Graceful Care Living South sits on nine acres atop one of the highest points in Allegheny County, with spacious and modern living areas spread across two residences in an intimate setting where residents feel at home, and it's got a lovely garden, patios, and panoramic views so folks can take in the fresh air or just look outside and see something nice, and the building's all on one level so you won't find yourself fussing with stairs or elevators. This facility offers five levels of care, ranging from independent living to more complete daily assistance, including memory care for those with dementia or other memory impairments, and the care team, many with over 15 years of experience, is always around, because staff stays on-site 24 hours a day. Residents get personalized plans for care, and staff help with things like bathing, dressing, and making sure you get the right medicine, and there are direct care workers there all day and night. The community includes cozy common rooms for hanging out, activities like music, book clubs, arts, games, and hobby groups, and residents can join fitness and educational programs when they want, plus there's a library and technology features like emergency call systems to keep everyone safe.
Chef-prepared meals take into account special diets, such as diabetic or vegetarian needs, and everyone eats together in a cheerful dining room that welcomes guests too, and if someone's got favorite recipes or decoration ideas for their room, the facility lets them customize things like wall colors and pictures, so it feels more personal. Housekeeping and laundry are handled regularly, so folks don't have to worry about chores, and linen and private cleaning options are available too. There are single and companion rooms, each with a private powder room, and the 91 beds at the South location offer choices for privacy or shared spaces, while the whole site is designed with safety and accessibility in mind, featuring things like large bathrooms and easy layouts for walkers and wheelchairs. For those needing a beauty or barber shop, those services are right on-site, and resident and guest parking makes visits simple.
