REVIEWS OF The Haven at North Hills

What our residents have to say

About 3.5 years ago, my mother moved into The Haven of North Hills. Although it was a difficult decision because she very much wanted to maintain her independence, I toured six facilities before making my choice, with The Haven being the last one I visited. It was, by far, the nicest and cleanest facility, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I also began asking friends whose relatives had lived at The Haven about their experiences. One thing that stood out was how little staff turnover there was compared with other facilities. That consistency was very reassuring to me. During the 3.5 years my mother lived at The Haven, she developed wonderful friendships with both the staff and other residents. She truly enjoyed living there and was happy to call it home until her passing in August. Even though I visited my mother regularly, the staff would still provide me with weekly updates about how she was doing. Their communication, compassion, and genuine care meant so much to both my mother and our family. The Haven of North Hills is truly an amazing place for a loved one to live, feel cared for, build friendships, and thrive during their golden years. I will always be grateful to the staff for the kindness and care they gave my mother.

My mother lived at The Haven for over 5 years--3/12 years in assisted living and 1-1/2+ years in memory care. As a Eucharistic Minister for her parish, she had visited numerous assisted living facilities and selected The Haven herself, based on her experiences. It was an excellent choice--she was very happy, and our out-of-state family was confident knowing that she was in a safe and caring environment. The Haven offers many engaging activities and residents are encouraged to participate (and assisted, if needed). The staff is amazing--beyond caring, kind, and communicative. We always knew that our mother was cared for like a family member. I cannot say enough about the compassionate care she received, especially during the last challenging months of her life. We will always be grateful. Thank you all!!

I would definitely recommend the Haven. Heather is amazing. She took care of my grandmother on the memory unit and when my uncle moved in years later, she always checked on him and made sure he was ok. This meant so much to me and my family and we really appreciate her going above and beyond. Rick in maintenance was also amazing. He is so caring and was always there to help my uncle and he makes all residents feel important and seen. Michelle made admission seemless and was always willing to help and also amazing with the residents. John who was in housekeeping was wonderful as well. He was always friendly and had a joke to make my uncle laugh. Robin and Denise always took great care of my uncle as well. We are,appreciative of the wonderful staff and care my family received!

The Haven has been an absolute blessing for my mom. the entire staff - caregivers, dining room attendants, maintenance, administration, are always so cheerful, patient and helpful. i cannot emphasize enough the wonderful way the caregivers are with mom. They treat her the way they would treat their own mothers. Their dedication and compassion to all the residents there, shines through. The meals at the Haven are not only healthy, but delicious! Chef Ken also gets involved with the residents occasionally, sharing his culinary creations together. The activities director, Nash, provides such interesting and fun ventures, at least 4 to 5 daily... for example: "Tee it off", "snowball fight", "Duck Hunt", "Red Hat Society", and they also have outside entertainment come in, providing music, comedy, and pet therapy. The residents have many opportunities for a full, exciting day, every day, which brightens their spirits immensely. What is especially important for my mom is the Catholic Mass and Communion Services that are available. THANK YOU HAVEN, for making the difficult transition of moving mom from living on her own to residing there, so much easier for our family. We know she is being well taken care of.

I can't give enough accolades to ALL the staff from the top down for the level of care at The Haven. From the moment I walked in the building while looking for a place for my loved one, I knew I had found a gem. The grounds are well-kept, the building has modern decor touches, is in terrific shape, and I was met with a GENUINE smile and greeting. I soon found out that they had something like a dozen employees that had worked there for more than a decade and just as many quickly reaching that milestone. After taking the tour of the facility and hearing about all the amenities, I knew I had found the perfect place. This was over 6 months ago, and they have proven themselves even more capable and amazing in our eyes since. Thanks to everyone at the Haven for all the help and peace of mind they have given myself and my family when making such an important choice.

We moved my Dad into The Haven in July 2025. We couldn’t be happier with our decision. The food is great, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely check this place out for a family member that you care about.

