ACT 150 Waiver Program
in Oakdale, PA
Supporting Oakdale residents with physical disabilities to live independently at home through Pennsylvania's ACT 150 waiver program.
ACT 150 Waiver Services in Oakdale
Applying for the Act 150 program in Oakdale starts with a call to the independent enrollment broker, Maximus, at 1-877-550-4227. Act 150 is Pennsylvania's state-funded attendant care program for adults ages 18 to 59 who have a physical disability and need hands-on help with daily tasks. The key distinction is that Act 150 serves people whose income is too high for Medicaid, so they cannot use the Community HealthChoices waiver. Cost-sharing is set on a sliding scale tied to your income, so the program flexes with what each household can pay. Maximus completes the functional eligibility screen, confirms PA residency, and refers approved applicants to a service coordinator. From there, a caregiver from our agency comes into the home to help with bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, meal prep, and light housekeeping. Act 150 does not pay for skilled nursing; it covers attendant care for activities of daily living. People who turn 60 typically move to the OPTIONS or Aging waiver, and people who become Medicaid-eligible usually shift to CHC, which has a higher service ceiling and no age cap. Oakdale sits in western Allegheny County, with quick access to Heritage Valley Sewickley and the larger UPMC and AHN hospital systems in Pittsburgh. Our office staffs caregivers across the western suburbs, so loved ones in Oakdale can usually be matched without long delays. Call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 to start.
