Serenity at Lgar is a newly licensed 40-bed personal care home at 800 Elsie Street in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania, in Allegheny County east of Pittsburgh. The facility offers memory care, rehabilitation, and respite services and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. 24-hour staffing is confirmed.
CMS rates the community 3 stars, driven by a staffing sub-rating 73.7 percent below Pennsylvania’s average. Nurse hours run 4h 4m per resident daily against a state average of 4h 35m. The facility’s single inspection on August 20, 2025, as an original licensing visit with no residents yet, identified seven deficiencies related to safety and emergency preparedness: carbon monoxide detector issues, obstructed egress routes, and lint accumulation in dryers. No complaints, enforcement actions, and resident-care findings appear on record. Occupancy data and a multi-year compliance track record are still unavailable given the facility’s recent licensing.
Programs include recuperation and rehabilitation and restoration services.
The facility is best for residents seeking memory care or short-term rehabilitation in Allegheny County, with availability expected given its early operational stage.
Serenity at Lgar is legally operated by Lgarpa Corp.
In Pennsylvania, the Department of Human Services (for assisted living facilities) and the Department of Health (for nursing homes) conduct unannounced inspections to verify adherence to state regulations.

The most recent inspection on August 20, 2025, identified several deficiencies related to safety and emergency preparedness in this newly licensed personal care home. Earlier inspections were not available for comparison, so the broader inspection pattern is unclear. Inspectors cited issues including missing or undated carbon monoxide detector batteries, uncovered trash receptacles, obstructed emergency exits, lack of proper emergency preparedness documentation, and lint accumulation in dryers. No complaint investigations or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Since this was the initial licensing inspection, no trend in compliance can yet be determined.
