Eaton Senior Communities Foundation

Currently, Eaton provides affordable housing plus services for 228 adults over the age of 62 in two buildings. In the HUD-subsidized building (restricted at 80% of the area median income), the average age of a resident is 75 years old with an average income of $19, 287 per year. In the market rate building, the average age of a resident is 71 with an average income of $22,227 per year. Eaton collects residents’ financial information upon move-in to certify financial eligibility to live in the community. Approximately 73% of the residents are women. 95% of the residents live alone. Approximately 8% of residents are Veterans. A recent report from the Resident Services Coordinator shows that 52 of Eaton's residents need assistance with one or two Activities of Daily Living (ADLs such as eating, bathing, transferring, home management, etc.) and are considered "at-risk." Eight residents need assistance with more than two ADLs. These residents are closely monitored by Eaton’s Community Consultation Team who coordinate services that empower residents to age in place.

Eaton’s team of a resident service coordinator and wellness director allow for direct connection with the residents, through a voluntary interview tool that is conducted upon move-in and annually thereafter. This tool, REACH (Residents Engaging in Authentic Conversations on Health), is an avenue for getting to know the residents health and wellness needs, which in turn, assists us in developing community partnerships to bring on-site to meet those needs.
