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.
