ACT 150 Waiver Program
in West Elizabeth, PA
Supporting West Elizabeth residents with physical disabilities to live independently at home through Pennsylvania's ACT 150 waiver program.
ACT 150 Waiver Services in West Elizabeth
West Elizabeth residents who want to apply for 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 who have a physical disability and need hands-on help with the activities of daily living. The program is meant for residents whose income is too high to qualify for Medicaid, so they cannot use the Community HealthChoices waiver. Cost-sharing operates on a sliding scale tied to income, which keeps the monthly premium proportional to what your household can pay. Once Maximus completes the eligibility screen, a service coordinator builds your plan and our caregiver provides the actual hands-on support: bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, meal prep, grooming, and light housekeeping. Act 150 does not include skilled nursing, which would be coordinated separately through home health. CHC offers similar services through Medicaid with no age cap and a higher service ceiling, while the Aging waiver covers adults 60 and over. West Elizabeth is in Allegheny County along the Monongahela River, with Jefferson Hospital about 10 minutes north and UPMC McKeesport roughly 15 minutes east. Our caregivers serve the Mon Valley corridor regularly, so loved ones in West Elizabeth can usually be matched with consistent staff. Call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 to begin. We can also walk through the cost-share worksheet so there are no surprises later.
The ACT 150 program is Pennsylvania's commitment to helping individuals with physical disabilities live with dignity and independence. Through this program, West Elizabeth residents can access essential services that make it possible to remain at home rather than moving to a care facility.
