Lighthouse Pointe Village at Chapel Harbor is a retirement community in O'Hara Township, Pittsburgh, sitting right on the banks of the Allegheny River where you can see lots of pretty views and enjoy being close to parklets and a lively town square that make things feel friendly and pleasant. The facility has a four-story building filled with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments that let in natural light and have big closets and fully equipped kitchens, while independent seniors can also pick from private homes, townhouses, or condos, so you get quite a bit of choice depending on how much space you want or how much help you might need. People who live here get a worry-free lifestyle with all their utilities and cable TV included in the rent, and there's no need to stress over snow shoveling or plumbing since there's maintenance and managers on-site seven days a week and all hours of the day and night.
A professional team works to cover your needs, from certified nurse practitioners and registered nurses to licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants, so there's always help for folks who need 24-hour skilled nursing, rehabilitation, or even memory care for those living with Alzheimer's or similar conditions. The care lets people who just need a little help-a hand with daily activities maybe-or those who need assisted living, benefit from trained staff without losing their independence, with personalized care options for whatever stage they're in. There are also services from personal care assistants, walking and wheelchair assistance, and supported living linked into a respected health system, which means you don't have to travel far or worry too much about medical needs.
Social life is part of daily living, so there are arts and crafts classes, group education, health and wellness programs, and religious services in the non-denominational chapel, plus a full calendar packed with all kinds of activities, meals together in a dining room with rotating menus and extended hours, and private dining rooms to use with family. Residents can use a fitness center, game and activities rooms, wifi, a beauty salon and barbershop, laundry and dry cleaning services, and there's a well-stocked convenience store for everyday needs. Transportation is available, so getting to appointments or shopping is straightforward, and a van can take you out for errands or group outings. The upkeep is planned so the grounds and courtyards look inviting, with easy access to outdoor spaces, Florida rooms, gardening spots, and scenic river views.
Housekeeping and linen services keep things tidy, and there are many safety features like handrails, sprinklers, and handicap-accessible spaces. Guests can visit and stay in a comfortable guest apartment, and parking is available, so seeing friends and family is simple. The apartments have enough storage for most folks, so there's room for personal things while keeping the space uncluttered. Lighthouse Pointe Village aims to help residents stay as independent as possible while providing care, connections, and services that let them focus more on enjoying life, whether it's joining a group activity, going out to the parklets, or just sitting by the window and taking in views of the river. The setting along the waterfront offers calm, and being close to downtown Pittsburgh gives easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment, which older adults often appreciate. The community is managed by Oakdale Seniors Alliance and is part of the Boncrest Resource Group.
