The Best Assisted Living Communities in Allegheny County, PA

"My great uncle is a current resident. The facility has lots of great activities, updates throughout the building, and a caring staff. The room he is in is kept very clean, as well as the rest of the common areas. He also really enjoys the meals!"

"AP is a real find! You can't do better for cost, living accommodation & staff. Staff is helpful, friendly & attentive & takes care to ensure residents can be interactive & have some fun with games, movies & a great outdoor space for warm weather. Timely housekeeping/laundry & food is very good. We had excellent access to staff & Director - all very easy to talk with and always addressed needs/issues timely-even immediately when possible. Staff was empowered to take responsibility - no passing the buck, always willing to help. They treated our relative like their own & still treated us like family with kindness & caring after the passing of our loved one. Could not have asked for more. Highly recommend."

"I went to Juniper Village at South Hills. Everybody there was very nice. The administrator was very nice, friendly, and very thorough with the walkthrough. They're going through renovations. And so the place is immaculate. It's beautiful. The apartment sizes like the studios are a nice, decent size. And then they have the one-bedrooms, and those are also nice. And what they're doing as residents move out, they're renovating each room individually to just update them. And so it is a lovely place. It's so clean and so friendly, and a great atmosphere. My mother has an onset of dementia. So even the lockdown wards, if once they evaluated her, she would be in a lockdown ward. But as long as she has an aide with her, she's able to go outside and do everything, she just can't do it independently. And they've got plenty of recreational areas and little like snack downs if you will. So if they want to have like an afternoon snack or a drink or something like that, that is all available. They have plenty of activities. I looked at the activity calendar and they've got a lot of stimulating activities. Also, I looked at a sample of their menus and it had a lot of great food choices."

"We toured The Residence at Whitehall. They were very nice, but they were above what we could afford. They showed us the studio apartment, which would have been too small for us. We saw the common areas like the lobby, the dining areas, and the craft rooms. They were well-maintained."

"All new decorated rooms, floors, painted wall, new toilets, mattress, as well as kitchen, reading room, meeting room, every inch of this home has been touched and made more comfortable, more accessible, to its residence. The food is great, the care, the staff, all helpful, and at beckoning call when needed. Our 1st cousin has been there for five years. He needed more help than we could have given him,…. Sycamore Estates was the answer."

"I like how clean it was, how everything was open and available to all the people who live there, and the staff was great. I looked at both assisted living and independent living. The staff who gave me the tour was very knowledgeable. She gave me a tour of the whole place, and it seemed like she didn't hide anything. It's a great place. They got in-house physical therapy; it looked great. They have a gym, a salon, and an in-house doctor. It was close to where she's living now. It's near all the hospitals, too."

"I have nothing but praise for all of these employees. They are always cheerful, patient and glad to help. They even get a message to my dad when he doesn't answer the phone. There are plenty of activities and my father is happy with the food. "

"Harmony at Harts Run is where my mother-in-law is going to be placed. We have put down a deposit. There was a lot to offer at all of the places, but it seemed like Harmony at Harts Run had the most. It was the prettiest as far as the rooms and the bathrooms. They really seemed to pay good attention to details. We dealt with Courtney, and she was very nice. We met another lady, and she was very helpful, too. So, I'm very hopeful that this is going to be great. We saw the menu, and it looked good."

"I toured the assisted living facility of Paramount Senior Living-Bethel. It is in a nice area, and it's very clean. I would say it is very well-appointed. It makes a very good entrance when you go in. The grounds are nice, the lobby is beautiful, and the dining area is beautiful. The facility itself is nice. When you go upstairs to the assisted living, the rooms are very nice. They have very good rooms, and you don't see a big difference between the independent area and the assisted living area. They kind of blur the line pretty well. I think it's because they may use a lot of the same rooms, and they just increase the care as you need it, so they don't have a separate area. The people were nice, and the activities seemed to be very nice. They have a nice outdoor courtyard. It's a nice place, and the people are very nice and seem like they were attentive. There was no question that if we thought my mother could handle personal care, that's the place we would have sent her to. We have put money down for it, so we were disappointed that she couldn't go there. During the tour, they showed us the dining area, activities area, and I guess you could call it a living room. It's just like a lounge area where you could sit and talk, watch TV, or read a book."

"I toured the assisted living facility of Paramount Senior Living at South Hills, and it's a very nice place. The people are nice, and the amenities and the rooms are just as nice. The guy who gave the tour was also really nice. It was an abbreviated tour because I had already gone to their facility in Bethel Park. We took a quick tour of this place, and it looked the same. It was a little bit different in the layout, but it was very similar in that it was appointed the same way, people were nice, and the grounds were nice. They talked about the activities, but I didn't see any. I didn't see people dancing around or doing any of that stuff. You could tell the people were comfortable there. Some of them are in worse shape than others. They wouldn't be there if they didn't need some help, but they seem to be well-treated. It was mealtime, so you could see the servers going around. They didn't offer me any food, but they were being nice to the people and helping some eat. They were pretty attentive, and I have to say they run a good ship."

"Everytime I visit the place is getting nicer and more up to date. The staff are friendly and make him happy living there."

"I toured. Mike was very personable and very knowledgeable. He showed me around the whole facility and a sample room and how the setup was with my mom. They were doing some activity, so I got to see a little bit of what they had going on at the facility. It had a very personable, friendly atmosphere. I did not have a meal, but they said they had a personal cook on staff that made meals fresh, which I liked."

"Hemsley House of McCandless is a gorgeous place. It's brand new, bright, and it's really huge. They have 24 patients. It seems like they're very attentive. The dining area is very nice. They feed the patient as well."
