Families looking for Personal Care Homes In Pittsburgh usually do not start their search in hopes to find the assisted living facility with:

The most citations or violations
The worst care history or
The highest staff turnover

Personal Care Homes In Pittsburgh are residences in which food, shelter, and personal assistance or supervision are provided for a period exceeding 24 hours, for four or more adults who are not relatives of the operator, who do not require the services in or of a licensed long-term care facility, but who do require assistance or supervision in ADLs or instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). The term includes a residence that has held or presently holds itself out as a personal care home and provides food and shelter to four or more adults who need personal care services, but who are not receiving the services.

A written contract is required between the home and the resident. Specific information must be included in the contract
such as: a fee schedule that lists the actual charges for each service; the party responsible for payment; refund policy; method of payment for long distance phone calls; arrangements for financial management; house rules; termination conditions; a list of personal care services to be provided based on the outcome of the support plan; bed hold charges; and a 30-day notice of changes in the contract. Additionally, upon admission each resident must be informed of residents' rights and complaint procedures available through the Department of Public Welfare. The facility may provide assistance with ADLs, IADLs, and medications. ADLs include eating, drinking, ambulating, transferring in and out of a bed or chair, toileting, bladder and bowel management, personal hygiene, securing health care, managing health care, self-administering medication, and proper turning and positioning in a bed or chair. IADLs include activities done on a behalf of a resident such as doing laundry, shopping, securing and using transportation, managing finances, using a telephone, making and keeping appointments, caring for personal possessions, writing correspondence, engaging in social and leisure activities, using a prosthetic device, and obtaining and keeping clean, seasonal clothing.

Pittsburgh (pronounced /ˈpɪtsbərɡ/) is the second-largest city in the U.S. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the county seat of Allegheny County. Regionally, it anchors the largest urban area of Appalachia[6] and the Ohio River Valley, and nationally, it anchors the 22nd largest urban area in the United States.[7][8] The estimated population of the city in 2009 was 311,647,[9] while the seven-county metropolitan area was estimated at 2,354,957.[10] Downtown Pittsburgh retains substantial economic influence, ranking at 25th in the nation for jobs within the urban core and 6th in job density.[11] The characteristic shape of Pittsburgh's central business district is a triangular tract carved by the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, which form the Ohio River. The city features 151 high-rise buildings,[12] 446 bridges,[13] two inclined railways, and a pre-revolutionary fortification. Pittsburgh is known colloquially as "The City of Bridges" and "The Steel City" for its many bridges and former steel manufacturing base.

While the city is historically known for its steel industry, today its economy is largely based on healthcare, education, technology, robotics, and financial services—the collapse of the steel industry was so complete that there are no steel mills left in Pittsburgh today.
