Grace Manor at North Park sits at 9565 Babcock Blvd in McCandless and has a 4.4 rating from 21 reviews. The building's three stories are home to seniors needing assisted living, memory care, or personal care, with help always close by and nurses and doctors available when needed. New management's come in and people seem to like the caring environment, because families and residents say the staff treats everyone with respect and keeps them well-informed. The community has a no pets policy, but it offers both long-term and short-term respite care, and the rent is all-inclusive so you don't have to worry about extra fees popping up each month.
Residents can pick from a studio, semi-private, or one-bedroom-each with cable TV, Wi-Fi, and private bathrooms that are wheelchair-accessible, and some rooms come furnished if somebody doesn't want to bring all their own things. The building offers indoor and outdoor common areas, including a bright, cozy room with a chandelier and fireplace, a shaded porch outside, walking paths, and well-kept gardens for slowing down on nice days. Meals get served three times a day, prepared by a chef, and they handle vegetarian diets, diabetes-friendly menus, and important allergy needs.
Folks who move in find a community-like place where it feels like a nice condominium, only there's always someone around in case help's needed for bathing, dressing, medication, laundry, and getting between the bed and wheelchair. There's help for those with dementia and memory needs, with specific memory care options starting at $6,400, and assisted living starting at $4,800. Nurses and aides work 24 hours, and medication's handled by trained staff. Visiting professionals like podiatrists, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, and other healthcare staff visit regularly for things like therapy or diabetic care, including insulin injections.
People stay busy if they want to with planned activities, arts and crafts, movie nights in a big onsite theater, and things like cooking classes, antique car events, and even Pittsburgh Steelers tailgates. Outdoor programs, a library, activity rooms, and a game room give different ways to socialize, or people can relax in community spaces and take part in devotional services. Residents can smoke outside, not inside, and there's both parking and paid transportation services to help folks get to doctor's appointments or run errands. The staff helps with move-in coordination, housekeeping, and reminders for things like bathroom visits, and hospice services are available if needed.
Grace Manor allows private pay, veterans' benefits, Social Security, and private insurance for payment. The building doesn't allow pets, and it prefers folks who need a medium level of care-those who want help but aren't fully dependent. The focus here stays on dignity, respect, and keeping families in the loop, with new management working to keep things running smoothly. If families want to see what life's like, tours are available to meet the staff and see the place for themselves. Grace Manor at North Park provides a calm, supportive community with a lot of options and thoughtful care for seniors.
