Bicentennial Apartments
Bicentennial Apartments
Bicentennial Apartments is an independent living community in the Melrose Addition neighborhood of Aberdeen, South Dakota. The community focuses on affordable senior housing, serving older adults in low income households who want to keep living on their own terms. Residents live in private rooms within a single story building, a layout that removes stairs from daily routines and tends to suit people who want their living space on one level.
Day to day life is supported rather than supervised here. Transportation services help residents get to appointments, errands, and social outings, and support with cooking and cleaning takes the heaviest chores off residents’ plates. Fitness and recreation offerings give residents ways to stay active and spend time with neighbors. Practical touches like elevators and on site mail delivery keep the building easy to move through.
Safety is built into the property, with fire alarms and smoke detectors throughout. The community is non smoking and maintains a no pet policy, which is worth knowing early for families weighing where a loved one will settle.
The location works well for families in and around Aberdeen. The community sits about two miles from the city center and roughly a mile from Avera St. Luke’s Hospital, which makes medical appointments and hospital visits a short trip. Its walk score of 31 out of 100 places it in a quieter residential pocket where a few errands are reachable on foot and most trips call for a ride, which is where the community transportation service earns its keep.
