37 Nursing Homes Near Pittsburgh, PA
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has more than 300,000 residents, of whom 14.7% are aged 65 and older. Fortunately, the city has several top-ranking hospitals including UPMC – Pinnacle, West Penn Hospital and St. Clair Hospital. The University of Pittsburgh is home to several distinguished geriatric centers for mental health, continence, osteoporosis, pain and cardiology. Other premier senior healthcare providers include UPMC Senior Care at Shadyside and the Allegheny Health Network.
Nursing homes offer a high level of care for people who can’t be adequately cared for at home but don’t need the acute care provided in a hospital. These facilities typically have nurses and nursing aides on-site 24/7, and offer skilled care and therapies. Consequently, they tend to be the most expensive senior care option. According to the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey, Pittsburgh’s average cost is $9,125, which exceeds the U.S. median of $7,756 by over $1,350 per month. Assisted living or home health care can be more feasible economically, and often as effective, for those who don’t need nursing home-level services.
This guide provides more detail on the costs of different types of senior care in Pittsburgh. It also lists local resources for the city’s elderly population.

My mother is in Vincentian Home for rehab. Except for them being a little bit understaffed, which I understand is everywhere, I’ve been happy. And it seems to me that she is too. She has a couple of little issues, but it’s her mental capability that gives her the issues, it’s not the actual facility. She’s eating the food there and they have a lot of options. I know that she’s getting rehab daily. She doesn’t realize she’s getting rehab because sometimes it’s just a walk down the hallway, or they observe how she feeds herself kind of a thing. She is getting it at least six days a week. It’s a nice place, and the insurance is covering for her rehab. The good thing that they have is continuing care, if she would start in their personal care, she is guaranteed a spot through the home as their needs change. But it’s way out of our price range. They weren’t encouraging people to get out of their rooms or out of bed or anything like that. They don’t do that, they just kind of leave them in their room all day. But they’re also there for rehab and they’re not very mobile. So I guess there’s a difference with the level of what they do with them.

The rooms are adequate. The staff is exceptional, they are diverse is age, talents and gender. They are a great group of people. You will hear singing and humming as they deliver trays to those who are not able to go to the spacious dinning areas. They are willing to take the time while passing out the meals to talk with the patients. There are many TV areas and a lovely outside area for the patients who are able to go to these areas. The therapy staff is willing to come back if the patient is sleeping or has company. The parking is easily accessible. The staff respect each other and are kind and nice to the patients and the families. I like the laundry room, it made me feel productive and more like I was at home. I often just missed the doctors but was able to discuss the visit with the Nurse on staff. I was very pleased with my father’s care while he was at Kane.

Mom is in Vincentian De Marillac. The rooms are way too small, but the care she’s getting and the people there make up for the lack of space. They have Bingo and a few other games to play, and other things they try, but they don’t have a lot of room for big activities. It doesn’t smell like a nursing home. You can either smell the food or something fresh. The food is very good, and the staff is wonderful, but some of the younger ones tend to take off without notice, so a lot of the really good ones get stuck with too much work. They need to get rid of the younger ones and hire someone more dedicated, and they could use more variety in activities.

