In-Home Care for Shadyside Residents

In-home care in Shadyside often begins with a referral from UPMC Shadyside, which sits inside the neighborhood on Centre Avenue. The discharge planner contacts Care Solutions, and our intake team schedules a home assessment within 24 hours. During that visit we evaluate the loved one's medical history, ADL needs, fall risk, and the layout of the home. We then write a care plan and match a caregiver whose experience aligns with the case. Many Shadyside cases involve post-surgical recovery, dementia support, or ADL assistance for clients aging in place. UPMC Presbyterian in Oakland is a short drive south, and AHN West Penn in Bloomfield handles AHN-network patients on the same intake calls. Shadyside has a mixed senior population, including longtime homeowners and condo residents along South Aiken and Ellsworth Avenue. Housing density is moderate, with a mix of single-family homes, townhouses, and apartment buildings. Caregivers reach clients reliably by car, by the 71 bus lines, or by the East Busway, which keeps staffing predictable across shifts. The intake team confirms payment sources at the first call, including long-term care insurance, the CHC waiver, and private pay. Care plans range from a few hours of companion care each week to round-the-clock live-in support. Families can start the process by calling (412) 341-7780, and caregivers can typically begin within 24 to 48 hours of the assessment visit in Shadyside.
