ACT 150 Waiver Program
in Jeannette, PA
Supporting Jeannette residents with physical disabilities to live independently at home through Pennsylvania's ACT 150 waiver program.
ACT 150 Waiver Services in Jeannette
Jeannette 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 activities of daily living. The program is designed for people whose income is too high for Medicaid, which means they cannot use the Community HealthChoices waiver. Cost-sharing is calculated on a sliding scale based on household income, so the monthly premium adjusts to what your family can manage. After Maximus completes eligibility, a service coordinator develops your plan and our caregiver provides the day-to-day support at home: bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, meal prep, grooming, and light housekeeping. Skilled nursing tasks are not part of Act 150 and would be coordinated through home health instead. CHC offers similar services through Medicaid with no age cap and a higher service ceiling, while the Aging waiver serves adults 60 and over. Jeannette is in Westmoreland County, with Excela Westmoreland in Greensburg about 10 minutes east and UPMC East in Monroeville roughly 20 minutes north. Our caregivers cover the Route 30 corridor regularly, which makes consistent shift coverage realistic for loved ones in Jeannette. To begin, call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 and we will walk you through every step. We can also explain what tasks are excluded so families have realistic expectations.
The ACT 150 program is Pennsylvania's commitment to helping individuals with physical disabilities live with dignity and independence. Through this program, Jeannette residents can access essential services that make it possible to remain at home rather than moving to a care facility.