Mom lived at the Haven about 3 years and we were totally satisfied with her care. The building and decor is updated and pleasant, they have so many daily activities to keep the residents fully engaged. Mom was always pleased with the food and found it very tasty, her caregivers were always compassionate and patient and kind and made sure she was well taken care of. Mom made good friends with her fellow residents and caregivers alike. Whenever you're there, you feel like part of a family. Sue Loch

My parents have been living at the Haven for a few years. My mom needed memory care and my dad was allowed to live with her in the memory care. He was able to come and go knowing his wife was safe and secure. Sadly my mom passed away a few days ago after a long journey with Alzheimer’s disease. Throughout her time there she was cared for with kindness and respect. So many of the staff told me how much they loved Bonnie! The facility was always clean anytime I visited and the staff interacted with the residents encouraging engagement in activities and helping them participate and have fun. Slip ( my dad) has maintained his level of independence while staying within the guidelines provided. He will be moving to the assisted living side this week. The Haven staff were fastidious about communicating with me as POA that lived out of state. Amy is the best receptionist, always helpful and kind .Heather, Michelle and Kelly help you navigate the challenges of managing from a distance. I am overwhelmingly satisfied with my parents experiences and would recommend the Haven highly ! Terri Shaffer

Although my mom’s time at The Haven at North Hills was brief, it was truly meaningful and filled with warmth. From the moment she arrived, we were impressed by her beautiful new surroundings as well as the welcoming and compassionate staff. They treated her with genuine care and kindness, and it gave our family so much peace knowing she was in good hands. There are so many engaging activities offered—and my mom enjoyed participating whenever she could. The Haven goes above and beyond to help residents feel connected, active, and valued. We are very grateful for the support and quality of care she received during her time there. Thank you to everyone at The Haven for making her time there so special.

Questions about The Haven at North Hills

Frequently Asked Questions

What measures does The Haven at North Hills take to secure its memory care facility?

Although we often use the word “secure,” a better word is “safe.” Secured memory care communities have a number of features that help your loved one stay safe including:

  • Higher staff to resident ratios. This means closer oversight, more dedicated and personal one-on-one time with each resident.
  • Fewer safety risks. Our communities are designed to accommodate the way residents with dementia and other age-related limitations think and act to prevent falls, burns, and other injuries (i.e., no stoves in personal suites and no stairs).
  • Secure and alarmed doors. If your loved one tries to leave the facility without accompaniment, staff are notified and can join them.

We aim to ensure our secure memory care community in Pittsburgh is just as warm and inviting as independent and assisted living communities.

How does the price change as my loved one’s disease advances and level of care changes?

Providing quality care and services to residents and their families is important to us. Each resident is assessed quarterly or upon a significant change of condition. Rates will change – either up or down – as individual needs change.

Is The Haven an Assisted Living Facility in Pittsburgh?

The Haven is not an assisted living facility, but rather a Memory Care and Personal Care facility located in the North Hills area of Pittsburgh. Similar to an assisted living facility, The Haven does offer access to medical care, emergency call systems, wellness programs, housekeeping, and laundry services and also offers an amazing gourmet dining menu with three meals a day, social activities, and 24-hour staff supervision for memory care residents.

Are staff members at The Haven required to undergo dementia specific training?

We take pride in offering our employees the training and development they need to not only care for but also empower our residents to lead independent and enriched lives. Both classroom and hands-on training – designed specifically for caregivers in the memory care setting – are required upon hire and then on an ongoing basis after that. This ensures two things: 

1) basic concepts and best practices are refreshed at least annually, and 

2) new research and innovations are taken into consideration and implemented into training for cutting edge practice.

If you’d like to learn more about training requirements for our Pittsburgh memory care staff, your local Community Director is eager to share that information. Contact Us today to learn more.

Are there pros to moving to The Haven’s memory care facility vs. in-home care?

Both memory care and in-home care can be highly effective solutions for the safety risks that accompany cognitive decline.

Those who choose a memory care facility realize a few benefits over those who choose in-home care:

  • Memory care facilities must meet stringent guidelines in all aspects of care including nutrition, safety, management of medical conditions, cleanliness, and staffing levels, and are surveyed frequently
  • Memory care communities are designed with resident safety in mind, which means slip-resistant flooring, handrails, larger bathrooms and bedrooms, and elimination of safety risks like stoves
  • Memory care communities are secure, so your loved one is protected from the risk of becoming confused and getting lost
  • While Meals On Wheels can provide one meal a day for in-home residents who qualify, memory care residents receive three well-rounded meals and snacks every day
  • Memory care facilities also offer a myriad of socialization activities which help enrich the lives of seniors with dementia and can help preserve cognitive function
