Encore On The Lake in Canonsburg is structured as an Independent Living community. Residents who do not require memory-care programming can still receive help with key daily tasks: staff are available to cue, supervise, or provide hands-on assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Because the building is geared toward independent seniors rather than those with complex medical conditions, skilled nursing services and specialized dementia care are not part of the regular offerings.

Supportive features reinforce that safety net. A dedicated Activity Director keeps a therapeutic calendar running, while trained team members and security personnel remain on-site around the clock. Staff are prepared to help residents transfer with either a walker or wheelchair, reducing fall risk and enabling safe participation in community events and meals.

Apartments are designed for comfort and practicality. Many units come with a private bathroom, independent temperature controls, cable service, and regular housekeeping, though not every apartment includes every feature, so it is important to clarify availability when touring. Housekeeping for Independent Living residents is included, covering routine cleaning and light upkeep so that residents can focus on social and wellness activities.

Meals are served restaurant-style in the main dining room, with menus that rotate to provide variety and to accommodate common dietary guidelines set by physicians or dietitians. Residents who prefer to dine in their apartments can arrange for tray service, and snacks and beverages are available throughout the day.

The campus provides resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty salon, an exercise room, regularly scheduled religious services, and a concierge to help coordinate transportation and other personal errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
