Here are some of the criteria: is it wheelchair accessible? Can an 
ambulance crew navigate it? Can the tenant get easy access to the myriad 
assistance he/she needs?

I cannot remember all the requirements from the friend who most recently 
died of AIDS, but I remember that it took some industrial strength 
committment on the part of 40 friends to allow our friend to die at home 
where he managed to live well beyond medical expectations principally 
because so many people committed to help. We had to say no to wheelchair 
accessibility, ambulance ease of accessibility, and other important 
issues. It sounds to me as if Clare Housing has/will put in place many 
of those important pieces to make it possible for someone without 40 
friends who can commit to 18 months of 24/7 care to have a quality of 
life during the end game.

One(s) can be flip and find apartments anywhere, but AIDS is a nasty 
disease and people need lots of help to weather its storms. Just any old 
apartment will not do the trick.
