About ACT 150

ACT 150 Waiver Services in South Park

South Park Township 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 hands-on help with daily activities. It is specifically for residents whose income places them above Medicaid waiver thresholds, so they cannot enroll in Community HealthChoices. Cost-sharing follows a sliding scale tied to income, which keeps premiums proportional to what your household can pay. Once Maximus completes eligibility screening, a service coordinator builds your plan and our caregiver delivers the actual support at home: bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, meal preparation, grooming, and light housework. Act 150 does not cover skilled nursing, which would be arranged through home health instead. The Community HealthChoices waiver covers similar attendant services through Medicaid with no age cap and a higher hour ceiling, while the Aging waiver applies to adults 60 and over. South Park sits in southern Allegheny County, with St. Clair Hospital about 15 minutes west and Jefferson Hospital roughly 10 minutes east. Our caregivers serve the southern suburbs regularly, so loved ones in South Park can usually be matched with consistent staff. Call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 to get started or to ask questions about eligibility. We can also explain what happens at age 60 when your loved one transitions to the Aging waiver.

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