In-Home Care for Mount Washington Residents
In-home care in Mount Washington usually starts with a phone call from a family caregiver who needs help with a parent or spouse at home. Care Solutions schedules an intake visit within one to two days. Our coordinator drives up McArdle Roadway or Grandview Avenue, meets the loved one, and walks through the assessment. We review medication routines, ADL needs, fall history, and the home's stair layout, which matters on Mount Washington's hillside lots. From there we draft the care plan and match a caregiver to the case. Many Mount Washington seniors have lived in the neighborhood for decades, with a long-tenured population aging in place on streets above Grandview Park. UPMC Mercy on the Bluff is the closest UPMC hospital, reachable through the Liberty Tunnel. AHN Allegheny General on the North Shore handles AHN-network discharges, and Jefferson Hospital in Jefferson Hills serves South Hills referrals. Common scenarios include post-discharge transition home, dementia care, and ADL support during recovery from a fall. Public transit on the 40 and 44 bus routes, plus the Duquesne and Monongahela Inclines, gives caregivers without cars realistic access. The intake team verifies payment options on the first call, including Medicaid, the CHC waiver, ACT 150, long-term care insurance, and private pay. Families ready to begin can call (412) 341-7780, and a caregiver can usually start within 48 hours of the assessment in Mount Washington.

In-Home Care in Mount Washington — FAQ
How do caregivers get to Mount Washington clients given the hilltop access?
Our caregivers are familiar with Mount Washington's access routes — primarily McArdle Roadway from the South Side and Grandview Avenue from the west. Caregivers with personal vehicles navigate the hill regularly, and we schedule around weather conditions in winter when steep streets can be more difficult.
Can clients in Mount Washington use the Incline to get to medical appointments downtown?
The Monongahela and Duquesne Inclines are right in the neighborhood, and our caregivers can accompany clients on the Incline for downtown appointments or activities. For clients with mobility challenges, we also arrange ground transportation via McArdle Roadway to South Hills medical facilities like Jefferson Hospital.
What hospital is closest to Mount Washington for home care coordination?
Jefferson Hospital in Jefferson Hills is the primary hospital for South Hills residents including Mount Washington, and UPMC South Side on East Carson Street is very close via the South Side access roads. We coordinate with discharge planners at both facilities to arrange seamless care transitions.
Is in-home care affordable for Mount Washington seniors on fixed incomes?
Yes — we accept Medicaid, the Community HealthChoices (CHC) waiver, ACT 150, and private pay, so most Mount Washington seniors can access care regardless of income. We will help you determine your eligibility and find the most affordable coverage option for your situation.
