ACT 150 Waiver Program
in Newell, PA
Supporting Newell residents with physical disabilities to live independently at home through Pennsylvania's ACT 150 waiver program.
ACT 150 Waiver Services in Newell
Newell residents starting the Act 150 process 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 help with daily personal care. The program is designed for residents whose income places them above Medicaid limits, so they cannot enroll in 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 eligibility screening, a service coordinator builds your plan and our caregiver delivers 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 adults 60 and over. Newell is in Fayette County along the Monongahela River, with Mon Valley Hospital about 10 minutes north and Uniontown Hospital roughly 25 minutes south. Our caregivers serve the Brownsville and California corridor regularly, which makes consistent scheduling realistic for loved ones in Newell even in smaller boroughs. Call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 to begin the application or to ask about coordination. We can also explain how Act 150 hours differ from CHC hours if your situation later changes.
The ACT 150 program is Pennsylvania's commitment to helping individuals with physical disabilities live with dignity and independence. Through this program, Newell residents can access essential services that make it possible to remain at home rather than moving to a care facility.
