A Personal Approach to Senior Care in Pittsburgh
Our office proudly serves seniors across the Pittsburgh area, with a focus on tailoring every plan to the individual. Whether a client needs help preparing meals, remembering medications, getting to appointments, or simply having someone to share conversation with, we create a schedule and care plan that works for them.
The flexibility of our services allows us to be there for a few hours a week, several days, or around the clock, always with a focus on safety, comfort, and maintaining independence. We know that each client’s needs can change over time, which is why our plans are adaptable and regularly reviewed with families.
Our Care Pros reflect Pittsburgh’s warm and welcoming spirit. As Care Pro Cheryl Ursitz shared, “I like to make them smile and feel comfortable with me. Sometimes, I tell them jokes to put them at ease.” This kind of personal connection is what transforms everyday care into something truly special.
💜 Why Families Choose Home Instead
Families trust us not just because of our training and experience, but because of our genuine dedication to the people we serve. Lori, whose father lives in a local assisted living community, shared:
"I had the pleasure of working with Home Instead Senior Care for about a year. My father is in a Pittsburgh assisted living facility and needs extra care during the night hours. Home Instead worked with us to make sure all my father’s needs were met.
They are flexible, attentive, and keep you up to date on any issues that may arise. All the caregivers are very COVID-friendly and qualified. Katie, our company liaison, went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. I highly recommend their services if you need."
This kind of feedback reflects our commitment to open communication and family involvement. Whether it’s coordinating with medical professionals, adjusting care plans quickly, or offering updates after a shift, we strive to make families feel supported every step of the way.
The Care Pros Who Make It Possible
Our Care Pros are chosen for their professionalism, empathy, and dedication. Marcia Hempfield expressed that the best part of her day is “seeing the love on their face that they have support,” while Nelly Mahamba finds joy in “making my client smile and happy.” These moments, sharing a story, enjoying a cup of coffee together, or celebrating small achievements, are the heart of senior care.
We also believe in matching the right Care Pro to each client. This ensures personalities click, communication is easy, and the relationship feels natural. As Gigi put it simply, “Knowing someone cares about them” can make all the difference.
Serving the Greater Pittsburgh Area
Our Pittsburgh office supports clients across the city and neighboring communities, which you can explore on our service area page. Each neighborhood has its own personality, and we adapt our care to reflect the lifestyle and needs of the clients we serve there.
Community Connections
Pittsburgh is a city rich in culture, history, and neighborhood pride. We encourage our clients to stay connected to the places they love.

When mobility or health conditions make outings challenging, our Care Pros bring that same sense of connection into the home, through conversation, shared hobbies, or even bringing a favorite meal from a local spot.
