Overview of The Residence at Whitehall Il and

Seven years running, and The Residence at Whitehall Il and covers a fairly full spread for a 46-bed community: assisted living, independent living, and respite care, all in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Independent living starts at $2,665 a month. Getting around outside the building usually means driving, since the Walk Score here sits at 38, somewhat walkable at best.

Daily support runs through medication management, transfer assistance, housekeeping, and laundry, the kind of coverage that lets residents stay independent without managing every task alone. Respite care is available too, for families who need short-term coverage rather than a permanent move.

Branding shows up in a few specific places. Graceful Dining™ names the community’s approach to meals, and Graceful Respite Stays and the Vibrant Living Program each carry their own identity rather than folding into a generic activities list. A Wellness Program adds structure to the calendar, and residents can spend time in a fitness center, a spa, a restaurant, or a cafe.

Veterans Benefits are available here too, worth knowing for residents who qualify and are weighing how to pay for care.

Jenna Johnston directs the community, and Cpf Living Communities – Whitehall LLC owns the property. This is a mid-sized Pittsburgh community built around named dining and wellness programs, daily living support, and flexible respite options for families who need it.
