My 86 soon to be 87 year old Dad has lived at South Hills Square for the last almost two years. I feel so glad Dad does not have to worry about maintaining a home, going up and down stairs, not having to worry about making meals or cleaning his living space. Staff are wonderful and go above and beyond to make their residents comfortable and safe. Campus is clean, beautiful location, very well maintained. Very happy he is here.
Ann Bart
The staff is excellent. I am very disappointed as is advertised as independent living and this is false as more than 50% of residents should be in assisted living or memory care. It is depressing and difficult to manage daily.
Pam Smith
I helped move my parents here. They are very happy and I am very thankful for all the help I received moving them.
