ACT 150 Waiver Program
in West Newton, PA
Supporting West Newton residents with physical disabilities to live independently at home through Pennsylvania's ACT 150 waiver program.
ACT 150 Waiver Services in West Newton
West Newton residents starting an Act 150 application 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 hands-on help with daily activities. The program serves residents whose income disqualifies them from the Medicaid-funded Community HealthChoices waiver. Cost-sharing operates on a sliding scale tied to household income, which keeps the monthly premium proportional to what your family can pay. Once Maximus completes eligibility screening, 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 services are not covered by Act 150 and would be coordinated separately 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. West Newton is in Westmoreland County along the Youghiogheny River, with UPMC McKeesport about 15 minutes west and Excela Westmoreland in Greensburg roughly 20 minutes east. Our caregivers serve southern Westmoreland and the Mon Valley regularly, which makes consistent scheduling realistic for loved ones in West Newton. Call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 to begin the application and we will help coordinate with Maximus and the service coordinator. We can also explain what happens at age 60 when your loved one transitions to the Aging waiver.
