Overview of The Haven at North Hills Senior Residence

Located at 1 Windsor Way in Pittsburgh’s North Hills, The Haven at North Hills Senior Residence has operated for 7 years under The Haven at North Hills LLC, with Kelly Vaccaro serving as director. 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. The HOPE BLOOMS™ Life Enrichment Program is the named framework for resident engagement; a holistic memory care program built around stimulating activities. Allegheny Village, an on-site secured dementia care unit with 24 beds, serves residents who need a more contained environment. Daily support services include assistance with bathing, grooming, oral care, medication management, housekeeping, and routine daily tasks.

Nursing coverage runs at 4 hours and 39 minutes of total care per resident per day. Registered nurses account for 41 minutes of that, with around-the-clock staffing in place. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

State inspections have tended to focus on medication management as the primary operational theme.

At 90 beds with a dedicated dementia unit, the HOPE BLOOMS™ program, and Medicare and Medicaid acceptance, The Haven at North Hills is best suited to older adults with Alzheimer’s or dementia whose families want a purpose-built memory care environment in the Pittsburgh area.

Overview of The Pines of Mount Lebanon

The Pines of Mount Lebanon sits on Washington Road in the Mount Lebanon area of Pittsburgh, 8.8 miles from the city center and 1.83 miles from St. Clair Hospital. 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.

The 59% occupancy and the inspection themes remain present as observable limiting considerations alongside the facility advantages.
