The absence of in-house care staff and direct support services is a recurring theme in reviews, suggesting the facility is tailored more toward independent seniors than those needing continuous medical or mobility assistance.

Complimentary transportation is available to residents for both medical and non-medical purposes. This service allows residents to attend medical appointments, run errands, or participate in group outings and community activities. Transportation is scheduled and coordinated to support residents’ independence and connectivity within the wider Pittsburgh area.

Overall, feedback highlights South Hills Square Retirement Resort’s strength in providing a comfortable, aesthetically pleasing living environment with ample amenities for independent, active seniors.
