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.
