Apache ASL Trails Apartments is the premier community for deaf seniors in the nation. Situated along the light rail line, the 75-unit, tax-credit, transit-oriented housing project creates a barrier-free community for deaf seniors. The development incorporates state-of-the-art technology for its deaf residents and the operating staff all use American Sign Language (ASL). All community spaces and units minimize visual barriers with open floor plans, glass facades and clear sight lines. Wide hallways and automatic entrance doors allow for improved communication and mobility, while specific lighting and paint colors are easier on the eyes. The project also includes a small medical clinic on the southwest corner of the facility, a community room, kitchen, gym and salon.
