Who can live here
Who can live at The Wren?
The Wren is a 55+ community. At least one resident of each home must be 55 or older.
Read more: Who can live at The Wren?Can someone younger than 55 live with me?
Yes, as long as one resident of your home is 55 or older.
How do you check age?
When you apply, the resident who is 55 or older shows a photo ID with their date of birth. We update our records every two years, as federal rules for 55+ communities require.
Services and amenities
Is there care or medical staff on site?
No. The Wren is apartments for rent, and the rent doesn't include meals, care or medical staff. You're welcome to bring in your own home-care provider, and housekeeping is available by the visit.
How is The Wren different from senior living?
Senior living and independent living communities usually include meals and services in one monthly fee. At The Wren you rent an apartment on an ordinary lease and choose what else you want.
Who plans the events?
Marcus, our lifestyle director, plans the calendar with residents: clubs, classes, outings and dinners. Most are free; an outing's cost is on the calendar.
