ACT 150 Waiver Program
in Dawson, PA
Supporting Dawson residents with physical disabilities to live independently at home through Pennsylvania's ACT 150 waiver program.
ACT 150 Waiver Services in Dawson
Dawson residents pursuing Act 150 services should contact Maximus, the state's independent enrollment broker, at 1-877-550-4227. Act 150 is Pennsylvania's state-funded attendant care program for adults 18 to 59 with a physical disability who need help with the activities of daily living. The program is meant for residents whose income places them above Medicaid limits, so they cannot use the Community HealthChoices waiver. Cost-sharing operates on a sliding scale tied to household income, which keeps the monthly premium proportional to what your family can pay. After Maximus completes eligibility, a service coordinator builds your plan and our caregiver provides hands-on support at home: bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, meal prep, grooming, and light housekeeping. Skilled nursing services are not part of Act 150 and would be coordinated separately through home health. By comparison, CHC is Medicaid-funded with no age cap and a higher hour ceiling, while the Aging waiver applies to adults 60 and over. Dawson is in Fayette County along the Youghiogheny River, with Highlands Hospital in Connellsville about 10 minutes south and Excela Frick in Mount Pleasant roughly 15 minutes north. Our caregivers serve the Connellsville and Perryopolis corridor regularly, which makes consistent scheduling realistic for loved ones in Dawson. Call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 to begin the application or to ask any eligibility questions. Our intake team can answer cost-share questions before you place the call to Maximus.
