Hillcrest Apartments in Troy, PA, is a senior housing community at 261 Redington Ave that gives older adults several living options, including independent and assisted living, and it connects to affordable housing programs like the Low Income Housing Tax Credit, Section 8, Section 202, USDA Rural Housing, Special Needs Section 811, and Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing, so folks pay no more than 30% of their adjusted income for rent, which brings some peace of mind, though the likelihood of a long or closed waiting list is high because these apartments use HUD subsidies and often see long interest lists based on similar locations. The property has 40 one-bedroom units, with 34 one-bedroom units over at Cedar Ridge and another unit in McCallum Manor at 45 N Washington St, Apt 151, in Canton, PA, giving some choice, including options for those with disabilities and for residents who are aged 62 or older. Residents can choose to pay a flat rent or stick to income-based rent based on household earnings and deductions like medical or child care expenses, and all units offer a utility allowance. There's community support here for things like food assistance and help with waitlists, and there's a focus on veterans too, with VA benefits like Aid and Attendance to help with long-term care costs.
The amenities cover simple needs well; you'll find pet-friendly policies, specialty meal services, on-site meals to lighten daily chores, indoor common rooms to encourage socializing, outdoor patios and grills, a computer room, on-site laundry, a fitness facility, and regular 24-hour emergency maintenance so residents know help's always at hand. Health care services at Hillcrest include diabetic care, incontinence management, staff for moving help between bed and wheelchair, and someone who can monitor insulin and offer medication support, and the staff remain available at all hours in case something goes wrong. If a resident needs help with daily activities, like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine, there are residential care homes and live-in caregivers available, and housekeeping help comes with maintenance-free living, so you don't have to worry about repairs or cleaning up so much.
The property sits near shopping, churches, and medical centers, and public transportation makes it possible to get downtown or run errands, so living here means you're not cut off from community, and there are devotional activities on- and off-site, a tenants association, indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, recreational features, and landscaped grounds with spacious closets and energy-saving appliances for ease and comfort. The apartments are made accessible for handicapped and disabled people as well, and the community serves a range of seniors, from those who are active and want social events and fitness to those who need more specialized care, such as memory care services for Alzheimer's or dementia. Home care through trained aides offers companionship and non-medical support for seniors wanting to stay at home as long as possible. So, with affordable housing that meets income limits-some based on 30%, 50%, and 80% of the area median income-and a flat rent option, Hillcrest Apartments focuses on stable and supportive living for older adults, though there are no current reviews, and you'll need patience with the waiting list if you're interested.
