Lewinsville Center Residences sits in McLean, Virginia, and offers affordable senior apartments to people ages 62 and older, mainly through the federally assisted Section 202 program with Section 8 housing support under HUD, so there's some peace of mind for folks looking for affordable independent living and a little extra help when needed. The community has 143 apartments at the main site-including studios, one-bedrooms, and a few two-bedrooms, some with patios or balconies, plus an extra 18 one-bedroom apartments with balconies at Lewinsville East, which is part of the Fairfax County Housing Authority's ADU Rental Program, so there's a range of apartment types to choose from. Every apartment has things that make daily life a bit easier, like a full-size refrigerator, electric range, garbage disposal, microwave, and walk-in shower, plus energy-efficient windows, wood-style flooring, and utilities like heat, air, water, and electricity included in the rent, and there's pre-wiring for phone, internet, and TV, so residents don't have to worry much about extra bills. The buildings have safety features like smoke detectors and sprinkler systems and keyless front door entry, and some units are designed to be fully accessible for people with mobility, vision, or hearing difficulties, which can be a real comfort as needs change.
The grounds have landscaped courtyards, walking paths, and patio seating alongside Lewinsville Senior Center and Lewinsville Park, and inside, there's an on-site fitness center, a clubroom, kitchenette, media room, and a library with a rotating collection from Fairfax County Public Libraries, so there are plenty of places for socializing or quiet time. Meals are available as part of a dining program-residents can eat in a community restaurant, cafeteria, or get take-out, and there's even a room service delivery right to apartments if needed, which is helpful for folks with changing health. The staff manages 24-hour maintenance, management, and security response, and there's a front desk that's always staffed, so help is never far off, and the folks here have a reputation for being friendly, helpful, and happy to assist.
Care options stretch from independent living for active seniors to higher levels of support, like assisted living and nursing care services, with personal help for daily activities, medication management, meals, personal care, and specialized memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia in safe, secure areas, which covers a lot of ground for different health situations. Rehabilitation and wound care, respite care for short-term stays, and in-home care by aides are all available, so even those with complex health needs can stay comfortable. There are special programs and memory-enhancing activities for folks who need them, plus social clubs, piano and fitness classes, line dancing, yoga, and regular trips, so the community stays busy and people stay connected-plus there's general counseling, community computers, a business center, and even a SHARE Store location for supplies.
Lewinsville Center Residences keeps up with modern building standards, following EarthCraft Multifamily Platinum Design and Virginia Housing Development Authority Universal Design guidelines, which means careful planning for safety, comfort, and accessibility. Some apartments have balconies for fresh air, and the community is pet-friendly-residents can have one dog or cat, or two small pets, which keeps things homey. There's parking for residents and guests, with an extra lot nearby, and management is by Wesley Property Management Company, with Goodwin House also on-site for support. The community runs as a nonprofit mission project of The Lewinsville Presbyterian Church, and it aims to help seniors keep their independence and dignity, with a good range of health, wellness, and social supports built in. Over 200 older adults use the facility daily, and reviews from SeniorAdvisor.com say people like the meals, the friendliness, and the activities here.
