The Best Memory Care Communities in Allegheny County, PA

"We went to look at Harmony at Harts Run. We went through the facility and looked at the independent living. The people could not have been nicer. The facility is clean and new. It had all the amenities, so it was very nice. The staff who gave me the tour was terrific. The rooms were well equipped, an adequate size, and brand new. They have game rooms and physical therapy rooms. The dining halls were nice."

"Paramount Senior Living-Bethel was very welcoming. The staff and residents seemed to have a great interaction with each other. The staff was very knowledgeable and wanted to show my daughter and me everything they had to offer. They have outdoor space, like a little courtyard area. They get three meals a day."

"This facility was an excellent. Never once did we have to advocate for my Mum. Her care was exceptional. The hospice care was outstanding. They treated my Mum with respect and dignity. "

"Orion has provided a personalized care plan for my grandma who began suffering from short term memory loss which is unmatched vs. a larger corporate provider. I am comforted knowing she is being taken care of in the same manner that her family would have provided if they could have. We are so lucky to have found Orion!"

"Arden Courts of North Hills is a secure facility for residents who wander around. They are not allowed to get out of their door because it has an alarm. But they have four different areas, so the residents can walk around and choose what to do. The environment was very welcoming. My mother-in-law was supposed to get a single room there and it looked really nice. We are actually thinking about moving my mother-in-law there because it's more towards making the people with mental problems more comfortable, so all their activities are adapted to those who have Alzheimer's or dementia. "

"Our mother has been a resident at Arden Court for 3 years. She has severe dimentia Our family believes she could not get better care given her condition. The staff is kind and caring all the time. The facility is great as is the food. Mother is happy We have been blessed by Arden Court. Thank you. "

"Grace Manor at North Park was very nice. My mom was on the rehab side with had a roommate in a double room. The staff was fine, and my mom didn't really have comments. The place was one of the better ones in the area. My mom said the food was very good."

"Thank you so much for all that Arden Courts does for the years of wonderful care for my grandparents. As it with most families, the transition to move them out of their home to a memory care community was a difficult decision for our family. However everyone made this transition easier than expected. It was so nice to see them settle into their new home. Always sitting on the porches socializing with other residents and staff members. Your staff has always been wonderful, kind, helpful and caring. Arden Courts provides such a beautiful and clean environment, but honestly the best part of the community is the staff they make it a home for the residents and their families at Arden Courts."

"The Grand Residence was absolutely beautiful and served my grandfather well at the end of his life. The grounds were meticulous kept and I always felt that the place was kept clean. I never noticed any bad smells or hospital-like settings that some nursing homes have. One nice amenity was the cafeteria, as we were able to dine with my grandfather. The food was restaurant quality, which was a nice surprise, as I was expecting hospital like quality. We would frequently bring our small, well behaved dog to visit, and the staff and residence were always excited and welcoming to her. It was nice for my grandfather to be able to visit with our family pets, as we know this would not have been available in many places. We were so pleased with his care, that upon his death, we donated to the residence of the facility. Although the price for the facility was quite high, we felt that it was in line with the care that my grandfather received. Having visited other nursing homes that charged much less, I felt much more at ease with the Grand Residence. It was truly a home away from home, as opposed to a hospital or hospice. "

"We toured Ashton Commons Senior Living. It was very nice. It's a brand-new place, and it was beautiful. They had cottages, which we didn't go to see because we talked about the price before they took us to show us anything. We knew they were too expensive. We were in their general area, and we saw their dining area and their main common areas. Everything was brand new, and the people there were extremely nice. They had signs up that said they had different programs, like bingo, crafts, and outings, and that you could sign up for. They had rides to appointments like if you had doctor's appointments."

"Love, love LOVE the new dining room here. I came to visit my great aunt and was shocked at the transformation! What a difference from a few years ago! "

"My dad moved in and I think is an excellent, clean facility. The people are nice. When I walked in the door, they had this picture frame saying, “Welcome Pam.” They gave a tour and showed me the room. The staff is very gracious. The facility is beautiful, which is why I chose it. They have on-site physical therapists and occupational therapists that work with the patients. "

"We were happy with them. They seemed more personable than some of the other facilities we visited. The staff was engaged, I think they're a good group of people. They had different exercise activities and they're constantly doing stuff with the residents."

"My mother-in-law moved into Harmony at Diamond Ridge. Nicole, the one who gave us the tour several times, had the biggest impact on my mother. She was very thorough, showing us the entire facility several times, answering all of the questions, providing and explaining the care my mother would be receiving, which met all of the criteria I needed for her. And so far, so good. They're wonderful, very helpful, get her down to her meals, bring her back, take her to activities, introduce her to other residents, and make her feel comfortable and at home. She loves the food. We can also eat with her if we'd like, and we have several times. The food is wonderful. They have a special every day, but there is also a completely different menu, so if it's something she doesn't like, she can order it from there. It's the cleanest facility I have been in. They have a ton of activities. They have art class, cards, and bingo. They have a coffee chat every morning, where residents can get together. They go down to the bistro and have coffee, get to know the other residents, have a snack or something, and talk, which she did, and she likes that really well. They have a lot of different activities. You get a schedule, and it's the whole day. If you want to be doing something every minute of the day, you can be. They go on outings and take them to restaurants and stores. I chose this facility because it seemed the best fit for her. The size of the facility, the staff, the director, and everyone that we have met. It just seemed like a perfect fit for her. All the facilities that I took her to, her exact words were that they felt like home to her."
