4 / 5.0

I was in this community for a short time. the staff was nice and caring and helpful. I liked the meals that were served. They do offer activities to the residents that want to participate. This was a nice community and families might want to tour to see if this is what they are looking for.

5 / 5.0

I would say it's a very nice residence and the apartment is new and fresh. It's a small community with a family feeling. My mother felt comfortable there that's why we chose it.

4 / 5.0

My loved one was at Paramount at Cranberry on hospice for a brief time after a medical decline. They were a bright spot for our family during a very dark time.

Costs of memory care in the Pittsburgh area

Our partner Pittsburgh memory care facilities cost an average of $5,500 per month, according to A Place for Mom’s 2022-2023 proprietary data.[01] This figure takes into account the cost of room and board, care costs, and add-on fees for items like parking and pet care. This amount paints a better picture of what families actually pay for one of our partner Pittsburgh memory care facilities.

Residents in memory care facilities have access to more extensive services, like round-the-clock awake staff, specialized therapies and activities, and increased security measures. This tends to make monthly rent more expensive than other types of senior care communities. Memory care services, specialized staff, and safety measures are usually factored into the baseline rent along with other services, like the following:

  • Housekeeping and laundry
  • Transportation
  • Meal plans, including snacks
  • Medication management
  • Assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs)

You’ll notice the numbers below look a bit different than our proprietary figure above. The following figures account for baseline memory care costs only and don’t include any add-ons that families may choose upon moving in. You can use the figures below to compare starting costs of memory care communities across the greater Pittsburgh area.

How people pay for memory care in Pittsburgh

Families often use a combination of private assets and public benefit options to subsidize the costs of long-term memory care. This section outlines several different options that could be put towards the cost of memory care in Pittsburgh. You’ll find a variety of private payment examples, as well as public benefits such as Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits.

Private pay methods

Before exploring public benefit options, many families often weigh what personal assets they have on hand to pay for memory care in Pittsburgh. The availability and amount of private funds available varies from family to family. For many, private payment methods come from retirement income, investment returns, and personal savings. Other sources may include additional assets and resources as a means to pay for an ideal memory care community, such as those listed below.

Number of veterans living in Pittsburgh in 2022

About 81% of Pittsburgh’s veteran population is age 55 and older.

Eligible veterans and their surviving spouses may qualify for certain disability benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Some of these veteran-specific disability benefits, like the Aid and Attendance benefit, can be used to pay for memory care in Pittsburgh. Aid and Attendance is a generous benefit that can help with some or all of the costs of memory care, like rent, care services, and meals, as it can be used for anything that improves a senior’s quality of life.

Eligibility for veterans benefits

Various VA benefit programs could be available to veterans or their surviving spouses. Eligibility requirements can often be confusing to navigate. This is why speaking with a veteran benefits counselor is the best way to understand eligibility before applying. If you want to make sure your loved one doesn’t miss out on any benefits, it’s in their best interest to reach out to a local veterans service office (VSO) for VA benefit advice.

Pittsburgh veterans service organizations (VSOs)

Many veterans and families often feel overwhelmed and confused when applying for veterans benefits. Fortunately, several veterans service organizations (VSOs) in Pittsburgh can help veterans and families apply for benefits they may qualify for. Many of these VSOs are located at the Pittsburgh VA Regional Office. VSOs in Pittsburgh include the following organizations:

  • American Legion
  • Pittsburgh Paralyzed Veterans of America
  • American Veterans (AMVETS)
  • Disabled American Veterans (DAV)
  • Veterans of Foreign War (VFW)

Additionally, you can also reach out to the Allegheny County Veterans’ Services office and the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veteran Affairs (PADMVA) to get help applying for state-specific benefits. You can find the contact information for the above organizations, other local VSOs, and online veterans benefit guides in the resources below.

Medicaid

Pennsylvania’s state-managed Medicaid program — Medical Assistance (MA) — may pay for some memory care costs at a senior care facility through their home and community based services (HCBS) waiver programs. You can also find a full list of other MA home and community based services waiver programs on the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services website.

The Community HealthChoices (CHC) is a Medicaid-managed care program that helps eligible seniors access long-term services and supports (LTSS) that aren’t normally covered by MA. The CHC program coordinates and oversees recipients’ health care coverage with managed care organizations (MCOs) to make sure participants have access to needed services. We outline more details about this particular program below.

