How Can You Become a Resident in a Senior Apartment?
These homes are age-restricted, with a minimum age requirement for residents. Each apartment listing provides details on age requirements. In some cases, the applicant’s health condition is also considered. When applying for ARA housing, information about personal assets must be included. Additional details required for each apartment are listed in their individual descriptions.
You can apply by filling out a housing application on the YH Homes website, where you can include all properties you’re interested in. You can also apply at their office during opening hours or submit a printed application. YH Homes will contact you when a suitable apartment becomes available.
The housing application and offer are non-binding, and you can make your final decision after visiting the apartment.
