The Addison of McCullough Place sits in a single-story building that's clean, well-kept, and feels like home from the moment you walk in, with friendly staff who know the residents by name and treat everyone like family, and you can really see kindness from the administration all the way down because they keep the place warm, caring, and bright, with residents often mentioning how the staff's genuine help makes everyone comfortable and welcome. The community has assisted living, independent living, and something called "Memory Care" for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, so there's support for all sorts of needs from simple help with bathing and dressing to medication management and 24/7 care, and they've got personal care, short-term stays, respite programs, and even home care for those who want to stay home longer but need companionship or non-medical care.
The Addison has all the usual things you'd expect, like fitness and recreation activities, daily events that include yoga and exercise classes, live music, church services, crafts, bingo, movie nights, trivia, and even happy hour with music; some activities are even run by the residents themselves, which keeps things lively and helps everyone stay social. There are chef-prepared meals served every day, ordered from a rotating menu, and they even do private dining when people want it, always focusing on healthy and tasty options, and if folks want a snack, the staff makes sure nobody goes hungry. The building has wide, handicap accessible halls, enough open spaces for socializing, a hair salon and barber, a library, a garden, neat walking paths outside, an outdoor courtyard, and an activity room; there's also high-speed Wi-Fi available throughout, so it doesn't feel cut off from the world. Residents can have their pets, and there's a community dog around the place that brings a bit of extra joy to the day when folks see him; the policy allows animals inside the apartments.
The Addison coordinates care with outside doctors and clinics and sits close to places like Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center and Western PA Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, making it easier on families, and there's always help on hand thanks to the 24-hour supervision, a round-the-clock call system, and a professional support team available any hour, day or night. Staff at Addison are often described as friendly, polite, helpful, and welcoming, and you'll see they go out of their way to treat everyone with respect and dignity, offering help when asked-whether it's housekeeping, laundry, or getting ready for the day-all in a way that values independence but gives support when it's needed. Memory Care is designed to prevent wandering and reduce confusion, with programs set up to help people remember the good moments and stay safe, while the overall environment feels steady and home-like, not institutional.
Transportation is available for outings or appointments, and the building is arranged so it's easy to move around, whether someone's more independent or needs nursing care, and respite and short-term options are available for families who need a break, plus affordable housing for those that need it. Addison's programming is set up so there's something to learn or enjoy just about every day, always with an eye on helping people stay active and make new friends, and the place strives for a homey feeling more than anything fancy. Pricing isn't published, but people often bring up the value of care and the strong effort to keep things clean.
