ACT 150 Waiver Program
in New Eagle, PA
Supporting New Eagle residents with physical disabilities to live independently at home through Pennsylvania's ACT 150 waiver program.
ACT 150 Waiver Services in New Eagle
New Eagle residents pursuing Act 150 enrollment 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 activities of daily living. The program serves people whose income is too high for Medicaid, so they cannot use the Community HealthChoices waiver. Cost-sharing operates on a sliding scale tied to income, meaning monthly premiums adjust to what your household can afford. After Maximus completes the eligibility process, a service coordinator builds your plan and our caregiver delivers hands-on support: bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, meal prep, and light housekeeping. Skilled nursing tasks like wound care or medication administration fall outside Act 150 and would be coordinated through home health. The Community HealthChoices waiver is Medicaid-funded with no age cap and a higher service ceiling, while the Aging waiver covers adults 60 and over. New Eagle is in Washington County along the Monongahela River, with Monongahela Valley Hospital about 10 minutes south and UPMC McKeesport roughly 15 minutes north. Our caregivers cover the Mon Valley regularly, which makes consistent scheduling realistic for loved ones in New Eagle. To begin, call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 and we will help you coordinate next steps with Maximus. We can also discuss what changes if your loved one later becomes Medicaid-eligible and shifts to CHC.
