About ACT 150

ACT 150 Waiver Services in North Apollo

North Apollo residents starting an Act 150 application 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 serves residents whose income disqualifies them from the Medicaid-funded Community HealthChoices waiver. Cost-sharing operates on a sliding scale tied to household income, so the monthly premium adjusts to what your family can reasonably pay. Once 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 light housework. Skilled nursing services are not covered by Act 150 and would be coordinated separately through home health. CHC offers similar attendant services through Medicaid with no age cap and a higher service ceiling, while the Aging waiver applies to adults 60 and older. North Apollo is in Armstrong County along the Kiskiminetas River, with Allegheny Valley Hospital in Natrona Heights about 20 minutes west and Armstrong County Memorial Hospital roughly 30 minutes north. Our caregivers serve the lower Armstrong and upper Allegheny County corridor regularly, which makes consistent scheduling realistic for loved ones in North Apollo. Call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 to begin. We can also walk you through documentation Maximus will request during the intake process.

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