Masonic Village at Sewickley History

Founded in 1984 by the Valley Care Association, the campus was purchased in 1999 by the Masonic Villages of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania in an effort to expand services to the western part of the state. The Valley Care Association and the Masonic Villages shared the same vision: to build a quality continuing care retirement community. That vision resulted in the Valley Care Masonic Center.

From 2000 - 2002, a new personal care building, the Star Points Building, was built adjacent to the Valley Care Masonic Center and featured 60 personal care apartments, a dining room, medical clinics, gift shop, child care center and mutlipurpose assembly room.

In 2001, the three phase-construction of 227 retirement living apartments, 35 villas and a clubhouse with a bank, convenience store, library, dining room, salon and computer resource center was completed. In 2006, eight additional villas were added.

In 2002 - 2003, the Valley Care Masonic Center was renovated to provide larger locker and break rooms, as well as new laundry rooms, conference rooms, a lobby and offices for staff. The Barley Wellness Center, named in honor of William S. Barley who generously donated the funds from his estate, was built adjacent to the Star Points Building during this period.
