Derry Station is a senior living community in Derry, PA, where seniors can find affordable housing that fits different needs, and the rent is based on income, usually about 30% of what a person makes each month, so people don't have to worry as much about paying bills or having a safe place to stay, and the place keeps things simple with one-bedroom floor plans that are handicap accessible, along with elevators for people who need them since the building has more than one floor. The apartments and common areas are non-smoking, making it comfortable for those who want clean air. There's at least one accessible unit for people with mobility concerns, and you don't have to go out for mail since on-site mail delivery is included. Safety is important, so fire alarms, smoke detectors, and emergency call systems are provided. The community is a Section 8 (202) property, so it's focused on helping older adults who need affordable places to live, and there are supportive services for the elderly as well as people who used to be homeless.
There's a helpful service coordinator available for residents who might need extra support or someone to talk to about benefits. Derry Station has health care, benefits enrollment centers, hospice care, home health care, primary care, and private duty caregiver services for residents who might need different types of help, and for people dealing with memory loss or needing personal care, there are memory care and assisted living services.
