Home Care in North Hills, PA

Keeping North Hills Seniors at Home

The North Hills is home to thousands of older adults who have spent decades building their lives here — raising families near North Park, attending St. Alexis or Resurrection Parish, shopping along McKnight Road, and walking the trails around Siebert Lake. When getting older starts to make daily tasks harder, most people in this community share one clear wish: they want to stay in their own home.

That is exactly what Mary Angels Home Care exists to support. We are a Pennsylvania-licensed, family-owned, women-owned agency based in Pittsburgh. Our caregivers help North Hills seniors with the everyday tasks that keep life running smoothly — and that help families breathe a little easier.

We serve communities throughout the North Hills including:

• McCandless and Wexford
• Ross Township and West View
• Shaler Township and Etna
• Millvale, Aspinwall, and Fox Chapel
• And surrounding Allegheny County neighborhoods

What Our Caregivers Do

Mary Angels provides non-medical home care, which means our caregivers are not nurses or therapists, but they provide the hands-on, day-to-day support that makes independent living possible. Services available to North Hills families include:

• Personal care — bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting assistance done with dignity and respect
• Companion care — conversation, shared activities, errands, and friendly presence for seniors who live alone
• Homemaker services — light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and grocery runs
• Respite care — scheduled relief for family caregivers who need time to rest or handle other responsibilities
• Alzheimer's and dementia care — patient, consistent support for seniors with memory loss, keeping routines calm and predictable
• 24/7 and live-in care — around-the-clock presence for seniors who need continuous assistance or family members who want peace of mind overnight

If your parent was recently discharged from UPMC Passavant, which sits right in McCandless, or from AHN Saint Vincent nearby, we can often have a caregiver in place within 48 hours to support their transition back home.

Why Families in the North Hills Choose Mary Angels

Home care is a deeply personal decision. You are inviting someone into your parent's home, trusting them with your loved one's safety and dignity. Here is why North Hills families call us:

• Local roots. We are a Pittsburgh-based agency, not a national franchise. We know this region, these neighborhoods, and the families here.
• Consistent caregivers. We match caregivers thoughtfully and aim for consistency — your parent sees the same familiar face, not a rotating roster of strangers.
• No long-term contracts required. Start with as many or as few hours as your family needs, and adjust over time.
• Honest conversations. We will tell you plainly what we can and cannot do. Non-medical care is our lane, and we stay in it.
• Quick response. Call 412-900-9354 and you will speak with a real person who can usually schedule a free assessment within a day or two.

Paying for Home Care in the North Hills

Cost is usually the first question families ask, and it is a fair one. Home care in the Allegheny County area can be paid for in several ways:

• Private pay — families pay out of pocket, often using savings, retirement income, or a reverse mortgage
• Long-term care insurance — many policies cover non-medical home care; we can help you understand what your policy includes
• Pennsylvania Medicaid waivers — the Community HealthChoices (CHC) program may cover home care for eligible seniors enrolled in Medical Assistance; we can point you toward the right resources
• Veterans benefits — if your parent served, the VA Aid and Attendance benefit may help offset costs; see our guide on VA Aid & Attendance for Pittsburgh Veterans
• Highmark coverage — some Highmark Medicare Advantage plans include home care benefits
