Providing exceptional home health care in Pittsburgh and Surrounding Areas
Extended Family Care provides home care in Mt. Lebanon, PA for older adults and the families who love them. Our caregivers and nurses come to your loved one's house, and the help can be as simple as a few hours of company each week or as full as 24-hour care, dementia care and skilled nursing. Every plan is built around one person and what they need, so in-home care in Mt. Lebanon, PA fits the life your loved one already has. It all starts with a free assessment.
Families in Mt. Lebanon can arrange the full range of senior home care we offer across the Pittsburgh area, from a friendly companion a few mornings a week to a nurse who comes to the house. Here is what each service looks like for your loved one.
Some people mostly need good company and a little help around the house. Our caregivers sit down for a real conversation, and they also help with meal preparation, give medication reminders and go along on social outings, so your loved one has someone to count on through the week.
Bathing, dressing and grooming can get harder with age, and that's where a personal caregiver steps in. Our trained caregivers give hands-on help with bathing, dressing, grooming, getting in and out of a chair or bed, walking and toileting, always with respect for your loved one's privacy and dignity.
A familiar home can be a real comfort to someone living with memory loss. Our dementia care in Mt. Lebanon gives your loved one personalized help with daily activities, medication reminders and a safe, calm setting at home, and our staff are trained to notice and respond to changes in behavior. It also gives family members the chance to take a break, knowing their loved one is in capable hands.
Some families want someone in the house around the clock for safety, security and peace of mind. With 24-hour home care in Mt. Lebanon, you can choose hourly, part-time, full-time, live-in, overnight or shift-based care, and the schedule can change as your loved one's needs change.
Familiar surroundings can bring real comfort during a life-limiting illness. Our hospice supportive caregivers offer emotional support, help manage pain and symptoms and assist with daily activities, so the whole family can spend more of their time simply being together.
Our skilled program is for clients who need medical services and would like to receive them at home. Care is provided by Licensed Practical Nurses and Registered Nurses, who can handle IV infusions, wound care, diabetes management and teaching about chronic illness right in your loved one's own living room.
Recovering from surgery, an injury or an illness can feel a lot more comfortable in your own home. Our team brings physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy right to your door, with each plan shaped around your goals.
Every one of our home health care services is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with hourly or live-in options. Your loved one may be living with diabetes, heart trouble, the effects of a stroke, a new joint replacement or another condition, and our page on the medical conditions our caregivers and nurses are trained to help with shows how care is planned around each one.
St. Clair Hospital, right on Bower Hill Road, runs a busy emergency department that sees somewhere between 40,000 and 60,000 patients a year. That's a lot of neighbors heading home after a hospital visit or stay, and the first few weeks back at home make a big difference in how recovery goes.
Home health care in Mt. Lebanon after a hospital stay starts with the discharge plan, so everyone knows what happens next. Our hospital to home transition support helps families coming home from St. Clair or any other Pittsburgh hospital. We help get the house ready for recovery, with clear paths through each room and everyday things kept within easy reach. We keep track of follow-up appointments and therapy, help with medication management, and offer emotional support to the family while everyone settles back into a routine.
About two out of three homes in Mt. Lebanon were built before 1960, and close to a third go all the way back to 1939 or earlier. Older houses like these often have bedrooms upstairs, long staircases and snug bathrooms, and those are the spots where a steady hand helps the most.
Nearly one in four residents 75 and older has serious trouble walking or climbing stairs. Our caregivers help with getting up and down the stairs, in and out of the tub and safely from room to room, so the house your loved one knows can keep working for them.
Of the households here with someone 65 or older, nearly half are an older adult living alone. Their sons and daughters may live out of town or be at work all day, and a regular caregiver gives everyone a little more peace of mind.
Aging in place in Mt. Lebanon also means keeping up the things that make a week feel like your own. A companion can go along on errands, to appointments or to the monthly senior luncheon at the Mt. Lebanon Recreation Center, so your loved one stays part of the community they've always known.
Every client gets an individualized plan of care, developed by an RN Supervisor and the client. The RN Supervisor makes periodic visits to check on how your loved one is doing and to supervise the caregiver, so a nurse is always looking in on the care your loved one receives. The plan adapts as needs change over time.
Our screening goes beyond what the state requires. Every caregiver goes through federal and state criminal clearances, and we verify work history and check relevant education and training, all of which exceeds the state minimum guidelines.
Our caregivers are actual employees of our company, and they're covered under our workers' compensation and general liability policies. For you, that means less risk and more peace of mind when someone new walks through the front door.
Extended Family Care is accredited by The Joint Commission. Our family of companies has been providing home health services since 1938, caring for children, adults and seniors across Pennsylvania and beyond, and we bring that same care to families in Mt. Lebanon today.
Just over one in five people in Mt. Lebanon are 65 or older. That's a lot of older neighbors, and there are public programs built for them and for the people who care for them, which work well alongside home care.
Allegheny County's Area Agency on Aging runs SeniorLine, where Care Managers answer questions about services for older adults and walk you through applying for services for yourself or a loved one, weekdays from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Family caregivers 18 and older can lean on the county's Caregiver Support Program, and adults 60 and over can be matched free of charge with another senior who comes to visit them at home.
The Mt. Lebanon Recreation Center at 900 Cedar Boulevard hosts the Lebo Lunch Bunch one Tuesday a month, with lunch, a speaker or activity and an afternoon movie from 10:30 am until about 3:00 pm. Lunch is $8 when you register by the Friday before and $10 after that, and the room is on the second floor, reached by a ramp. A caregiver can help your loved one get ready, go along for the day and be there when they get back home.
The first step is a free assessment, and there's no rush.
