City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Number of inspections triggered by complaints or allegations. Useful for spotting facilities that receive frequent complaint-driven scrutiny.
Share of inspections that resulted in citations, expressed as a percentage of total inspections in the window.
Total count of citations (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.
The average number of citations this facility receives each time it's inspected, calculated as total citations ÷ total inspections. A lower number suggests more consistent compliance with safety and care standards.
Reported profit orientation for the operator or facility (e.g. for-profit vs nonprofit), as provided in state licensing or disclosure data.
Total daily staff count from Pennsylvania inspection/licensing data (headcount snapshot), when reported.
The total number of staff employed per resident. A number greater than or = to 1 is a positive care signal.
Reported or derived occupancy for the facility—typically how fully licensed capacity is utilized. Compare across peers in the same market.
Housing or bed configuration options (e.g. studio, shared), often from facility-reported amenities and licensing details.
Better Business Bureau grade for the operating company. Reflects complaint handling and business practices, not clinical care quality.

Overview of Paramount Senior Living at Bethel Park

Paramount Senior Living at Bethel Park runs 125 beds across a three-story building on Baptist Road in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. The care lineup is broad: nursing home care, assisted living, hospice, independent living, memory care, and respite care all live under one roof. That means a resident could, in theory, move through several stages of need without changing addresses.

Walkability sits on the lower end, Walk Score 34, so most errands here mean getting in a car rather than walking down the block. Occupancy runs at 78%, with 98 of the 125 beds currently filled, numbers that put this comfortably in the range of an established, actively operating community rather than a newer or struggling one.

Clinically, the ratio here is one nurse to every 24 residents, backed by staff around the clock. The wellness program goes deeper than a typical rehab offering: full physical therapy services, licensed therapists, and dedicated post-stroke and post-surgical tracks sit alongside restorative care. Add in specific programs for Alzheimer’s and dementia, skilled nursing, and outpatient rehab, and the medical infrastructure here looks built for residents with real, ongoing care needs, not just daily living support.

Life outside the clinical side includes a fitness center, barber and spa access, garden and patio space, and a private dining option alongside the main dining room, plus a steady calendar of social, educational, and spiritual programming with group transportation built in. State inspections here have tended to center on medication management and dietary and food service rather than broader care concerns.

Mr. James Cox owns the community, operating as Paramount Senior Living at Bethel Park LLC. Between the six-way care continuum, the nurse staffing ratio, and the depth of the rehab program, this reads as a facility built for residents whose medical needs run higher than a standard assisted living setting can typically support.

Overview of Concordia of Cranberry

Concordia of Cranberry offers assisted living and Residential Care in Mars, Pennsylvania. Personal care services include help with daily activities, including dressing, bathing, and taking medication. There are 84 beds. Residents can choose a private room or a semi-private room, depending on whether they want a room to themselves or feel comfortable sharing with someone else. The community may be a good fit for someone who needs help with daily activities and wants a choice between these room types.

A Walk Score of 39 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride. A resident who no longer drives would generally need transportation for those errands. An on-site salon and barber or beauty shop provide hair and personal grooming services within the community. Chef-inspired meals are served daily, so residents receive prepared dining without handling everyday meal preparation.

Staff can schedule medical appointments and provide transportation, helping residents get to those visits without arranging every ride themselves. The full calendar includes activities, special events, and outings, giving residents scheduled opportunities to join programs or leave the community for planned events. Chapel services, Bible studies, and hymn sings are available for residents who wish to take part in those religious activities. Concordia Lutheran Ministries Of Pittsburgh operates the community.

The range of care types may suit someone whose needs change over time, including a resident who may eventually need more support. Laurel View Village opened in 1992 and has 107 beds, with apartments and townhomes available as housing options. Pets are allowed, so residents may bring a pet when they move in.

Allegheny Christian Ministries operates Laurel View Village, and Tim Mock serves as director.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Pennsylvania

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Pennsylvania?

Assisted living in Pennsylvania supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Pennsylvania?

Assisted living in Pennsylvania is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover assisted living?

Pennsylvania Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Pennsylvania) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 458 assisted living facilities in Pennsylvania. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Pennsylvania?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Pennsylvania, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Pennsylvania?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
