As part of UPMC Senior Communities, Cole Place offers a welcoming, home-like environment tailored to those who require skilled nursing care or rehabilitation services. The facility is designed to support residents who no longer require hospital-level medical care, but still need consistent, 24-hour assistance to manage daily life. The setting emphasizes comfort, with supportive services easily accessible to ensure residents feel safe and well cared for throughout their stay.
Residents of Cole Place benefit from seamless access to a range of hospital-based services including emergency care, laboratory services, and radiology, making it a convenient and secure option for individuals with ongoing or complex health needs. The staff at Cole Place comprises a team of dedicated professionals who collaborate to enhance the quality of life for each individual. These caregivers address physical, psychological, and social needs, developing care plans that aim to return residents to their highest possible level of independence. Comprehensive, individualized care is overseen by a board-certified medical director, who works closely with each resident’s physician to ensure continuity and effectiveness of care.
One of the core strengths of Cole Place is its focus on rehabilitation. The unit features an exceptional rehabilitation team composed of physical, occupational, and speech therapists, all working diligently to help residents regain or improve function.
