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.

Vincentian Home is wonderful. It’s like the Taj Mahal. I took my mother’s sister there. It was just amazingly wonderful. For a while, there were a lot of nuns there, and one little nun had a multiple sclerosis, and she would come around in her wheelchair and she’d say to my aunt, "Anna, would you like to have a little party today? Would you like a little ice cream?" This is like off the wall in the afternoons at times there. She would do the sweetest things and she herself was handicapped, but it was lovely there. It was so nice and very clean, and meals were amazing.

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.

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.

A loved one is at Manorcare Health Services-North Hills. She is not getting treatment over there at all. She is pretty smart and aware of what’s happening, but they are not rehabbing her. She was capable to walk and go to the bathroom before she moved to that facility. Now, they are just dumping her right there and they are not helping her out. We are not able to see what is going on over there because she’s complaining that she’s getting abused, and they’re not even allowing us to leave Alexa or any device that will enable us to monitor how they’re treating her. It’s nursing 24 hours, but the quality of the treatment is not.
The room is awful; I see it because we go behind the window. I understand the COVID situation, but that doesn’t mean that she has to be treated like an animal behind the glass. We go behind the glass and I’m screaming to talk to her from outdoor. The quality of the room or accommodation over there is not good. I was inside one time, I made an appointment to visit with her, and I was not really impressed at all. She also complains about the food. They do nothing, so if she is bored, she just hangs around the aisle on the corridors. It’s not a pleasant place.
What is the reason that they do not want you to have a device like Alexa or a camera to be able to communicate with your loved one? They’re hiding things from people. They don’t want us to see how she’s being treated, and there’s no way for us to find out; that’s very upsetting.

The Heritage Shadyside is very nice, and I’m very happy. My brother-in-law has adjusted well there and just the whole atmosphere is one of wanting to help. They have a chef, so the food looks wonderful, smells good, and has been very edible. There aren’t any complaints from the people about the food. 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.

My mother was a patient of the nursing home for 4yrs. I’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly of this establishment. First the good, the receptionist (Joan) was wonderful! Always had a smile and kind words to say to me and my family. That’s it for the good.
The administration and drs. cares nothing about their patients, nor knows their needs. Prime example, I questioned the dr on my mothers medications and why she was on certain ones. Mind you, I called left a message so he would have had ample time to review her chart and answer my questions. When he called back I asked why she was on particular medications, to which he answered "I don’t know," the previous dr put her on them. Hmmm yet you are suppose to be caring for her. She went through a 2 month spell where she was having severe memory loss and hallucinations, when I questioned it I was told maybe the cancer was going to her brain…mind you she just had a PET scan that was clear a week prior. Then the dr proceeded to tell me if the cancer doesnt get her the COPD will. Nice. After arguing demanded a full work up…turns out she had a UTI! After medicine she was back to herself. Let’s talk nursing staff. Most of the aids are useless..although she did a have few that really cared about her, and for that I am grateful. The nurses are short staffed and overworked. Once when I was there we rang her buzzer and it took 25 minutes for anybody to come. While attending my fathers funeral, someone came in her room and stole money, and jewelry. Susan the administrator was useless. The social worker is a gossip and a kiss butt to the administration. They changed the cable and it took a PHd to figure out how to use it. Yes, I called the corporate office in North Hills and complained. That was a waste of a call. They were getting my mothers entire social security so they could care less. Finally, when my mother got sick and couldnt breath it took 20min for a nurse to come to her room and call an ambulance. She couldn’t breath! Unfortunately my mother passed away 3 days later. She hated this place…I’m glad she didn’t have to die there. One more note…i called the home on a Friday (the afternoon that she passed), explained I would be there Sunday to clean her room and get her belongings. Susan had the nerve to have a nurse call me that Sunday morning and ask when I was coming..didn’t i call and say I would be there Sunday after I made all arrangements??? She is arrogant, rude and has no place in that position. My mother was a paycheck to them not a person. I called the social worker to ask if she knew any available options to help me pay for the funeral since my mom had nothing, her suggestion was i could donate her body to the state and they would return her ashes to me. IS THIS WHERE YOU WANT TO PLACE YOUR LOVED ONE???? All I say is beware of this place…they act like all patients are family but they are not.

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.

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.

Please do not choose this facility especially is the "representative" comes to the hospital room with a sales pitch. That’s exactly what it is, sales for a profit organization. Lack of communication on every level at the organization. Lack of sufficient or trained staff. Many times no hot water for bathing. My mother is consistently dehydrated from lack of water, food is late, no menu options or menu, never received her medication on a schedule, clothing worn by others, etc. This was before the Covid-19. She is there for rehab after emergency surgery at the end of last year. At this rate, lack of consistent therapy and basic care, she may never leave well or the alternative. Rooms are crowded and dirty. Many rooms originally for one resident, not two. If you care for your loved one, don’t send them here.

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.
