Summit Retirement Residence sits at 125 S 6th St in Duquesne, Pennsylvania, and offers 55 units for adults aged 55 and older, where people can choose from studios or one-bedroom apartments that start at $500 a month and feature baths with tubs, central air, and emergency pull cords in each bathroom and bedroom that go straight to 911 in case anything goes wrong, and the building's outfitted with a keyless entry system, wide hallways with handrails, and one elevator for extra safety. The place supports aging in place, so there's senior care staff around for things like daily living help, medication management, and personal care, plus the social services coordinator works on-site to answer questions or offer support. People get access to different kinds of care, since they'll find independent living, assisted living, memory care for folks who might get confused or wander, nursing home care, companionship care, and even respite care for short-term stays if a caregiver needs a break, plus there's support connected to home health and hospice services.
Inside, residents have plenty of spaces to relax or visit with friends, including a big community room, craft room, exercise area, library, lounge, formal dining room, and quieter spots like a game and puzzle area, while outside there are landscaped sitting areas, nice patios, and a gas grill for cookouts when the weather's nice, and everyone can use laundry rooms or take part in gardening in the greenhouse. Parking sits off the street for residents and visitors, and the staff arranges scheduled van rides for shopping, doctor appointments, or events, though folks can use transportation on their own if needed, but that extra help comes with a fee. The calendar's always got some kind of activity going, plus devotional services happen both on-site and off-site, and the building's close to plenty of local restaurants, two cafés, two parks, ten pharmacies, a doctor's office, two houses of worship, and a hospital that's nearby in case of emergencies.
Anyone wanting to learn more about senior care can look through the video and article libraries, check out community info and reviews, or take a map view to explore housing options-there are definitions there to help explain care terms, and special features show if you qualify for affordable or subsidized housing or want to see published prices. Summit Retirement Residence supports safety with things like medical alert systems, including well-known brands like Medical Guardian, Bay Alarm Medical, and ADT Medical Alert, along with medication dispensers, home security, and ID theft protection, which means folks can keep their independence but know there's a way to get help if they need it, and families have resources and support to help choose the right care. The place keeps things simple: you get options for living on your own or getting help, indoor and outdoor spaces for staying active or meeting people, on-site and off-site religious activities, social events, and a setting that's designed for comfort, convenience, and peace of mind.
