Quincy Village to add apartments for seniors

Affordable apartments for people 55 and older will soon be built at Quincy Village.

Lou Varella, executive director of Quincy Village, said construction of the 36-unit, three-story apartment building should start this summer along Orphanage Road across from the health care center.

The plans for the project were submitted to the township two years ago, but it was put on hold until federal low-income housing tax credits were approved through the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency. A for-profit agency, Enterprise Community Investment Inc. of Columbia, Md., has partnered with Quincy to finance the project and use the tax credits.

Quincy Village is a 360-acre continuing care retirement community that is operated by the non-profit Presbyterian Senior Living of Dillsburg.

Quincy Village offers independent living, personal care, skilled nursing and rehabilitation, care for patients with Alzheimers and other forms of memory impairment and at-home services.

Westminster Place

The apartments will be called Westminster Place, according to Quincy Township Supervisor Bob Gunder.

The land development plan was approved well over two years ago, he said. It caters to citizens over age 55 who would like to rent an apartment, someone who maybe doesnt want the upkeep of a home, or someone who has undergone foreclosure.

The apartment building will be handicapped-accessible, and some of the apartments will be designed for those with hearing and vision impairments.

Varella said the building will be a separate entity on campus, but Quincy will run the apartments.
