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 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.
