in Herminie, PA
Supporting Herminie residents with physical disabilities to live independently at home through Pennsylvania's ACT 150 waiver program.
ACT 150 Waiver Services in Herminie
Herminie residents who want to enroll in Act 150 should call Maximus, the 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 daily personal care. The program is meant for people whose income disqualifies them from Medicaid waivers, so it gives working-age adults a real path to support at home. Cost-sharing is set on a sliding scale based on income, so the contribution adjusts to what your household can manage. After Maximus confirms eligibility and assigns you to a service coordinator, our caregiver provides hands-on help with bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, meal prep, grooming, and light cleaning. Act 150 covers attendant care, not skilled nursing, which is arranged through a separate home health benefit. By comparison, the Community HealthChoices waiver is Medicaid-funded with no age cap and a higher service ceiling, and the Aging waiver covers adults 60 and older. Herminie is in Westmoreland County, with Excela Westmoreland in Greensburg about 15 minutes away and UPMC East in Monroeville roughly 25 minutes north. Our caregivers regularly serve the Sewickley Township area, so loved ones in Herminie usually can be matched with a consistent staff member. Call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 to begin the application or ask any questions. We can also walk you through what to expect during the in-home functional assessment.
