ACT 150 Waiver Program
in Star Junction, PA
Supporting Star Junction residents with physical disabilities to live independently at home through Pennsylvania's ACT 150 waiver program.
ACT 150 Waiver Services in Star Junction
Star Junction families looking into 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 help with the activities of daily living. The program is built for residents whose income places them above Medicaid waiver thresholds, so they cannot use the Community HealthChoices waiver. Cost-sharing follows a sliding scale tied to household income, which keeps premiums proportional to what your family can pay. After 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 tasks fall outside Act 150 and would be coordinated through home health instead. By comparison, CHC is Medicaid-funded with no age cap and a higher hour ceiling, while the Aging waiver applies to people 60 and over. Star Junction is in Fayette County, with Highlands Hospital in Connellsville about 15 minutes east and Mon Valley Hospital roughly 20 minutes north. Our caregivers cover rural Fayette regularly, so loved ones in Star Junction can usually be matched with consistent staff even outside the larger boroughs. Call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 to begin the application and we will help you coordinate every step. We can also explain what happens if your loved one later becomes eligible for the Medicaid CHC waiver.
The ACT 150 program is Pennsylvania's commitment to helping individuals with physical disabilities live with dignity and independence. Through this program, Star Junction residents can access essential services that make it possible to remain at home rather than moving to a care facility.
