Looking for an Assisted Living Community in Pittsburgh? Consider a Personal Care Community For Your Loved One

When the time has come to choose a facility for a loved one who needs daily assistance, the choices can be a little confusing. What type of community would serve their needs best? What amenities and care options do you want them to have access to?

The Haven at North Hills Personal Care and Memory Care Facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, embraces seniors in need of assistance with daily activities, personal care, or memory care. The Haven is not an assisted living facility, but rather a luxury personal care and memory care community that can give you complete peace of mind that your loved one is safe, happy, and healthy.

The Haven goes beyond assisted living

Much like a traditional assisted living community, The Haven offers access to medical care, health and wellness programming, emergency call systems, and 24-hour staff supervision to keep your loved one safe and healthy. The community also offers housekeeping, laundry services, social activities, an and all-day gourmet dining program providing three meals a day.

But the Haven at North Hills Senior Residence also offers some benefits that traditional assisted living communities may not offer, including specialized programming designed to enhance the lives of those with memory impairment, kitchen-free apartments to reduce stress and improve safety for residents, and safety checks from qualified staff.

Daily Rhythm Programming enriches residents’ lives

At The Haven, a certified Life Enrichment Director leads the residents in engaging daily activities, weekly on-site social events, and fun cultural excursions as part of a researched-backed health and wellness program. The community’s activities focus on four key pillars of enrichment: Social connection, spiritual support, emotional expression, and intellectual discovery.

To ensure residents receive ample social connection, activities are offered in both large and small group settings that encourage opportunities for socialization, relationship-building, and community amongst residents and team members.

The community also provides residents with spiritual support by recognizing and embracing the needs of each residents’ spirituality through music, discussion, prayer, affirmations, nature, and other diverse means.

The Haven creates opportunities for residents to engage in past passions like art therapy, cooking projects, volunteerism, vocational skills, reminiscing, doll therapy, music therapy, and pet therapy visits.

Finally, the staff promotes brain cognition with educational activities that reflect the interests of the residents’ past professions, lifestyles, and hobbies.

Special Memory Care programming serves those with memory challenges

Traditional nursing homes or assisted living facilities are equipped to handle persons with assisted living needs, but they lack the staff training and infrastructure needed to nurture those with memory challenges such as dementia or Alzheimer’s. In contrast, as dedicated personal care and memory care facility, the Haven takes a holistic approach to provide the very best care for your loved one experiencing memory challenges.

The Haven combines Person-Centered Care with an extensive Memory Care Life Enrichment Program that encompasses the six Sunshine Pillars of Wellness through physical, social, emotional, cognitive, sensory, and spiritual nurturing. This specialized programming enables your loved one to live life to the fullest in a safe and secure environment.

Memory care at The Haven includes research-backed activities such as music therapy, where residents can experience era-specific music to bring back fond memories and decrease anxiety. Residents also experience the community’s Life Skills Stations, where miniature kitchens, faux engines, and mailboxes are among the many real-life scenarios and work the residents did in their youth. The community’s specialized memory care programming also includes socialization, validation techniques, spiritual support, and health and wellness activities.

When looking for a warm, comfortable community for a loved one who needs daily assistance or memory care, look no further than The Haven at North Hills Personal Care and Memory Care Facility and its caring, professional staff.
