ACT 150 Waiver Program
in Ardara, PA
Supporting Ardara residents with physical disabilities to live independently at home through Pennsylvania's ACT 150 waiver program.
ACT 150 Waiver Services in Ardara
Ardara families looking into Act 150 should plan to call Maximus, the state's independent enrollment broker, at 1-877-550-4227. Act 150 is Pennsylvania's state-funded attendant care program for adults ages 18 to 59 with a physical disability who need help with the basic activities of daily living. It is built for people whose income places them above Medicaid waiver limits, so they cannot enroll in Community HealthChoices. The cost share works on a sliding scale: your monthly contribution is based on income, and many participants pay only modest premiums. Once Maximus completes the functional and financial eligibility screens, you are referred to a service coordinator who builds the service plan with you. Our caregiver then helps your loved one with bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, meal prep, and routine housekeeping. Act 150 does not cover skilled nursing care, which is handled separately through home health. CHC offers similar services through Medicaid with no age cap and a higher hour ceiling, while the Aging waiver serves adults 60 and older. Ardara is in Westmoreland County, with Forbes Hospital in Monroeville about 20 minutes away and Excela Westmoreland in Greensburg roughly 15 minutes east. Our caregivers serve the eastern suburbs regularly, so matching a consistent caregiver in Ardara is usually straightforward. Call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 to begin. We can also help you understand the cost-share worksheet before you commit.
The ACT 150 program is Pennsylvania's commitment to helping individuals with physical disabilities live with dignity and independence. Through this program, Ardara residents can access essential services that make it possible to remain at home rather than moving to a care facility.
