About

Senior Community Centers in downtown San Diego's East Village anchors the Potiker Family Senior Residence at 525 14th Street, a 200-unit studio apartment complex built in 2003 for low-income seniors aged 62 and older. The residence provides on-site congregate dining, a computer lab, and community programming that connects residents to the broader senior-care network, including assisted-living options like Westminster Manor in Bankers Hill. Named one of the nation's five best-practice models by the Shelter Partnership, the Potiker Residence serves seniors who have experienced financial instability, transiency, or homelessness — providing the structured environment needed to maintain long-term housing stability. On-site support includes case management, socialization activities, and health-education workshops designed to reduce isolation among a population where social disconnection is a primary risk factor for hospital readmission. The residence's proximity to downtown trolley and bus routes ensures mobility access for residents who rely on public transit to reach medical appointments, social services, and community resources such as HarborView Senior Assisted Living nearby. The most intensive service component is the integrated case-management model, which coordinates benefits enrollment, behavioral-health referrals, and housing-retention support to keep at-risk seniors stably housed within the building.