If I could give a ZERO I would for the care my mom Shirley received!!!
**This is a lengthy review – but important for others considering putting a loved one here for care during physical therapy rehabilitation …**
After arriving for physical therapy the day after she was in a tragic car accident. Mercy hospital admitted her to check for a concussion and scan for broken bones. The scan showed clear – she was discharged and sent to Concordia of the Southhills for rehabilitation – physical therapy.
She arrived in a ton of pain, her left leg was 4x the normal size and in a highly confused state. (Totally uncharacteristic of my mom). She had to request pain meds or Tylenol. Visiting hours were very limited and strict. She was left alone. Not monitored. Her leg wasn’t getting better so they X-rayed her foot and her ankle (why not do the whole leg I’ll never know) – we later found out that was actually broken!!!! …. They didn’t care that she wasn’t remembering to ask for pain meds. They didn’t care if she ate or drank. They made her walk on her leg. — We made sure a family member was in everyday to monitor and visit for the limited 2 hours we were allowed. I arrived to find my mom shaking. Very confused. I requested a nurse. Nurse M was rude, yelled at me that my mom doesn’t listen – she needs to stay in bed and walked out without ever asking if this confused state was normal. NO IT WASN’T!! No one listened. I requested to see a doctor. The Physician Assistant I’ll note that his first initial is "J". He arrived "looked" at my mom and said she was shaking from being in pain!!! Seriously. Her body was shaking because she as in PAIN – I requested pain meds. Shaking didn’t stop. I was told I had to leave visiting hours were over. Next day I arrived to find my mom in a worsen state of confusion. No longer shaking – but full fledge Tremors throughout her whole body. I REQUESTED loudly for help. Nurse "M" arrived again yelling at me, saying "that the Physician Assistant "J" told you she is shaking from being in pain!!!" A new Physician Assistant "A" arrived. He checked out my Mom, did vitals and was going to order blood and fluids – he was the first person to show any real concern and care. I ended up demanding she be transported to the Jefferson Hospital ER after I watched my mom turn gray, was hallucinating and was in massive pain.
The ER doctor said she would have died that night. There was NO FLUID in her bladder. – cells were actually breaking away from her bladder wall. She was dangerously dehydrated. There was no food in her stomach. Her blood pulse was 60 when it should have been 95 or higher. Her kidneys were shutting down. She was septic. She had multiple blood clots. Her leg was actually broken below the knee AND the lists goes on. It is now 8 weeks from the car accident and her stay at Concordia – she has finally been discharged and is home. She is in a wheelchair. Needs a lot of Physical and Occasional Therapy.
If you have a family member is healthy and needs physical therapy only. I think they would be good. BUT if you have a family member that needs aid and medical monitoring or care. RUNNNNN!!!
I PRAY the Directors, Physicians Assistance, Nurses, Case Managers. Therapists and Aides of Concordia of the Southhills read this… I pray that you do not allow this to happen to another of your patients!!! The only peace I have is that my mom does not remember her stay for Rehabilitation at Concordia of the South Hills.
I PRAY you will all start listening to family members when they say something is not normal. I PRAY you educate your staff that if patients are not eating or drinking, if they are confused, having difficulty communicating — that this is NO normal.

The therapists were great. The location is convenient. The building is pretty. The food is horrible. Effective but not a Pleasant place to visit. Double rooms are really unpleasant and it is a shame that they are still used anywhere. My father was there after a stroke and he did recover well and I was able to bring him home eventually after having moved him to the assisted living facility upstairs. He simply could not tolerate the food. The assisted living was not great, but really no worse than other places we tried in the city. The aids are unpleasant but that seems to be the unfortunate norm.

My mother was at ManorCare in Whitehall for 3 weeks until we moved her to another facility for the lack of care and poor treatment she was receiving there. Call bells went unanswered for hours, she was not regularly washed. Although there for IV medication and severe back pain, she was coerced into aggressive physical therapy that caused her increased pain. Once, she had no dinner. Some of the nurses and most of the aides were curt, condescending and inappropriate. One nurse told her "This is not a hotel" another said "You’ll do what I tell you to do!" when she was too ill for therapy. On one occasion when I approached the nursing station for help, i was told that my mother was not his patient, and he walked away from me with no eye contact. Another time, I was told by the nurse that she just came back from vacation and was too busy to assist me until later. My family members actually feared for my mother’s safety and her health until we got her out of there.

As a former resident with CHF, I was sent there by Mercy Hosp. The rehab services were things I could have done on my own and the food service was unprofessional. I received chopped cups, greasy flatware to the point I had refused to eat. My complaint about not getting meds on time, staff members w/ attitudes and a chip on their shoulder, dirty flatware and nor having anything done to follow up on breathing, kidney function and oxygen levels fell on death ears.
When I decided to leave after 3 days, certain staff members tried getting me to stay, saying you have a sick heart and you’re to be here for 2 wks. Whenever I would ask what they were doing for my sick heart, I got no response.
I was refused rehab on the day I was 6o leave as well as oxygen to take home
People would look at me with frowns on their faces and basically didn’t want anything to do with me anymore.
On the day I was to leave, I had adv admin that my ride was coming from a distance that was around 4pm. I was told of they were not there by 5 I would need to catch bus home I hadn’t even signed and discharge papers at this point.
Unfortunately, I have a 108 year old great grandmother st this location.
On the day I had decided to leave, approx 9 fifferent people were in and out of my room trying to get me to say. Even my phys therapist had gave me a mean look when he saw me.

