Personalized Senior Care Services in Pittsburgh
Finding reliable and compassionate senior care is one of the most important decisions a family can make. At Home Instead in Pittsburgh, we provide flexible, personalized solutions that allow older adults to age with dignity in the place they feel most comfortable — their own home. Our dedicated Care Pros are passionate about making life easier for clients and their families by offering everything from companionship to specialized support for complex health conditions.
We understand that every senior’s needs are unique. That’s why our elder care services are tailored to the individual — from helping with light housekeeping and meal preparation to providing personal care and mobility assistance. For families searching for senior care near you in Pittsburgh and surrounding neighborhoods, we’re here to make sure your loved one feels safe, supported, and valued every day.
🤝 A Team Built on Compassion and Experience
When you invite Home Instead into your home, you’re welcoming a team of trained Care Pros who put heart into everything they do. Our approach blends professional training with genuine connection, ensuring that each client not only receives high-quality care but also enjoys meaningful companionship. Whether your loved one needs help with daily routines or just someone to share a cup of coffee and conversation with, we match them with a Care Pro whose personality and skills align with their needs.
Our Care Pros share a common dedication: to treat each client like family. Many, like Cheryl Ursitz, describe caregiving as a ministry and strive to be an advocate and a friend. Others, like Pennapa “Penny” Ali, speak about the joy found in small moments — a shared laugh, a heartfelt story, or a word of encouragement. These personal touches turn basic care into something truly life-enriching.

A Family’s Experience: Scott Love’s Story
“Overall, this was a very good service that met our ever-changing needs due to Mom's complicated care situation. The original call, and then meeting, could not have gone any better. Sharon answered my many questions and was beyond professional, but more importantly kind. This put my Mom at ease and let her know we were in good hands. Sharon was there on the first day when my Mom came home and was always a constant presence. Sharon would call and also make visits to make sure everything was humming along as smooth as possible. Home Instead also made sure that, as the primary caregiver, POA and point of contact, all of my communication needs were more than met.”
Stories like this remind us why we do what we do — and why families across Pittsburgh turn to Home Instead for senior care they can trust.
