ONE HOME, THROUGH IT ALL
When Things Change, You Stay.
When you move in, you stay. As your needs change, the care comes to you, not the other way around. Your apartment stays your apartment. Your neighbors stay your neighbors. And couples whose needs grow apart still share the same apartment, because after a lifetime together, a difference in care shouldn't be the thing that separates you. Whatever comes next, you don't have to move again.

WHAT FAMILIES ARE SAYING
42 YEARS. ONE FAMILY.
Bill and Kathy Polachek have cared for Pennsylvania seniors since 1984. In 2001, they built The Grand Residence, designing it as a place they want to live in themselves one day. Larger apartments. A genuine restaurant. A building that feels like a home. Their daughter Melissa helps run it now, and the Director of Nursing has been here since the doors opened. Three generations later, the same family, still here, answering your call.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of senior living and care does The Grand Residence provide?
The Grand Residence is a senior living community in Upper St. Clair, with care that ranges from light daily help to full, complex support, all under one roof. Some residents live independently and just need a hand now and then, while others need full assistance day to day, and most fall somewhere in between. Whatever the need, the care grows as it changes, so no one ever has to move to get more of it.
Does The Grand Residence support residents with memory loss?
Yes. The Grand Residence supports residents living with dementia, Alzheimer's, and other memory changes, with daily cueing, reminders, and patient, familiar care. Many residents experience some cognitive change over time, and the team is experienced in supporting them while keeping daily life as normal and comfortable as possible.
Can couples live together in senior living if they need different levels of care?
Yes. At The Grand Residence, a couple can share the same apartment even when one is fully independent and the other needs significant daily care. Each person receives the level of support they need while staying together. This is one of the things that sets the community apart from most senior living in the South Hills.
How much does senior living cost at The Grand Residence?
Pricing depends on the apartment and the level of care, but unlike many communities, the base rate already includes care, medication management, help with daily routines, and regular wellness checks, with no surprise add-on fees as needs grow. Because every situation is different, exact pricing is shared during a quick conversation rather than listed online. Families are welcome to call for a straightforward answer.
How do you move into The Grand Residence?
Moving in starts with a conversation and a tour of the community in Upper St. Clair. If it feels like the right fit, the next steps are simple: a free nursing assessment, help with the paperwork, and a move-in date. Once everything's in order, move-in can often happen within just a few days.