They have a lot of activities and lots of bingo, which everyone loves. They’ve had people come in, like musicians, and they had someone bring a dog to visit. They just have a variety of things going on. Everyone is very helpful. When he’s in the wheelchair, and he’s wheeling some place and they see him, they’ll help him. It’s unbelievably well run.

About 18 months ago sadly, I had placed my mom in the care of Highland Park Care Center. There is a lot to like about Highland Park Care Center. The staff there treat you and your family member with dignity and respect. They facilities look and smell clean. They are also offer a variety of fun activities for the residents such as, Bowling, Prize bingo, Board and card games and movie nights. There is always staff on hand to answer a phone call day or night. Most of the staff can answer of most medically concerned questions about your loved one and are very supportive of the concerned family members as well. There are may positives to Highland Park care. There are also some negatives about Highland Park Care Center. As in most places that care for the elderly, not all of the people are as honest as they may appear. There were problems with missing money and clothing mix-ups after their clothes are laundered. Other than theft of money and clothing mix-ups it is still a good care facility.

About 18 months ago sadly, I had placed my mom in the care of Highland Park Care Center. There is a lot to like about Highland Park Care Center. The staff there treat you and your family member with dignity and respect. They facilities look and smell clean. They are also offer a variety of fun activities for the residents such as, Bowling, Prize bingo, Board and card games and movie nights. There is always staff on hand to answer a phone call day or night. Most of the staff can answer of most medically concerned questions about your loved one and are very supportive of the concerned family members as well. There are may positives to Highland Park care. There are also some negatives about Highland Park Care Center. As in most places that care for the elderly, not all of the people are as honest as they may appear. There were problems with missing money and clothing mix-ups after their clothes are laundered. Other than theft of money and clothing mix-ups it is still a good care facility. And I would still recommend it.

My sister was in John J Kane Regional Center. As far as first impression, it was great. They got a really nice lobby and a courtyard outside. It was nice as far as the look. The rooms were kept very clean. Every day, they just come in and clean up; they do a good job at cleanliness. As far as the staff, some were great, and some were not. My sister did not like the food. The meals probably for her were just not adequate, but it was a very secure place for her.

My Dad fell several times, I ask one staff member what will they do to prevent this from happening again. Instead of saying they will keep a closer watch on him, she said they will lower the bed and give him the nurse bell. He fell again so I talked to another staff member Ms. Maryland (Mur-lynn) and she was outright rude . I ask her can they check on him more she said they don’t have cameras, bed alarms and they don’t restrain them. I didn’t ask her that just a little more time to check on him she told me if you want 24 hrs service for him take him out and pay someone to do it. So unprofessional and disrespectful.

If I could give zero stars I would. My brother due to health insurance was in this facility for over 2 years. Very rarely was there a caring nurse. My brother’s medications were late, his doctors appointments missed, generally overall lack of care. Know that you can demand a weekly care meeting for your loved one and/or intervention from a state ombudsman. If you have a loved one in this facility you MUST be vigilant in getting staff to adequately address their needs. My brother’s breathing issues were overlooked by the charge nurse for 3 days. When an aide caught it, my brother was taken by ambulance to mercy Hospital. He died of a lung infection 5 weeks later.if you can find another facility, please do so.

My husband is currently in the long- term care unit on the third floor. The nurses, therapists and aides as very caring and compassionate. The care they provide is exceptional and the therapists immediately got my husband a special cushion when he complained his backside bothered him. My husband is clean, his room is clean and the only thing he complains about is the food (but not all of the time). Thank you Tammy, Dave, Tim, Anita, Peter, Marybeth, Arthur, Gary, Theresa, Diane, Stacy, Ling, Jeff, Darryl and anyone I may have missed for taking good care of my husband. You are all amazing!

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
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.
