP) includes provisions for three meals and two snacks per day based on individual dietary needs, house keeping, personal care services, counseling services, social activities and the administration of medication under the general supervision of a nurse. The SSP documents financial support from the Department of Human Services to provide an auxiliary grant to enable the residents to pay the established assisted living facility rate. It is anticipated that all of the residents will qualify for this grant funding. DHS also provided a written commitment to provide $880,914, should the Arlington VOA successfully compete for the Fiscal Year 2005 ALCP funds.
