Overview of A Personal Touch Home Care Services

Pittsburgh’s South Side Flats sits about 1.3 miles from downtown, and it’s the kind of neighborhood where you genuinely don’t need a car for daily errands; the Walk Score here comes in at 91. That’s where A Personal Touch Home Care Services operates out of, at 19 Bedford Square, and the agency has been doing this work for 11 years now.

What “this work” actually means: help with the stuff that gets harder with age. Bathing, dressing, personal care, the daily basics. Meal planning and light housekeeping too, plus errands that pile up when someone can’t easily get out anymore. There’s also a Family Learning Center built into what they offer, and respite care for the family members who’ve been doing this caregiving thing solo and need a break.

Office hours run Monday through Friday, 8 to 5, but availability stretches to 24 hours for clients who need that level of support. Medicaid is accepted here, which matters a lot for families trying to figure out how coverage actually works before they commit to anything.

One thing worth understanding upfront: home care agencies like this one don’t operate under the same inspection and certification framework that licensed residential facilities do. What this agency is set up for is straightforward: helping someone stay in their own home, in a walkable, well-located part of Pittsburgh, with support that scales from a few hours a week up to around-the-clock care.

Frequently Asked Questions about Senior Communities in Pennsylvania

What is senior living?

Senior communities are residential settings designed for adults aged 55 or older, with options ranging from active independent living to assisted living and memory care.

How many senior communities are listed on this page?

This page features 646 senior communities in Pennsylvania. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right senior community 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 senior communities 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.
