Overview of The Pines of Mount Lebanon

The Pines of Mount Lebanon is an assisted living and memory care community on Washington Road in the Mount Lebanon area of Pittsburgh, operated by Integracare through Tithonus Mt. Lebanon LP. The setting is suburban but connected, with a Walk Score of 73 that puts everyday errands within reach on foot, and St. Clair Hospital sits under two miles away. That proximity matters for families weighing how quickly a resident could get to care, and how easily relatives can fold visits into a normal week.

The community is licensed for 112 beds and currently serves 66 residents, so daily life happens at a comfortable scale rather than a crowded one. Eighteen of those beds sit within a secured Alzheimer’s unit, which means a resident whose needs change over time can often stay in a familiar building rather than move to a new one. Housing comes in studio, one-bedroom, and semi-private configurations, with a minimum age of 55. Respite care is also offered, which suits families who need short-term coverage while a primary caregiver travels or recovers.

Staffing is a notable strength here. The community runs 96 total daily staff across its census, with 72 of those working waking hours, so hands-on support and supervision are steadily available through the parts of the day when residents are most active. Nearly half of current residents have a mobility need, and the staffing pattern reflects that level of assistance.

Pennsylvania state inspections of The Pines have touched on staffing and staff credentials, care planning and documentation, dietary and food service practices, and resident rights and protections. Inspection activity over time reflects strengthening compliance and incident handling. Families touring the community may want to ask how those areas are managed day to day.

Integracare operates multiple communities across the mid-Atlantic, which gives this location a larger organizational structure behind it. For a family looking in the South Hills, the combination of a walkable suburban address, hospital access, and both assisted living and memory care under one roof is the practical case.

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.

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.
