Assisted Living Communities in Pittsburgh, PA

"We toured Juniper Village at Forest Hills. The room was very big and clean, and the people were very nice. The staff was very nice and accommodating, and they have a craft area."

"We toured Locust Grove. We liked it. It was pretty nice. We saw a typical room. We walked up to the cafeteria. We looked at their activities schedule and meal schedule. The rooms would come with small refrigerators. I think they said that some people could put a coffee maker in there, but there wasn't a whole lot of room there. So if you were the first person in there, there's room for a couch and a chair, but if you were the second person in there, and someone else already had one in there, then that wouldn't work. The staff who toured me around was very helpful."

"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."

"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. "

"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 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."

"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 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."

"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."

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

"I like the cleanliness at Harmony at Harts Run. It's beautiful. The settings are gorgeous. It's better than home, actually. It's very well appointed. They're attentive to the patients. They're really nice. They have really nice sitting areas with sofas, chairs, and a TV. It's carpeted throughout. They have a very nice dining area, a kitchen, and a central nursing station. They feed the patient as well."

"Celebration Villa of Allison Park is very organized and very clean. I don't know if I found anything I didn't like. I didn't meet the staff other than the manager that showed me around, and he was good. I guess it was just the time that I showed up. They were probably all busy with folks and stuff. Everything there was nice. I think in the middle is a courtyard, which is very nice. The place was very clean. I had no qualms about that at all. You could get there fairly easily for anything that you need. You're not far from Route 8, you're not far from McKnight or 19. I think it's quite handy, and I think it is in a good location."

"My mom moved in. The people are just so personable. Every single person is brought out to the community room. They are very attentive. They walk to the units and ask if the patients would like a cup of coffee. It is definitely like a family. The facility is beautiful. They have a hair salon. The activities are wonderful. Every day, I can see them out there doing word games. They have music. If there's an anxiety-ridden patient, they'll have themselves and other patients around them trying to calm the patient, holding their hand, saying the rosary, and all kinds of things to help calm the patient. It's like they're caring for their mother. The food is excellent."

"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."
