Senior Care Plaza

Senior Care Plaza sits in a quiet part of McKeesport, close to restaurants and shopping, just a short trip from downtown Pittsburgh, and it's family-owned with over 25 years of experience, so folks coming in will find a familiar, home-like atmosphere, which makes it easy to settle in; it's been around since 1992, providing care for adults 55 and over, and they allow some pets, so folks don't have to part with all their comforts. There's a focus on keeping people as independent as possible while making sure they're always safe, so the staff are there all day and night, with a 24-hour nurse call system if someone needs help. There's assisted living for those who want to keep living mostly on their own but might need a hand with things like medication, eating, bathing, or getting around, and memory care services for people dealing with Alzheimer's or dementia, with a secured unit for safety and activities that help with brain health, like music therapy, gardening, and games. The community has both private and semi-private rooms, wheelchair access, guest parking, smoker-friendly areas, and outdoor patios and gardens where folks can spend some time relaxing. Meal options include an open dining concept from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. with meals prepared by a licensed dietician, and they focus on foods that are good for the mind, plus community dining and high-speed WiFi for anyone who needs it. Laundry and housekeeping come included, and there are onsite haircuts, common rooms with TVs, devotional services offsite, and social activities both onsite and offsite to keep people active and connected. Memory care involves gentle reminders and visual cues, along with plans made for each person based on their story, so everyone gets what they need, and these plans are reviewed every now and then to make sure nobody is left behind. They offer respite care and short-term stays if someone just needs a break or some extra help for a little while, and the pricing is all-inclusive, but there's an entry fee. The place is licensed by the state, has a strong commitment to dignity and respect, and tries to treat everyone like family with the aim to support each person's mind, body, and spirit in a friendly, comfortable setting.
