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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover memory care?

Pennsylvania Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 396 memory care communities in Pennsylvania. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care 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 memory care 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.
