The Presbyterian SeniorCare Story
From a quiet, humble beginning as the Presbyterian Home in January of 1928, Presbyterian SeniorCare has emerged as western Pennsylvania's largest provider of care and services to older adults (Pittsburgh Business Times, January 2012).
Our organization offers a multitude of care and living options, including our world-renowned Woodside Place, dedicated to serving people with Alzheimer's and other related dementias; adult day services; at-home care coordination, personal care; rehabilitation services, skilled nursing care, in-home private duty non-medical services, hospice and palliative care; affordable and supportive housing and premier independent retirement living.
The telling of our story would not be complete without our ongoing commitment to excellence, confirmed through our multiple accreditations and reaccreditations by CARF-CCAC. Presbyterian SeniorCare was the first eldercare provider in Pennsylvania and the third in the nation to receive independent third-party accreditation as an Aging Services Network (ASN) in 2006.
In 2011 we were honored to achieve reaccreditation as an ASN and for our Continuing Care Retirement Community, Longwood at Oakmont, which was first accredited in 2001. In addition, our nursing communities achieved first-time accreditation in Person-Centered Long Term Care. Please click here to learn more about CARF-CCAC.
