ACT 150 Waiver Program
in Yukon, PA
Supporting Yukon residents with physical disabilities to live independently at home through Pennsylvania's ACT 150 waiver program.
ACT 150 Waiver Services in Yukon
Yukon families exploring Act 150 should call Maximus, the independent enrollment broker, at 1-877-550-4227. Act 150 is Pennsylvania's state-funded attendant care program serving adults between 18 and 59 who have a physical disability and need help with the activities of daily living. Because it is state-funded rather than Medicaid-funded, the program reaches working-age adults whose income places them above the Community HealthChoices waiver threshold. Cost-sharing is set on a sliding scale, so monthly contributions reflect household income. Once Maximus confirms eligibility, you are referred to a service coordinator who works with your family to build the plan. Our caregiver then provides the hands-on support at home: bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, meal prep, grooming, and routine housekeeping. Act 150 does not include skilled nursing, which is arranged separately through home health. CHC covers similar attendant services through Medicaid with no age cap and a higher service ceiling, while the Aging waiver serves adults 60 and over. Yukon is in Westmoreland County, with Excela Westmoreland in Greensburg about 20 minutes east and UPMC McKeesport roughly 25 minutes west. Our team staffs caregivers across southern Westmoreland regularly, so a steady match for loved ones in Yukon is usually achievable. Call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 to begin the application process. If you are not sure whether your loved one qualifies, our intake staff can review the basic criteria with you over the phone before you call the broker.
