Little Sisters Of The Poor in Pittsburgh operates as a nursing-home level facility, delivering 24-hour skilled nursing care that covers both short-term rehabilitation and long-term support. Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses manage medication administration, IV therapy, wound care, pain control, and monitoring of chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiac disease, and COPD. On-site physical, occupational, and speech therapists work with residents who need post-acute rehabilitation, and the clinical team coordinates closely with attending physicians to adjust care plans as residents’ needs change.

Beyond direct medical services, the facility offers social services support, discharge planning, and assistance with scheduling outside medical appointments. A consulting pharmacy reviews each resident’s medication profile, while lab and imaging providers visit as ordered by physicians. The community maintains a secure environment with an emergency call system, provides regular safety assessments, and can arrange hospice or palliative care when required. Daily activities, pastoral care, and transportation to local appointments round out the non-clinical services available to residents.

Accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms furnished with adjustable hospital beds, accessible bathrooms, individual climate controls, and basic cable or Wi-Fi access. Routine housekeeping, linen service, and personal laundry are available, and maintenance staff address repairs as needed. Not all accommodations have every listed feature, so families should confirm specific room layouts and amenities during a tour.

Residents receive three meals each day in a communal dining room, with menus planned by a registered dietitian to meet nutritional guidelines and therapeutic diet orders such as low-sodium, diabetic, renal, or pureed selections. Staff assist residents who need help with feeding, and meal service can be delivered to a room when a resident is unable to attend the dining room. Snacks and beverages are offered between meals, and the kitchen welcomes feedback from residents to adjust menu options.
