About ACT 150

ACT 150 Waiver Services in Rochester

Rochester residents pursuing Act 150 enrollment should contact 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 built for residents whose income places them above Medicaid limits, so they cannot use the Community HealthChoices waiver. Cost-sharing follows a sliding scale tied to household income, which keeps premiums proportional to what families can pay. After Maximus completes the eligibility screen, a service coordinator builds your plan and our caregiver provides hands-on support at home: bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, meal prep, grooming, and routine housekeeping. Act 150 does not include skilled nursing, which is handled separately through home health. By comparison, CHC is Medicaid-funded and covers similar services with no age cap and a higher hour ceiling, while the Aging waiver applies to adults 60 and over. Rochester is in Beaver County at the confluence of the Beaver and Ohio Rivers, with Heritage Valley Beaver about five minutes west and Heritage Valley Sewickley roughly 20 minutes east. Our caregivers cover the Beaver County corridor regularly, so consistent scheduling for loved ones in Rochester is realistic. Call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 to begin the application and we will help you coordinate next steps. We can also explain what tasks are excluded from attendant care so families plan realistically.

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