About ACT 150

ACT 150 Waiver Services in Zelienople

Zelienople residents who want to apply for Act 150 should start by contacting Maximus, the 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 help with the basic activities of daily living. Unlike the Community HealthChoices waiver, Act 150 is not Medicaid-funded, so it serves people whose income is too high to qualify for CHC. Cost-sharing works on a sliding scale based on household income, which keeps the program accessible for working families. Maximus completes the functional and financial eligibility screens, then refers approved applicants to a service coordinator. From there, our caregiver delivers the actual hands-on support: bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, meal preparation, grooming, and light housework. Skilled nursing services fall outside Act 150 and would be handled separately. CHC covers similar services through Medicaid with a higher service ceiling and no age limit, while the Aging waiver serves adults 60 and older. Zelienople is in southern Butler County, with UPMC Passavant about 15 minutes south and Butler Memorial Hospital roughly 20 minutes north. Our caregivers serve the Cranberry and Zelienople corridor regularly, so loved ones can usually be matched with a consistent caregiver. Call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 to talk through eligibility and scheduling. If you have a Medicaid denial letter or recent tax return ready, that speeds the process.

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