Residential Services for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities

Pittsburgh Mercy offers persons with intellectual disabilities individualized residential service options in many communities. Persons may choose to reside in private homes or apartments in the community. Some programs offer around-the-clock staff supervision. Our Supported Housing and Lifesharing programs offer more independent living environments.

Community Homes

Pittsburgh Mercy operates dozens of licensed community homes in Allegheny County. These homes are sometimes referred to as Community Living Arrangements (CLAs). In our community homes, one to four individuals live together in a home or apartment and receive supports and services based on their individual safety, medical, behavioral, and recreational needs. Levels of support vary from a minimum of 30 hours per week to around-the-clock staff supervision.

For more information or to schedule a tour, please call 412-344-6400.


Supported Housing Program

Pittsburgh Mercy’s Supported Housing Program is designed for individuals who require 30 or fewer hours of supervision per week. Our staff supports individuals based on their specific needs. This may include, but is not limited to, help with money management, medical appointments, and assistance with locating and using other community services.

For more information or to schedule a tour, please call 412-344-6400.


Supported Living Program

Pittsburgh Mercy’s Supported Living Program is designed to support participants who live in their own home (owned, leased, or rented) in the community. We empower participants in acquiring, maintaining, or improving the skills necessary to live more independently, be more productive, and participate more fully in community life. We support participants in the following areas:’

  • Self-care, including health maintenance and wellness activities
  • Meal preparation
  • Decision making
  • Home management
  • Managing personal resources
  • Communication
  • Mobility and transportation
  • Relationship development and socialization
  • Personal adjustment
  • Participating in community functions and activities, and the use of community resources.

For more information, please call 412-344-6400.


Lifesharing Program

Lifesharing, also known as family living or shared living, is an alternative living choice for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Lifesharing offers adults and children with various needs the opportunity to live and share life experiences with an unrelated companion or family in a private home. Together, they form a caring household.

The Lifesharing Program also offers options and supports to individuals who reside with natural family members.

Pittsburgh Mercy provides ongoing education, supervision, and support to Lifesharing individuals, families of origin, and provider families. We’ve proudly matched more than a dozen individuals and families who share similar lifestyles and interests.

For more information, please call 412-344-6400.
