Cumberland Crossing in Pittsburgh delivers assisted-living care that centers on consistent medical oversight. The community is equipped to manage residents who use oxygen, require special diets, or live with diabetes—whether controlled by oral medications, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. Individuals younger than 60 who need an assisted-living setting can also be accommodated, and the staff is trained to support residents with moderate dementia.
Care delivery is reinforced by an RN or LPN on site and a nurse available by phone around the clock. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift works with 24-hour security and a personal emergency response system that alerts staff immediately. Residents have access to on-site podiatry and a dedicated therapy room. Full assistance is offered for bathing, dressing, and toileting, while eating support is available for those who need some physical help. Mobility needs are addressed through standby supervision, walker or wheelchair use, one-person transfers, and, when required, two-person transfers. A fenced rear area adds an additional layer of safety.
Private and semi-private suites are available, and not every unit contains every feature. Depending on the room selected, residents may have a private bathroom, a kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to personalize décor with their own paint colors. Furnishings and regular housekeeping are provided, and maintenance staff handle routine repairs.
Meals are prepared with both set menus and made-to-order options. Snacks are available throughout the day, and residents can choose in-room dining or use a private dining room for family visits. The culinary team honors physician-ordered diet modifications, including mechanical-chopped and puréed textures, as well as specialized nutritional plans tied to diabetic or other medical conditions.
Amenities include on-site resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, and reliable internet access. Residents can spend time in communal gardens, attend services in the on-site chapel, visit the library, or arrange outings and medical appointments through a concierge and scheduled shuttle service that focuses on medical trips.
