Highland Park Care Center, located in the Highland Park area of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a 144-bed senior care facility that's part of the Saber Healthcare Group, and it serves both local residents and people from several states across the Eastern United States. This care center focuses on nursing care, assisted living, memory care, and retirement living, so people can get help no matter their needs, whether they need short-term rehab, long-term care, or just a safe and supportive place to live. The care center provides both private and semi-private rooms, and around-the-clock staff, including doctors, nurses, and therapists, help folks with daily tasks, health checks, wound care, medication help, and therapy like physical or occupational therapy, with the aim to let people participate in everyday life as much as possible.
A key part of Highland Park Care Center is their Progressive Approach to Home (PATH) Program, which uses evidence-based plans to help patients recover and return home quickly and safely, and their team keeps in touch to be sure people know what's happening throughout care and recovery. The Center for the Memory Impaired gives special attention and activities for seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia and staff work day and night to offer extra support for cognitive challenges, even teaching and supporting family members and caregivers of folks with memory issues, so families aren't left to figure things out alone. The facility also offers respite care for short-term stays, hospice care, and a pre-registration program that makes planning easier before surgery.
Highland Park Care Center offers several services and amenities to help make life better, like transportation, laundry, help with dressing and grooming, housekeeping, kitchens or kitchenettes, washers and dryers, safety and handicap features, and cable TV. The building includes a fitness center, activities room, WiFi, and guest parking. Residents can spend time outside on three large balconies overlooking the neighborhood, though the lobby could use some updates and the dining area feels outdated and not very comfortable for visitors or families.
People with Medicaid or Medicare can get financial help here, since the center's a licensed skilled nursing facility that meets state safety rules and keeps a required number of caregivers for all residents. The staff prides themselves on compassionate care, and the occupational therapy and specialty rehabilitation programs help folks improve speech or mobility after illness or injury. Highland Park Care Center focuses on giving each person attention based on their personal needs, so seniors can feel safe, supported, and as independent as possible in a place that puts health, wellbeing, and comfortable living first.
