Lincolnia Regional Senior Center

Here follows a history of the school as published on the Fairfax County Public Schools website:

Lincolnia Regional Senior Center
In 1983, the School Board declared the Lincolnia Center surplus property and ownership of the building was transferred to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. At that time, there was a severe shortage of independent living and assisted living housing in Fairfax County for the elderly, so a proposal was put forward to convert the former Lincolnia school building into a home for low and moderate-income senior citizens. The proposal was approved, and, in February 1987, work began on a $6.1 million conversion and expansion of the old Lincolnia School. The Lincolnia Regional Senior Center opened on November 16, 1989. On May 3, 1990, the Washington Post reported:

"The center combines a host of programs and services under one roof for both well and frail citizens over age 55, some of whom live at the center full-time and others of whom visit during the day for meals and activities. There are 26 efficiency apartments complete with kitchenettes for independent seniors. The center also has a licensed home for adults with 25 double-occupancy rooms that are shared by 52 seniors who are not capable of independent living and need assistance from the center’s full-time staff. In addition, there is an adult health day-care center for 40 people, most of whom arrive each day by bus, and a recreation center with three pool tables that can serve another 150 persons. The recreation center is in the old, refurbished Lincolnia Elementary School, and the housing and day care area are in a new, three-story brick addition attached to the back."
