Levels of Senior Care at UPMC

Our Levels of Care

When you’re looking for a senior living community, the different levels of care may be confusing. Our staff is committed to providing you with information about every level of support within our communities to help you make an informed decision.  

With well-appointed residences offering multiple levels of support, we’ll help you and your loved ones find the right place to fit your needs. We can even put you in touch with resources to help you organize your belongings and move right in.

Independent Living

For seniors who don’t need help with daily routines, independent living facilities provide a variety of floor plans, where residents provide their own furnishings, a car, or even a pet. Everything from delicious meals, housekeeping, and social events are included.

Assisted Living/Personal Care

For those who need help with activities of daily living, but do not need continuous nursing care, assisted living, sometimes called personal care, offers the assurance of excellent health care with the privacy of apartment living, and a comfortable lifestyle that promotes independence.

Memory Support

For those residents dealing with short-term memory loss and dementia-related illnesses, including Alzheimer’s disease, specialized memory support services are available.

Skilled Nursing

For those who need 24-hour nursing care and assistance, routine specialized care is available at each residence, with medical specialists on call 24 hours a day.

Continuing Care Retirement Communities

Offering a continuum of care based on one campus, these communities provide maintenance-free homes, assisted living apartments, skilled nursing care, and memory support, along with meals, activities, housekeeping, transportation, and 24-hour security. Some offer Life Care additional long-term care services provided for virtually no additional fee.
