Two kinds of assisted living in Pittsburgh

36larger communities (17+ residents): apartments, a dining room, activities staff, often memory care on site; 30 have 50 or more residents.
4small residential homes (16 or fewer): a house in a neighborhood, a few caregivers, home-style meals, often a lower monthly price and a higher staff-to-resident ratio.

Both are licensed by Pennsylvania as assisted living. Larger communities suit people who want social life and on-site services; small homes suit people who do better with quiet, familiar routines, including many people with dementia. Pennsylvania words these licenses as “Personal Care Home” (37), “Assisted Living Residence - Special Care” (2), “Assisted Living Residence” (1).

How much does assisted living cost in Pittsburgh?

The median cost of assisted living in Pennsylvania is $6,480 a month ($77,760 a year), above the national median of $6,200. That’s CareScout’s 2025 survey, collected July to November 2025. 2 Pittsburgh communities publish a starting price on Lilisity, from $3,830 to $4,575 a month. Small residential homes often cost less than larger communities, though care needs, room type and services move the price more than the building does.

Medicare does not pay for assisted living. People pay from savings and income, long-term care insurance, or VA Aid and Attendance (up to $29,093 a year for a veteran in 2026), and some qualify for Medicaid help with care costs at communities that accept it. Who actually pays for long-term care.

Pittsburgh assisted living questions

Pennsylvania licenses 40 assisted living communities in Pittsburgh as of September 2026: 36 larger communities and 4 small residential homes of 16 or fewer residents, with about 3,387 licensed spots in all.

The median cost of assisted living in Pennsylvania is $6,480 a month (CareScout 2025), compared with $6,200 nationally. Prices vary with the room, the level of care and the community, so ask each one for its current rate sheet, or ask a Lilisity advisor for current prices.

Medicaid doesn't pay rent or meals in assisted living. Most states offer a Medicaid waiver or program that can pay for care services at participating communities for people who qualify; not every community takes it, so ask each one. Pennsylvania's Medicaid agency or your local Area Agency on Aging can tell you what's available.

Pennsylvania publishes its licensing records at humanservices.dhs.pa.gov. You can also ask any community for its most recent state inspection report.
