Senior Living Apartments in Pittsburgh, PA
Known to many as The Steel City, Pittsburgh is an industrial mecca surrounded by tranquil waterways and with an impressive skyline. The city’s affordable cost of living and rich culture are just a couple of attractions for seniors. Pittsburgh is also making the city more accessible to seniors by creating age-inclusive neighborhoods and making improvements to streets and trails. Pittsburgh has plenty of housing options for seniors who want to take a step back from the responsibilities of home ownership and embrace a more easygoing way of life.
Senior apartments are an optimal choice for active older adults looking for friendships with people in a similar life stage and who enjoy maintenance-free living. While senior apartments are often compared to independent living, they don’t provide the same services independent living communities offer, so they’re usually more affordable. In this guide, we walk you through what to expect from senior apartments in Pittsburgh, details about costs and payment options, housing regulations, and local senior resources.

Costs of senior apartments in the Pittsburgh area
Senior apartments tend to be the most affordable housing option for seniors in Pittsburgh. A one-bedroom apartment in Pittsburgh averages about $1,079 per month, while a two-bedroom apartment averages $1,990 per month.[01] Senior apartment costs are significantly less than an independent living community, which averages $4,200 monthly in Pittsburgh according to A Place for Mom’s 2022 proprietary data.
One key reason for senior apartments’ affordability is because rent doesn’t include services such as housekeeping, meals, and select utilities. They’re more like typical apartments, as monthly costs usually only cover rent. When considering your budget, you’ll want to look at what monthly expenses are not included. However, keep in mind that renting can actually reduce costs of living overall since you’ll have no maintenance costs or property taxes.

How people pay for senior apartments in Pittsburgh
People mainly rely on their personal funds to pay for rent at a senior apartment community. Health insurance programs — like Medicare, Medicaid, and long-term care insurance — don’t cover rent at a senior apartment since they’re not care facilities. However, there are some instances where public benefits may help pay for home health care services provided in your apartment. Some public benefits can help qualified seniors offset rental costs at a Pittsburgh senior apartment, like veterans benefits and housing assistance for seniors with limited incomes.
We outline these private and public options — along with local resources and contacts — throughout this section.
Many people use savings accounts or pensions to pay rent at a senior apartment, just like they would at any apartment complex. Retirement income sources like Social Security benefits, pensions, IRAs, and 401(k) plans are often used to pay rental costs. Fortunately, Pennsylvania doesn’t tax retirement income for seniors aged 59 ½ and older, making these resources go further. Seniors can also consider investment returns, if applicable, or utilize the following resources:
Number of veterans who lived in Pittsburgh in 2022
About 81% of Pittsburgh’s veteran population is age 55 or older.
Some veteran disability benefits like Aid and Attendance can be used for anything that improves a veteran’s quality of life, including rental costs for a senior apartment in Pittsburgh. The Aid and Attendance benefit can provide a substantial amount of supplemental income on top of a VA pension to qualified veterans and their spouses.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers many benefits to veterans and their families. However, it’s easy to get swept up in the eligibility criteria for programs, so veterans and their spouses sometimes miss out on benefits they qualify for.
Reach out to your local veterans service organizations (VSOs) beforehand to successfully apply for benefits. VSOs often walk you through the entire application process, helping you understand all your eligible VA benefits. The Pittsburgh VA Regional Office holds the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVAPA) office, as well as many local VSO offices, like those below:
- American Legion
- American Veterans (AMVETS)
- Disabled American Veterans (DAV)
- Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)
- Paralyzed Veterans of America

