ACT 150 Waiver Program
in McKeesport, PA
Supporting McKeesport residents with physical disabilities to live independently at home through Pennsylvania's ACT 150 waiver program.
ACT 150 Waiver Services in McKeesport
McKeesport residents starting an Act 150 application 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 daily activities. It is designed for residents whose income places them above Medicaid waiver limits, so they cannot enroll in the Community HealthChoices waiver. Cost-sharing is calculated on a sliding scale tied to household income, which keeps the monthly premium proportional to what your family can pay. After Maximus completes the eligibility screen, a service coordinator develops your plan and our caregiver provides hands-on support at home: bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, meal prep, grooming, and routine housekeeping. Skilled nursing services are not covered by Act 150 and would be coordinated separately through home health. By comparison, CHC is Medicaid-funded with no age cap and a higher service ceiling, while the Aging waiver applies to people 60 and over. McKeesport is in Allegheny County at the confluence of the Monongahela and Youghiogheny Rivers, and UPMC McKeesport sits in the heart of the city, making follow-up appointments and acute care close to home. Our caregivers cover the Mon Valley regularly, so loved ones in McKeesport can usually be matched with consistent staff. Call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 to begin. We can also explain what changes if your loved one later qualifies for the Medicaid CHC waiver.
The ACT 150 program is Pennsylvania's commitment to helping individuals with physical disabilities live with dignity and independence. Through this program, McKeesport residents can access essential services that make it possible to remain at home rather than moving to a care facility.
