ACT 150 Waiver Program
in Pleasant Unity, PA
Supporting Pleasant Unity residents with physical disabilities to live independently at home through Pennsylvania's ACT 150 waiver program.
ACT 150 Waiver Services in Pleasant Unity
Pleasant Unity families exploring Act 150 should call Maximus, Pennsylvania's independent enrollment broker, at 1-877-550-4227. Act 150 is the state-funded attendant care program for adults 18 to 59 with a physical disability who need hands-on help with the activities of daily living. The program is built for residents whose income disqualifies them from Medicaid waivers, so it serves working-age adults who cannot use Community HealthChoices. Cost-sharing operates on a sliding scale tied to household income, which keeps the monthly premium proportional to what your family can pay. Once Maximus completes eligibility, 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. Pleasant Unity is in Westmoreland County, with Excela Latrobe Hospital about 10 minutes east and Excela Westmoreland in Greensburg roughly 15 minutes west. Our caregivers serve the Greensburg and Latrobe corridor regularly, which makes consistent scheduling realistic for loved ones in Pleasant Unity. Call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 to begin the application or to ask questions about eligibility and coordination. Our intake team can also answer cost-share questions before you contact Maximus.
