About ACT 150

ACT 150 Waiver Services in Rillton

Rillton 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 help with daily activities. The program is designed for residents whose income disqualifies them from Medicaid waivers, so it serves working-age adults who cannot use Community HealthChoices. Cost-sharing is set on a sliding scale tied to household income, which keeps the monthly premium proportional to what your family can pay. Once Maximus completes the eligibility screen, a service coordinator builds your plan and our caregiver delivers hands-on support at home: bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, meal prep, grooming, and light housekeeping. Skilled nursing services are not part of Act 150 and would be coordinated 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. Rillton is in Westmoreland County, with Excela Westmoreland in Greensburg about 15 minutes east and UPMC East in Monroeville roughly 15 minutes west. Our caregivers serve the Irwin and Jeannette corridor regularly, which makes consistent scheduling realistic for loved ones in Rillton. Call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 to begin the application or to discuss eligibility questions. We can also walk through the documents Maximus will ask for during intake.

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