HousingDepending upon a person's functional level, their financial resources and desire to live in a certain type of environment, there are a number of housing options for older adults. The spectrum ranges from living at home with the assistance of home care services, to subsidized housing, retirement communities, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes. For additional information on the various housing options, contact our Information & Referral Department, 413-781-8800. GSSSI Congregate Housing ProgramsCongregate housing is a shared living environment for individuals with physical limitations not requiring 24-hour supervision or medical care. It is ideal for people who no longer feel comfortable living alone but who still wish to be independent and have privacy. Tenants have their own private bedroom/sitting areas and share a large kitchen, dining room and living room. Supportive services may include homemaker, personal care and a shared meal program.The congregate housing facilities are owned by the local Housing Authority and sponsored by Greater Springfield Senior Services.
