First Residents in Retirement Living At Sewickley; More in Summer and Fall

A wintry view of the retirement living area as it nears completion.

After nearly three years of planning and construction, the first residents in retirement living moved into their new homes at the Masonic Village at Sewickley. And they could not be more pleased with the result.

In many ways, the Masonic Village at Sewickley represents a new trend in retirement communities as younger seniors seek not only security, but also comfort, convenience, and personal growth. For many, it is enhancing their lifestyle by offering companionship, creativity, fitness, and some of the finest dining available within surroundings that are beautiful and safe.

Of course, services such as home and grounds maintenance, along with housekeeping and transportation, allow residents the freedom to explore new interests or travel. In addition, residents have the security of knowing that support services are available just across the campus in the form of assisted living or nursing care, should they ever need them.

"When we held our first open house in the new clubhouse, it was wonderful to see the look on visitors' faces," said B. J. Franks, Executive Director. "They just couldn't believe the beauty and the quality."

Another popular amenity on the campus is the new Barley Wellness Center, which comprises a five-lane indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, and complete fitness facility. And, if that is not enough for the fitness enthusiast, the campus features three miles of walking trails.

The heart of the campus is the centrally located clubhouse. Attached by enclosed corridors to all of the apartment buildings, the two-story structure features a Dollar Bank branch, general store, 200-seat auditorium, two restaurants, hair care center, art studio, computer lab, library, and much more. Two large stone fireplaces greet visitors as they enter. From the windows behind the fireplaces and surrounding the formal restaurant, a striking wooded valley drops down abruptly in the direction of the Ohio River.

One of the most valued aspects of the Masonic Village at Sewickley is the fact that it is a life care community. Under a life care agreement, residents continue to pay the same monthly rate for assisted living or nursing services, should they need them in the future, as they pay for retirement living services.

Retirees today are much better planners than the previous generations, as they look forward to longer and healthier lives. They understand, however, that living longer also can mean dealing with increasing frailties in the later years. A community such as the Masonic Village at Sewickley provides a wonderful, dynamic lifestyle now ­ and financial and health care security for the future.

The community will open its second apartment residence, as well as 31 villa homes, in June. A third apartment residence and four additional villa homes will be added by October. Wouldn't you like to enjoy a carefree lifestyle, where convenience, quality, and beauty surround you?
