This assisted living facility has over 600 apartments, so how do I get USPS to allow me to use the apartment number with this change of address?

USPS won't deliver it to the apartment. They will probably leave mail at the front desk or an area the AL has set aside for mail delivery.

At Moms AL the mailboxes were at the reception desk area. The mail carrier opens the whole front of the boxes showing each slot with a rm#. Once done the door is closed showing only the bx# given with a key slot. Just like the boxes in a Post Office you rent. I would assume anything larger than that cubby hole would be left at the reception desk. When you give others Moms address, then you include the rm# so the mail carrier can place the card/letter in the correct slot. At my Moms AL, any mail that did not have a room# was left at the reception desk for residents to go thru or like me, family. This is the same system that Apt Complexes use where I live. Delivery to each apartment is only pkg deliveries unless office allows them to be dropped off there.

You need to ask the AL what their procedure for mail is.

I suggest asking an administrator at the facility. They likely have dealt with this issue many times.

How about opening a PO BOX nearby?
