Canterbury Place in Pittsburgh offers assisted-living support with an emphasis on comprehensive medical management. The community is prepared for residents who use oxygen, follow physician-ordered special diets, or are younger than 60 and require an assisted-living setting. Diabetes care is provided at several levels, including oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin protocols. Staff are trained to care for individuals living with moderate dementia, and licensed nurses coordinate care plans to help manage chronic conditions and reduce hospital trips.

Round-the-clock care coverage includes registered and licensed practical nurses on site, an awake night shift, and 24-hour on-call nursing. All employees undergo background checks, and the building has constant staffed security along with pull-cord alert systems and a fenced rear area. On-site podiatry and dental clinics limit the need for outside appointments. Residents who need some physical assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting receive that help, and mobility support ranges from standby oversight to one-person transfers for walkers and wheelchairs.

Living areas vary, and not every accommodation has every feature, but options can include a private bathroom, cable service, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry pick-up. Room layouts are designed to be navigable for mobility devices and to allow staff quick access when a pull-cord alarm is activated.

Meals follow a set menu planned by dietary staff, with snacks available throughout the day and the flexibility of in-room trays or a private dining room for family visits. Diet modifications such as gluten-free, vegetarian, or other physician-ordered plans are routinely managed to support medical and cultural needs.

The community is wheelchair accessible and offers an on-site barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, internet access, communal gardens, regularly scheduled religious services, concierge assistance, and a library for resident use.