While Medicaid and Medicare won’t pay for rent at a senior apartment, these programs may help seniors and disabled individuals cover health care costs. Some services can be provided in a patient’s home. Seniors and disabled individuals may qualify for certain in-home health care programs.
Pennsylvania Medicaid — Medical Assistance (MA)
Medical Assistance (MA) is Pennsylvania’s state-managed Medicaid program. Eligible recipients can use MA to pay for certain health care services and related expenses. Residents living in a senior apartment may be able to access in-home health care services through Medicaid’s home and community based services waiver programs.
The Community HealthChoices (CHC) waiver, in particular, offers support and long-term care services where medically necessary for eligible recipients. The program aims to help people who meet a skilled nursing facility level of care but don’t want to enter an institutional nursing home. Services are instead provided in a home or community setting. Some available services include the below:[03]
- Support for activities of daily living (dressing, eating, and toileting)
- Transportation
- Assistive technology (walkers, listening devices, and special eating utensils)
- Home-delivered meals
- Home health services (nursing care, specialized therapies, and home health aides)
- Specialized medical equipment and supplies
- Cognitive rehabilitation therapy
- Home modifications for medical equipment
Living Independence for the Elderly (LIFE) is another home and community based waiver program under Medicare and Medicaid’s Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) program. Seniors can access home care services, and both LIFE and CHC programs are available for seniors age 55 and older who meet specific income and medical requirements.
As an alternative to the CHC waiver, the LIFE program helps seniors continue living safely and independently in their homes by providing access to health care and personal care services. Some of the services are similar to those provided by CHC, but the LIFE program also provides a range of services that aren’t available with the CHC program, which may include those listed below:
- Hospice services
- Nutritional counseling and education
- Hospital and nursing facility services
- Lab and X-ray services
- Pharmaceuticals
- Round-the-clock nursing and medical support
- Prosthetics and orthotics
- Durable medical equipment
- Primary medical specialist care
There are several different HCBS programs with various eligibility criteria and different services offered. You can find a complete list of Pennsylvania’s HCBS programs on the Department of Human Services website.
Medicare
Medicare is a federal health insurance program designed to help seniors age 65 and older with health-related costs and expenses. Like with Medicaid, Medicare can’t be used to pay for rent at a senior apartment. Eligible Medicare recipients could receive some short-term home health services when there’s a medical need. These include the following:[04]
- Specialized rehabilitative therapies
- Intermittent skilled nursing care
- Medical equipment and supplies for home use
- Part-time home health aide
- Medical social services
Pennsylvania has several programs available to help qualified individuals with Medicare costs. If you’re interested in reducing out-of-pocket costs, you may consider one of the programs below.
- Medicare Savings Program (MSP) can help pay for Medicare premiums and, in some cases, the cost of Medicare Part A and Part B coinsurance, copayments, and deductibles.
- Extra Help is also known as the Part D Low-Income Subsidy (LIS), and it can help qualified Medicare beneficiaries pay for prescriptions, deductibles, premiums, and coinsurance of Medicare prescription drug coverage.
- Medicare preventative services are covered at little to no cost and can help reduce major medical costs in the future by providing early detection and treatment of health conditions.
Seniors often find Medicare to be a confusing topic, and it can be challenging to determine what services are covered and who’s eligible. The Pennsylvania Department of Aging offers free Medicare counseling through the Pennsylvania Medicare Education and Decision Insight (PA MEDI).
PA MEDI’s trained counselors are available to provide objective insight about Medicare to help seniors make informed decisions about their Medicare options. You can also look up and contact your local area agency on aging (AAA) for help with accessing the local programs and services you need.

Seniors who need help paying rent or finding affordable housing in Pittsburgh can turn to a few different organizations for support. See what organizations and programs may be available to help you in Pittsburgh below.
Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program
The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, formerly called Section 8, is a rental assistance program for low-income individuals and families. The program helps provide safe, decent housing by subsidizing some of the rental payments. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regularly inspects these properties to ensure safety. Renters who qualify for the vouchers pay no more than 30% of their income to a landlord for rent, and the remaining balance is paid directly by the local housing authority.
A Place for Mom doesn’t currently partner with senior apartments in Pittsburgh that participate in the HCV program. To find out more about affordable housing in Pittsburgh, reach out to the Allegheny County Housing Authority, Housing Authority City of Pittsburgh (HACP), or McKeesport Housing Authority with any questions. We’ve provided those contact resources below.
Food assistance in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh has several food assistance programs for adults age 60 and older. Some of these programs have different eligibility requirements and rules to qualify. Some programs are exclusively for individuals with income below the federal poverty income guidelines (FPIG). You’ll want to check with each program individually about eligibility.
We highlight a few of the local food assistance programs below. You can also find even more food assistance programs by visiting the HACP website.
- Allegheny County senior centers serve lunches every Monday through Friday. Lunches are nutritionally balanced and can be modified for special dietary requirements.
- Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) provides food vouchers to adults age 60 and older with income at or below 130% of the FPIG above. These can be used at participating farmers markets and farm stands.
- Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank has the Senior Food Box Program for income-eligible seniors age 60+. This program provides a monthly box of staple food items that include canned fruit and vegetables, canned meat, and peanut butter.
- Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), previously called Food Stamps, helps low-income seniors and families pay for groceries with a card that can be used like an ATM card in many grocery and convenience stores.
Social Security benefits
Social Security benefits can help eligible seniors cover their monthly costs of living. These benefits have different eligibility requirements and can be based on factors such as work history and having a disability or dependency status. You can take the Social Security benefits eligibility quiz to see what, if any, benefits you qualify for. We also provide a brief rundown of Social Security benefits below.
- Social Security Survivors pension is for widows or widowers who were married to someone that paid Social Security taxes (had work credits).
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is for individuals who have paid Social Security taxes (have work credits) and have a qualifying disability.
- Social Security Income (SSI) adds financial assistance to other Social Security benefits. It’s for individuals with an eligible disability or visual impairment that haven’t paid Social Security taxes (no work credits).
- Social Security in Retirement (SSR or Social Security Retirement benefit) is for individuals between ages 62 and 70 who have paid Social Security taxes (have work credits) for over 10 years.

