Hilltop House is an affordable apartment building in Barberton, Ohio, at 303 E Tuscarawas Ave. It is owned and managed by the Akron Metropolitan Housing Authority. The building was built in 1968 and has 77 units. It is a Section 8 project-based home for older adults and people with disabilities, as HUD assigned it an elderly/disabled group. Rent help stays with the building, not with the tenant, because AMHA has a contract with HUD that pays the part of the rent the resident does not pay. One apartment is used as a community room and office. People who need language help can get free interpreter services, in person or by phone, to apply or to talk with AMHA staff. Applications are handled through AMHA's office at 100 West Cedar Street in Akron.

How much does independent living cost?
There is no single price for independent living. Rent is set by each community and varies a lot by city. The cost survey this site uses does not publish a national median for independent living, so we do not print one. Medicare does not pay for it, so families pay the rent out of pocket. See our guide to independent living costs and who pays for the full picture.
Does Medicare pay for independent living?
No. Medicare does not pay rent or housing costs. It pays for your medical care while you live there, like doctor visits, hospital care, and home health visits. The housing itself is paid out of pocket.
What is the difference between independent living and assisted living?
Independent living is housing for older adults who can live on their own. It gives a private home, meals in some places, and social activities. It does not include help with daily tasks. Assisted living adds that help. Staff help with bathing, dressing, and medicine, and staff are on hand day and night.
Who else pays for independent living besides Medicare?
Families pay the rent out of pocket. No insurance pays for independent living rent. Low-income senior apartments funded by HUD keep rent lower for people who qualify. Some veterans put VA pension payments toward the rent.
