Residents pay 30% of their annual adjusted income and all utilities are included. The Columbus Colony Housing buildings are attached allowing the residents to have access to both sides. The buildings have laundry rooms, library, craft room, dining room, interpreters, strobe light system, and vans for weekly trips to the store and field trips. Across the private drive is Columbus Colony Elderly Care, a skilled care nursing home, which was opened in 1979 with 100 beds and 50 more beds were added in 1995. Elderly Care accepts Medicare and Medicaid, and both Housing and Elderly Care have a deaf social worker/service coordinator and all staff members are required to learn sign language.