Community HealthChoices (CHC) waiver

The Community HealthChoices (CHC) waiver helps eligible seniors and disabled adults access services from within their homes or community to avoid nursing home placement. To qualify for a CHC waiver, individuals must need a nursing home level of care, be dual-eligible for Medicaid and Medicare (or receiving LTSS through an HCBS waiver), and be age 65+ (or 21+ with a disability).[03] While a CHC waiver doesn’t cover the room and board costs of memory care, it does cover several long-term services such as the following:[04]

  • Behavior therapy
  • Personal care (help with activities of daily living, meal preparation, etc.)
  • Cognitive rehabilitation therapy
  • Medical equipment and supplies
  • Assistive technology (walkers, listening devices, etc.)
Applying for Medical Assistance (MA)

Whether you prefer online, in-person, or over the phone, Pennsylvania has several different ways you or a loved one can apply for Medicaid.

  • Apply online via the COMPASS website.
  • Visit your local county assistance office (CAO) for in-person applications.
  • Call 866-550-4355 to apply over the phone.
  • Download an application from the Pennsylvania DHS website and mail it to your local county assistance office.
Help with Pennsylvania Medicaid

The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) has a dedicated helpline for COMPASS and benefits assistance. You can also reach out to the Pennsylvania Health Law Project, which is a nonprofit legal service that can help senior clients with Medicaid benefits and eligibility issues. One of the local Allegheny County assistance offices can also provide Medicaid support in person or over the phone.

Medicare

Medicare is the federal health insurance for seniors age 65+ and disabled individuals. The program is designed to help pay for short-term health care costs and medical expenses such as inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing care, and hospice care. It doesn’t help with any of the custodial costs related to memory care such as room and board and personal care support. Some specific memory care costs may be covered by Medicare for eligible seniors like cognitive assessments, care planning, and medications.

Medicare savings programs in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania offers options that may be able to help seniors lower some out-of-pocket expenses. Medicare cost-savings programs like Extra Help — also called the Part D low-income subsidy — and the Medicare Savings Program (MSP) can be used to help eligible individuals pay for costs such as Medicare premiums, deductibles, and prescriptions. Visit the Pennsylvania Department of Aging website to find out more about Pennsylvania’s Medicare cost-savings programs, eligibility, and how to apply.

Medicare benefits counseling

Pennsylvania offers free Medicare counseling through the Pennsylvania Medicare Education and Decision Insight (also called PA-MEDI). PA-MEDI has trained counselors available to help you understand your loved one’s Medicare coverage and provide information on other topics that include benefits, eligibility, and Medicare savings programs. You can either call the PA-MEDI helpline or contact the Allegheny County Area Agency on Aging to get in touch with a PA-MEDI counselor. You can also look up and contact your local Social Security Administration for Medicare help.

Understand Pennsylvania laws and regulations for memory care facilities

Pittsburgh memory care facilities — as well as assisted living facilities that offer dedicated dementia care units — are regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services. The department’s Office of Long-Term Living (OLTL) licenses these types of facilities and conducts annual inspections to make sure state-licensed facilities are following Pennsylvania’s laws and regulations for assisted living and personal care homes. Both types of facilities can offer memory care, but personal care homes don’t provide full-time nursing home care like assisted living residences. Facilities licensed as personal care homes are regulated a little differently.

Since seniors with Alzheimer’s don’t usually require full-time nursing care, we’re focusing on regulations in place for personal care homes that offer memory care. Pennsylvania’s regulations and requirements for personal care homes are all available online, but we outline some distinct measures in place for memory care facilities below. You can find inspection reports for all licensed assisted living and memory care facilities on the Human Services provider directory search form. There, you can search for personal care homes and assisted living communities by directly entering a facility name or by selecting a specific county or region to review all licensed providers.

Admission requirements

Pre-admission screenings are required to make sure a prospective resident’s care needs can be met in the facility. Personal care homes will generally not admit residents with extensive care needs, like round-the-clock skilled nursing or ventilator dependency. A physician or licensed health professional must provide a written medical assessment before admission to a secured dementia unit. This assessment needs to be provided within 60 days of admission to a facility and must determine the prospective resident’s dementia diagnosis and need for memory care.

Resident care

Residents in a memory care facility or secured dementia unit must undergo a pre-admission cognitive assessment within 72 hours of admission. An annual evaluation should confirm their need for memory care, and their support plan must be established and updated annually to note any changes to a resident’s condition. It must also indicate the individual needs of each resident and designate a person who should be involved with their support plan.

Resident transfers

Any memory care facility or personal care home that transfers a resident must provide a 30-day notice with the reasons for the release outlined. There are limited circumstances that call for the transfer of a resident from a facility. These include if a resident is a threat to themselves or others, a resident’s needs can’t be met in the community, or if payments haven’t been made.[05]

Safety features

While many memory care facilities have enhanced safety features, like wander prevention systems and enclosed courtyards, Pennsylvania doesn’t require communities to have dementia-safety features. Some secured dementia units may have security systems to deter unexpected exits, but they must have permission from the Department of Labor and Industry to have such security measures. Any memory care facility with a locking system that prohibits residents from exiting must confirm it will shut down in the event of emergency situations. For example, in the event of a power outage or an activation of a fire alarm, there should be a system override in place that uses a keypad or other device.

