Mobile apartment residents with disabilities say they have been left with no caretaker for years

MOBILE, Ala. ( WKRG ) — Disabled residents at the Anderson-Fischer Apartments in Mobile said they have been left to fend for themselves after not having an on-site caretaker for years.

Mobile Fire-Rescue has issued the apartment, located on Jeff Hamilton Road Extension, with violations that they could not disclose. MFRD said the apartment is within the period where it can take corrective action.

According to the apartment’s website, Minnesota-based Accessible Space Inc. and the Alabama Head Injury Foundation partnered to offer an “accessible, affordable independent living opportunity to adults with qualifying disabilities.”

Residents said the two-story building is far from that.

“You can call them, man, you don’t get no answer,” Milton Dunning, a resident at Anderson-Fischer Apartments, said. “It just takes so long to get stuff done in here.”

When WKRG called the Mobile branch of Accessible Living Inc., a voicemail message said we called outside of their Monday through Friday business hours. It was noon on a Tuesday.
