Although housing and grocery costs typically exceed nationwide averages, many assisted living facilities provide all-inclusive pricing to help residents prepare for monthly expenses.

It also specializes in geriatric medicine, promoting a high standard of clinical care for assisted living residents through age-informed health screenings, education and diagnostic services.
  • With the city reporting just seven crimes per 1,000 residents annually, Allison Park ranks in the top 40% of communities nationwide for safety. Violent crimes occur locally at about a quarter of the national rate, and the property crime rate comes in at less than a third of the U.S. norm, providing peace of mind to those considering assisted living services in this community.
  • Daytime temperatures in Allison Park range from 36 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter to 83 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, making this city one of the cooler communities in Pennsylvania.
