Home Care in Penn Hills, PA

Why Penn Hills Families Choose In-Home Care

Penn Hills is a close-knit community in the eastern part of Allegheny County — a place where people have raised families, tended gardens, and put down deep roots. For many seniors here, the thought of leaving their home on Frankstown Road or near Rodi Road for a facility feels unthinkable. The good news is that it often does not have to come to that.

Non-medical home care lets your parent stay in their own surroundings while getting real, hands-on help with daily life. That means someone to assist with bathing and dressing in the morning, a friendly face to share lunch with, a driver to get to Forbes Hospital or UPMC East for appointments, and a helper to keep the house clean and meals on the table.

At Mary Angels Home Care, we are a family-owned, women-owned agency licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We match caregivers carefully to each family — not just by availability, but by personality and needs.

Services We Bring to Penn Hills Homes

We offer a full range of in-home care support designed for older adults who want to stay independent as long as possible:

• Personal care — bathing, grooming, dressing, and toileting assistance delivered with dignity and respect
• Companion care — conversation, games, walks, and errands to ease loneliness and keep spirits up
• Homemaker services — light housekeeping, laundry, grocery shopping, and meal preparation
• Alzheimer's & dementia care — specialized support for families navigating memory loss, including structured routines and safety supervision
• Respite care — planned relief for family caregivers who need a break without guilt
• 24/7 & live-in care — around-the-clock support for seniors who need someone present at all times
• Transportation — rides to medical appointments, pharmacies, and community activities throughout Penn Hills and greater Allegheny County
• Veteran care — dedicated support for Penn Hills veterans and their spouses

None of our services include nursing, medical treatment, or clinical procedures. We take care of everyday personal and household needs — which is often exactly what makes the biggest difference.

Navigating Care Near Penn Hills

Penn Hills is well positioned for families coordinating care. UPMC East in nearby Monroeville, Forbes Hospital in Monroeville, and the UPMC Shadyside campus are all within reasonable distance. When your parent is discharged from one of these hospitals and needs help settling back home, our caregivers can be ready to step in quickly — often within 48 hours of your first call.

Penn Hills families sometimes ask about paying for care. Options worth exploring include:

• Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices (CHC) Medicaid waiver, which may cover in-home care for eligible seniors at little to no out-of-pocket cost
• VA Aid and Attendance benefits for eligible veterans and surviving spouses in Penn Hills
• Long-term care insurance policies, which often cover non-medical home care
• Private pay arrangements with flexible scheduling

Our team can walk you through what may apply to your family's situation. We are not a benefits office, but we know these programs well and can point you toward the right resources.

What to Expect When You Call

We know that picking up the phone is the hardest part. When you call Mary Angels at 412-900-9354 or email info@maryangelshomecare.com, here is what happens:

1. A real person — not a call center — answers and listens without rushing you.
2. We schedule a free in-home assessment, usually within 48 hours.
3. We learn about your parent's daily routine, health history (shared by you, not clinical records), home layout, and preferences.
4. We match a caregiver and introduce them before the first shift whenever possible.
5. Care begins — and we stay in close contact with your family as needs evolve.

There is no obligation, no pressure, and no confusing contract to sign before you've had a chance to think it over.
