Cleanliness & Maintenance: While the physical environment is described as beautiful and well-maintained by some, there are no specific mentions of cleanliness in reviews, and a few families raise concerns about infection control.

Atmosphere & Community Feel: The community offers a robust activity calendar and social opportunities, with some residents feeling engaged and supported, though others report feeling dismissed by staff.

Safety & Security: Emergency alert systems and 24/7 nursing are available, but several reviews cite lapses in fall prevention and timely medical response.

Family Experience

Families visiting loved ones describe both positive interactions with attentive staff and frustrating experiences with care lapses and communication. Some appreciate the community’s efforts to involve families in care decisions, while others feel their concerns are not taken seriously.

Care Approach

Friendship Village of South Hills provides a continuum of care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation, with the goal of supporting residents as their needs evolve. However, reviews suggest variability in the quality and consistency of personal care, especially for those requiring significant assistance.

Value Consideration

With monthly costs ranging from $1,300 to $8,060, the community offers a wide array of amenities and care levels. Value depends on individual needs and expectations, as some residents find the lifestyle and services well worth the cost, while others feel care quality does not match the price.
