Recent reviews of Independent Living in Pittsburgh, PA
Paramount Senior Living of Peters Township in McMurray, PA
4.6

We've had a good experience. The people are very friendly and helpful. Their staff seems to be pretty comparable in staff-to-patient ratio. On the weekends it could be better, but it's pretty good overall. When my loved one pushes her call button, she's seen in a pretty timely measure. And we get notified very quickly if something goes wrong. It's very expensive, but all in all, it's been a good experience. They have a lot of great activities. We feel she's safe there. And she is happy and thriving.

The Residence at Bethel Park
3.1

The person we spoke with in the beginning was great, she gave us a great tour of the community so we had an excellent first impression. All of the residents our loved one spoke with while she was there all seemed to have great and positive things to say. The community is very clean and the meals are good.
