In-Home Care for Highland Park Residents

In-home care in Highland Park typically starts with a phone call from a family member or a UPMC Shadyside discharge planner. Care Solutions schedules a home assessment within a day or two of that initial call. Our coordinator drives out to Highland Park, meets the loved one, and walks through the home with the family. We review medications, ADL needs, fall risk, dementia behaviors, and the layout of the home. The visit produces a written care plan, and the scheduling team matches a caregiver whose hours and skills suit the case. UPMC Shadyside is the closest UPMC hospital, with UPMC Presbyterian in Oakland a short drive south. AHN West Penn in Bloomfield and AHN Allegheny General on the North Shore handle AHN-network discharges. Highland Park has a long-tenured senior population, with many homeowners aging in place in large historic houses near the reservoir and zoo. Housing density is moderate, with bigger lots and porches along Bryant Street and North Highland Avenue. Common scenarios include post-discharge transition home, dementia care at home, live-in care in the larger homes, and ADL support for aging-in-place clients. The 75 and 91 bus routes provide caregiver transit, though most caregivers drive into the neighborhood. The intake team confirms payment sources on the first call, including CHC waiver, ACT 150, long-term care insurance, and private pay. Families can call (412) 341-7780, and care often begins within 48 hours of assessment.
