The 90-bed nursing home and assisted living community sits in a low-walkability area (Walk Score 34), so transportation planning matters for families and visitors.
Fifty-four of 90 beds are currently filled; a 60% occupancy rate. The average length of stay is 86 days, which puts this in short-to-medium-stay territory rather than exclusively long-term.
Memory care is the facility’s clearest organizational priority.

It’s an Integracare-operated assisted living facility with 112 beds, 18 of which are dedicated to a secured Alzheimer’s unit. The Walk Score of 73 makes it genuinely walkable for a suburban Pittsburgh address.
Current occupancy is 59%, with 66 residents in a building licensed for 112. That gap between capacity and census is something families may want to ask about directly when touring. The facility runs 96 total daily staff against that 66-resident census. Housing spans studio, one-bedroom, and semi-private configurations; minimum age is 55.
Pennsylvania state inspections of The Pines have touched on staffing and staff credentials, care planning and documentation, dietary and food service, and resident rights and protections. Those are areas worth asking about in a tour conversation.
The case for this facility is geographic and structural: it’s in a walkable Pittsburgh suburb, near a hospital, and offers both assisted living and memory care under one roof with an operator that runs multiple communities across the mid-Atlantic.

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.
