Kavod Senior Living is a residence for low-income seniors and people with disabilities, which is supported by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Most of its 400 residents receive rental assistance and are on Medicaid and/or Medicare programs. These individuals are able to be independent because of the many services provided to them, such as dinners, housekeeping, safety measures and more. Everyone is assigned a social worker. There are activities, including outings, organized by a trip director, and on-site health services.
