The Benefits of a Continuing Care Retirement Community

Our CCRC model provides security and peace of mind, ensuring you know exactly where and how you'll receive care as your circumstances evolve.

Choosing the Right Level of Care

Selecting the appropriate level of care is crucial for your comfort and well-being. Consider these factors when making your decision:

Evaluate how much medical and personal care you require daily. Do you need regular medical check-ups or treatments? Or do you primarily need assistance with daily living activities? Understanding your current needs will help determine whether independent living, assisted living, or skilled nursing is most appropriate for you.

Reflect on your ability to manage daily tasks. Can you handle most activities with little to no help, or do you find yourself needing assistance more frequently? If you're capable of living with minimal support, independent living might be ideal. However, if daily tasks are becoming challenging, assisted living can provide the extra help you need to make each day easier and more enjoyable.

We understand that from time to time your needs may change. Our in-house team can provide Personal Services as little as 15 minutes a day up to 24 hours a day. This could mean having someone at hand to help manage your calendar, accompany you to meals, or assist with light housekeeping. Whatever your needs, our team can help. 

Consider the activities and amenities that enhance your quality of life. Do you enjoy social interactions, physical activities, or hobbies like gardening or reading? At Friendship Village of South Hills, we offer a wide range of amenities and activities designed to support your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Our community is committed to enriching your life with opportunities to engage in the pursuits you love.

When selecting a senior living option, it's essential to think about your future needs. Based on your current health and family history, how likely are you to need more involved care in the coming years? Choosing a Continuing Care Retirement Community like Friendship Village of South Hills provides the flexibility to adjust your level of care as your health needs evolve, all within the same familiar community.

Understanding the financial considerations of senior living is crucial. At Friendship Village of South Hills, we offer transparent pricing and various financial options to suit your needs. Our team is happy to discuss the costs associated with each level of care, helping you make an informed decision that aligns with your budget and long-term financial plans.
