Memory Care

UPMC Senior Communities offers memory care services in both personal care and skilled nursing and rehabilitation settings. We can help you determine the best setting based upon the individual’s physical needs and extent of memory impairment.

Staff members receive ongoing training to provide the best quality of life for individuals with memory impairment while also tending to residents’ additional physical, emotional and social needs. Attentive medical and personal care and meaningful activity are informed by UPMC’s expertise in geriatric and memory care. We use a person-centered therapy that utilizes non-verbal communication techniques to improve interactions with those living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.

We provide a secure home-like environment that supports inclusion while encouraging personalized space.


Questions About COVID-19? Families Can Use Our New Email Option

We have established a special email point of contact for families of UPMC Senior Communities residents to help address questions during the COVID-19 outbreak. If you have a family member who resides at one of our Senior Communities facilities, you can email us at seniorcommunities@upmc.edu related to the current circumstance. Please put “COVID-19” in the subject line of the email. We will respond as quickly as possible.

You may still call the facility with which you are connected should you have questions. This email is intended to provide an additional means of communication for our Senior Communities families during this challenging time.
