Whitetail Springs Memory Care Community sits in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, tucked among fir trees and green bushes, with walking paths, gardens, and plenty of peaceful spots for residents to enjoy the outdoors at their own pace, and the enclosed outdoor walkways lead to nice garden areas where folks can go outside without asking for help. The building has classic, comforting designs and large rooms, including studio, single, and two-bedroom units, with kitchens or kitchenettes, Wi-Fi and cable, and private bathrooms, and the whole place is gated with security features like motion sensors and staff-alert pull cords in rooms for extra peace of mind. Whitetail Springs is set up with safety and comfort in mind, so hallways and furniture layouts help people with memory issues feel safe and settled, and the community stays smoke-free with air filtering to help everyone breathe easier.
Staff at the community include Certified Dementia Practitioners, part-time nurses, personal care assistants, and specialized support workers, and there's always someone around to lend a hand with medication reminders, daily health checks, bathing, dressing, or moving about with walkers or wheelchairs. The leadership team includes an Executive Director, Health Services Director, and Life Enrichment Director, and they all work together on personalized care plans for each resident, with new folks getting an initial on-site assessment to see what level of help they'll need. The community offers both transitional assisted living and secure memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, and there's a special focus on person-centered care using the Montessori method along with the HOPE BLOOMS™ Life Enrichment Program that keeps everyone active mentally and physically, with daily social hours, meditation, crafts, games, literary activities, music, exercise classes, volunteer work, and faith groups.
Dining follows the MIND Diet, which uses foods to help keep the brain healthy, and meals are served in a main dining room, with options for folks who have special memory support needs, and all housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance get taken care of too. The community has a sensory spa with a hot tub, and offers Virtual Reality therapy, plus a salon and barbershop, game rooms, a library, guest parking, and an activities center where people can explore new hobbies or enjoy time with volunteers, family, and friends. There's no community pets, but residents can bring their own if they'd like. Transport for medical appointments or outings is available, and the whole place is set up with accessible features to make getting around simple and safe for everyone.
Residents and families can get information, schedule tours, or set up visits, and Whitetail Springs has staff who'll help with the financial side of moving in, like home sale assistance, understanding payment options, and figuring out any veterans' aid that might help. The community has all-inclusive rent choices as well as options to pay by check or credit card, and the team can guide through extra services or different living plans if a resident's needs change over time. Whitetail Springs aims to provide a safe, friendly place where people with Alzheimer's and other types of memory loss can keep their independence, dignity, and connections with loved ones, and the focus stays on comfort, security, and well-being day to day.
