Spruce Village Apts, managed by the Gene B. Glick Company and acquired by Glick Housing Foundation in 2016, offers affordable independent living for seniors aged 62 and older and people with disabilities, and it's a Section 8 (202) community where rent is often about 30% of adjusted monthly income for those who qualify, and you do need to meet certain income and age guidelines with paperwork like ID, social security card, bank statements, proof of income, and references. It has 101 one- and two-bedroom apartments built in 1980, each with its own kitchen, smoke detectors, and fire alarms; at least one apartment is fully accessible. The place is non-smoking and has elevators for easier movement between floors.
Spruce Village Apts is known for a friendly culture, as staff act helpful, joyful, and kind, so it's no surprise that the community picked up awards like Best Meals and Dining, Best Activities, and Most Friendly. You'll find professional management and maintenance teams right on site, a leasing office in the building, and basic needs support along with case management programming and social engagement activities. Meal services offer nutritious food prepared with quality ingredients, and amenities focus on keeping people mentally, physically, and emotionally active. There's a fitness and exercise center, a cozy puzzle nook, a big laundry center, elevators, a beauty salon, library, outdoor patio, and a community kitchen available for everyone, as well as a community space for gatherings.
Spruce Village Apts provides several types of care, including independent living for active, healthy seniors, assisted living services, home care with trained aides who give companionship and non-medical help, and memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia. Every care type and feature uses specific community terms and is tailored to what residents need. Residents have guidance through a resource directory holding over 26,000 local, state, and national programs, plus on-site case management to help with caregiving, health, financial planning, legal questions, transportation, and veterans resources, and there are always disability and senior resources offered by advocacy groups and aging organizations, and veteran programs too. The lobby, fitness center, laundry services, elevators, and mail delivery all add convenience. The apartments are located close to shops like Patrick Henry Mall, a pharmacy, a grocery store, restaurants, and a post office.
Spruce Village promotes social activities and well-being with its programs and amenities, offering independent living in a safe, supportive place, where people who qualify can find comfort and access to help without giving up their privacy or independence. The facility stays involved in local events and education, providing a range of guides, articles, links, and videos to keep residents informed and connected, with everything set up to support older adults and those with disabilities as their needs change over time.
