SEASONS at Compton features 84 one- and two-bedroom apartments that will serve a blend of limited-income seniors, seniors with developmental disabilities, or seniors who care for dependents with developmental disabilities — one of the few examples of integrating these underserved populations. It is a thoughtful, cutting-edge community with stand-out features to meet their unique needs.

Both populations have a lack of access to clean and safe housing, as they typically cannot afford to live in communities such as what SEASONS will provide. Due to their reliance on Social Security payments, their income forces them to live in neighborhoods that are often dangerous and where specialized programming that these populations require is simply not offered. The Association of Regional Center Agencies estimates that up to 31,000 Californians with developmental disabilities need safe, affordable housing.

SEASONS at Compton will provide both the privacy and independence of an apartment for developmentally disabled adults as well as the group support of their senior neighbors, LINC staff, and professional on-site case managers. Senior residents and developmentally disabled head of households will have a wonderful community that will help them to continue living independently and provide a sense of security and wellbeing.

Universal and Sustainable Design principles have been incorporated throughout the community to provide a beautiful, highly functional environment, while emphasizing energy efficiency, use of natural light and ventilation, and small carbon footprint. The building is certified LEED Platinum. Universal Design ensures accessibility and includes wider doorways and hallways, adjustable height counters, lower light switches, ramps, and elevators.
