Overview of Anthology of McCandless

Facebook

Anthology of McCandless in Pittsburgh, PA, offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care supports short stays when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Anthology of McCandless may be a good fit for a resident whose care needs may change over time because assisted living and memory care are available together. Housing includes studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options, from a single-room layout to a larger arrangement suitable for a couple or companion. The Walk Score of 49 reflects a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride rather than being practical on foot. Pets are allowed, giving a resident the option to keep a pet after moving into the community.
