About ACT 150

ACT 150 Waiver Services in Mount Pleasant

Mount Pleasant residents who want to apply for Act 150 should call 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 hands-on help with daily personal care. The program is designed for residents whose income places them above Medicaid limits, so they cannot use the Community HealthChoices waiver. Cost-sharing follows a sliding scale tied to household income, which keeps the monthly premium proportional to what your family can pay. Once Maximus completes the eligibility screen, a service coordinator builds 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 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 service ceiling, while the Aging waiver applies to adults 60 and over. Mount Pleasant is in Westmoreland County and home to Excela Frick Hospital, which provides acute care close to home for loved ones in the area. Our caregivers serve the Mount Pleasant and Scottdale corridor regularly, which makes consistent scheduling realistic. Call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 to begin the application or to ask any questions about how attendant care is delivered.

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