All personal care homes must follow specific fire safety procedures. There must be at least two accessible exits on every floor. Automatic smoke detectors must be located within 15 feet of every bedroom door, and all smoke detectors and fire alarms should be tested monthly. Additionally, there must be an operable fire extinguisher on each floor, and it can only be locked away if the extinguisher poses a safety risk to residents. However, all extinguishers must be accessible to staff members.

Staff training and requirements

An orientation on fire safety and emergency preparedness must be completed by every direct staff member before their first day of work. They must also annually undergo 12 hours of training on topics related to their job duties, like caring for residents with dementia and personal care services.

Additionally, all direct care memory care staff working in a secured dementia unit are required to complete an annual 6 hours of dementia care training. Pittsburgh memory care facilities don’t have a minimum staff-to-resident ratio requirement, but they’re required to have sufficient staff available to meet the needs of each resident. Pennsylvania regulations also require at least one staff member trained in CPR and first aid to be available for every 50 residents.[05]

COVID-19 regulations for Pittsburgh memory care facilities

Pittsburgh memory care facilities may have COVID-19 policies that vary on a community-by-community basis, but many follow the guidance set at the state level. As of June 2023, Pennsylvania doesn’t have any set COVID-19 mandates in place for memory care facilities. But some communities may have their own precautions in place that are stricter than the state’s. You should contact a prospective community directly to see what current COVID-19 measures may be in place.

Masking.

There’s no mask mandate in Pennsylvania, but some memory care facilities may require residents, staff, and visitors to wear masks in indoor public settings.

Vaccines.

All residents, staff, and visitors of senior care facilities are encouraged to stay current on COVID-19 vaccines and boosters.

Quarantining.

Residents with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 infection should isolate in a single-person room with a bathroom for at least 10 days, depending on symptom severity and duration.

What to expect from memory care in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh memory care facilities are designed to provide a safe living environment for residents with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. You can expect to find secured living spaces, specialized programs and therapies, and enhanced safety measures at most of A Place for Mom’s partner memory care facilities. Read on for just a few of the features, amenities, and services you’ll likely find at one of our partner memory care facilities in Pittsburgh.

Person-centered care

Most of our partner memory care facilities in Pittsburgh pride themselves on offering person-centered care, meaning care that’s tailored to the needs of each individual. Person-centered memory care also consists of dedicated activities and programs for residents with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia. These programs are designed to keep residents interested and engaged, such as reminiscence and sensory-based programs, as well as light therapy.

Comforting surroundings

Many Pittsburgh memory care facilities aim to provide not just a safe environment, but a homelike atmosphere. Some communities include neighborhood-like grounds for residents to explore, with secured common areas like indoor walking paths, enclosed courtyards, and specialized systems to prevent wandering.

You’ll also find Pittsburgh memory care facilities offer a variety of floor plans, ranging from private studios and suites to semi-private rooms. Most memory care suites also feature a private bathroom, and the majority of our partner communities have wheelchair-accessible showers. Some memory care suites even feature customizable memory display cases that residents can personalize with photos and other memorabilia at the entrance.

Different care types on-site

About half of A Place for Mom’s partner memory care communities are within a facility that also offers assisted living. Residents in memory care usually live in separate wings or neighborhoods within the greater community. Residents in memory care generally enjoy the same amenities and services as those in assisted living, such as daily meals and activities. Additionally, memory care residents enjoy access to resources and services that include enhanced security features and round-the-clock awake staff.

Specialized memory care support

The specially trained staff at memory care facilities are qualified to provide a wealth of supportive therapies and resources to residents. Communities often collaborate and communicate with families about their loved one’s care plans, so care services can be tailored to individual personalities. You can expect an individualized, person-centered care plan at our memory care partners, fortified with specialized, tried and true care techniques and therapies.

Pittsburgh is also very much a dementia-friendly community, with several local resources available for seniors and their families. For example, University of Pittsburgh’s Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center has education and counseling services for patients with dementia and their families. The Alzheimer’s Association Greater Pittsburgh also offers support groups and educational programs for families with loved ones living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Seniors in memory care facilities can also reach out to the Allegheny County ombudsman for help with facility complaints and information about long-term care services.

Transportation for seniors in Pittsburgh

Over half of our partner memory care facilities in Pittsburgh have on-site transportation, either complimentary or at-cost depending on the community. Since riding public transportation alone and driving aren’t safe ways for seniors with dementia to get around, on-site transportation is essential to help them get to and from places like medical appointments.

Door-to-door senior transportation in Pittsburgh
