Tours provided during open house event

People Inc. Pine Senior Living will host an open house on Tuesday, November 14, from noon to 5 p.m., at 6231 Tonawanda Creek North, Lockport. Seniors and family members who may be interested in affordable senior housing are encouraged to attend. Tours of the apartments will be provided, which are for independent seniors age 62 and over who are income eligible.

Two benefits of People Inc. Pine Senior Living are the affordability and safety features. Monthly rent is based on the tenant’s and/or couple’s adjusted income. As an added cost savings, some utilities are included. The one-bedroom apartments include a kitchen with appliances. For added safety, there is a day-time manager and a live-in caretaker for building emergencies. Safety features include stove fire prevention devices, grab bars in the bathroom, emergency pull-cords and a secure entrance. The apartment building includes a furnished community room, laundry facilities and a 24-hour response system.

Tenants are welcome to have one small pet. Service coordinators are available to provide tenants assistance to supports and services at no extra charge. Group transportation to grocery stores is provided. For tenants who like to socialize, there are a variety of social events and community outings held throughout the year.

Additionally, a presentation will be made at the open house event by Pets in Peaceful Rest, a family-owned-and-operated pet memorial and cremation center, offering pet loss services, special pet tribute products and grief support materials.

Event attendees will have a chance to win a $25 gift card to the Fieldstone Country Inn Restaurant in Lockport. The event is free; registration encouraged. For more information, call 716-433-3381.
