Greensburg, PA, is home to 14,113 residents, and one in five are at least 65 years of age. These seniors can turn to AHN Hempfield Neighborhood Hospital and Excela Health Westmoreland Hospital for state-of-the-art acute and specialty medical services.
Nursing homes are long-term residential care facilities that offer the highest level of care available outside of a hospital. They typically provide skilled nursing, 24/7 monitoring, meals and a range of therapies along with room and board. Many house separate memory care sections for individuals with dementia. Such extensive services make nursing home care significantly costlier than other senior living arrangements. In Greensburg, a semiprivate room carries an average monthly rate of $9,125, compared to the national median of $7,756. Home health care or assisted living might be a more suitable and affordable alternative for those who do not require this type of support.
This guide shows average costs for nursing home care in Greensburg and throughout Pennsylvania. It also lays out average rates for other options and provides some local resources, especially for the area’s seniors and their families.

My father was recently a patient here. He had terminal cancer & was there for end of life care. Every employee we encountered was absolutely fantastic, not only with my father but also with us, his family. They were more than attentive & were there for anything he needed but also whatever it was we needed. They went above & beyond for him & us & they made the heartbreaking situation of losing our father a little easier knowing he was in such amazing hands. There are no words to express our gratitude for what they did. You guys are amazing & again from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you. We will never forget what you did for him most importantly, but also for us.

My aunt is in Westmoreland Manor. It’s good so far, but we need to reevaluate her situation because she also needs memory care. They deal with a lot of lower-level patients that deal with a lot of attention, so the staff there are spending a lot of time with other people too, and can’t give full attention to everybody. They always update me of changes in orders as far as medicines, or changes in their care. They seem to be very interactive with her like in conversation. I think the food is good, but I would rate it average because they’re not watching the diet they’re giving certain patients. They have a lot of activities. The rooms seem nice, they’ve got hallways where they can move around. But like most nursing homes or assisted living facilities, they’re locked down because of COVID guidelines right now. Because all the patients are very medically involved, they don’t want too many people in there.

I found Twin Lakes Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center for my friend because they had opening. We were having trouble finding any place that had an opening. My friend also was Covid positive and so they were one of the only places that take Covid positive people at that time. He is in there for rehab but he’s also under skilled nursing because he’s Covid positive. I think it’s been almost 2 weeks now. His nurse seems to be really nice and he seems to be okay there. He has complained about the food not being very good, but that’s what he does whenever he goes some place different. It’s also near the Westmoreland mall.

I was so upset at first sight of this "highly rated" facility as we brought my loved one in. There is not enough staffing, and the aides are worked too hard. There are caring individuals, but almost 95% of the time your loved one is left to wander alone. No one can be taken to the bathroom while dinner is being served, while they take them to dinner, or bring them back. Elderly people must WAIT till staff is ready for them to go. Not the cleanest place either. Not enough liquids given for proper hydration. WAY too many people in the building- no personal care for anyone! Anyone who has made progress on recovery from a stroke or heart attack or injury will backslide rather than progress with healing. There is NO future in this place! Very Depressing and truly difficult to remove a loved one from once they are there.

The staff is awesome and very caring/attentive. Albeit it is at the bottom of a hill, there are some semi nice views for the residents. All of the nurses seem extremely friendly and really will go out of their way to watch over and even say hello to each of the residents. From what I hear, some other residents complained about the food being the same all of the time, but my great grandparents never complained of it. There is a long monthly menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that rotates every 30 days. Bingo and other activities were held almost every afternoon and young kids would often visit with the residents and give them gifts which I thought was one of the nicest gestures ever. There are two floors, and since they recently installed an elevator, residents on the bottom floor can go upstairs and visit a spouse or friend on the upper (more intensive) care floor.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Greensburg, PA
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
