About ACT 150

ACT 150 Waiver Services in Elco

Elco residents who want to apply for Act 150 should call Maximus, Pennsylvania's independent enrollment broker, at 1-877-550-4227. Act 150 is the 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 serves people whose income places them above Medicaid limits, so they cannot enroll in the Community HealthChoices waiver. Cost-sharing operates on a sliding scale, which means the monthly contribution reflects your household income rather than a flat fee. After Maximus confirms eligibility, a service coordinator builds your plan and our caregiver provides the hands-on support: bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, meal prep, grooming, and light housekeeping. Skilled nursing services are not covered by Act 150 and would be handled separately through home health. CHC offers similar services through Medicaid with no age cap and a higher service ceiling, while the Aging waiver covers adults 60 and older. Elco is in Washington County along the Monongahela River, with Monongahela Valley Hospital about 10 minutes north and Mon Valley Hospital roughly the same distance. Our caregivers cover the Mon Valley corridor regularly, which makes consistent scheduling realistic even in smaller boroughs. To begin, call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 and we will walk you through paperwork and coordination with the broker. Our intake team can answer questions about the cost-share before you commit to applying.

The ACT 150 program is Pennsylvania's commitment to helping individuals with physical disabilities live with dignity and independence. Through this program, Elco residents can access essential services that make it possible to remain at home rather than moving to a care facility.