Understand Pennsylvania laws and regulations for senior apartments
Aside from age limits, renting a senior apartment is similar to any other apartment complex. There are regulations in place at both the state and federal levels to manage the relationship and responsibilities between landlords and tenants.
You can find a complete overview of these rental regulations in the Pennsylvania Consumer Guide to Tenant and Landlord Rights. We outline key points for tenants and landlords below:[05]
- Tenants have the right to enjoy their dwelling without unreasonable interference from a landlord. However, landlords are allowed reasonable access for unit maintenance or for showing the unit to a future tenant.
- Landlords can ask prospective tenants to provide credit references, employment history, and a list of previous landlords.
- Landlords must maintain habitable units and fix anything that endangers tenants’ health and safety.
- Landlords should clearly identify the division of utilities between themselves and tenants in the lease.
- Leases can’t include provisions that waive tenants’ rights, such as requiring tenants to take a unit “as is,” waive their right to represent themselves in court, or waive their right to a hearing.
- Security deposits can’t exceed two months’ rent for the first year and can’t exceed one month’s rent beginning the second year of a lease.
- Tenants must clean a unit thoroughly before moving out and are advised to take photos that document the unit’s condition.
- Tenants must let landlords know in writing about any issues that affect their ability to safely live in a unit. Tenants must give landlords a reasonable amount of time to fix the problem before breaking a lease.
Preventing housing discrimination
Landlords have the right to develop screening criteria for prospective residents. However, it’s illegal in Pennsylvania for a landlord to deny a tenant’s application because of an existing eviction record or credit score below a specific number. The Pennsylvania Human Relations Act and federal Fair Housing Act also have protections in place to prevent discrimination against prospective tenants based on factors such as race, religion, age, familial status, sex, or disability.[05]
Accommodations and modifications for tenants with disabilities
Landlords are also required to make reasonable accommodations and modifications for tenants with disabilities. This is part of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that helps make sure individuals with disabilities have equal access to residential and community spaces.
Accommodations often look like changes to community policies, while modifications are structural changes that promote accessibility for residents with disabilities. One example of an accommodation is allowing a tenant to have their service or therapy animal even if the complex has a no pet policy. An example of a modification might be providing tenants with limited mobility access to wheelchair ramps in common areas and designated parking spots close to building entrances.
Landlords must also allow tenants with disabilities to make reasonable modifications to their own units. This is so tenants can make their unit fully accessible to their needs, especially if they use a wheelchair or walker. For example, in-unit changes could include installing grab bars, removing carpets, and lowering countertops. It’s worth noting landlords can require tenants to pay for these in-unit modifications and ask them to return a unit to its original condition before moving out.
Help with housing discrimination and other issues
If you believe you’ve been subject to housing discrimination of any sort, there are several local resources to help you. Among these is the Fair Housing Partnership of Greater Pittsburgh, which is a local nonprofit that provides free services to help victims of housing discrimination. They also help individuals with disabilities prepare requests for reasonable accommodations and modifications.
Neighborhood Legal Services (NLS) is another nonprofit that offers legal assistance and representation to low-income seniors age 60 and older. NLS can provide help with specific housing topics related to matters such as evictions, utility assistance, and issues related to disability law violations.
COVID-19 regulations for senior apartments in Pittsburgh
As of May 2023, Allegheny County doesn’t have any COVID-19 regulations in place. You’ll find most senior apartment communities follow state and local guidelines, but some may require residents to follow stricter practices, such as wearing masks in indoor common spaces. It’s always a good idea to check with a prospective community on their specific policies.
You can keep track of local data on infections, hospitalizations, and more on the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) COVID-19 dashboard. We outline current recommendations from the Allegheny County Health Department below.
Vaccinations.
All eligible residents should stay current on vaccines and boosters to better protect themselves from COVID-19 and its variants.
Quarantining.
You should isolate when you test positive for COVID-19 or when you’re sick but are waiting on test results.
CDC guidelines.
ACHD encourages residents to check the CDC’s COVID-19 page for the most current COVID-19 information and details.
