Aging Waiver Services
in Cranberry Township

Supporting Seniors in Cranberry Township

Cranberry Township families usually start the Aging Waiver process by calling the Butler County Area Agency on Aging to request an intake. Pennsylvania's Aging Waiver served adults 60 and older who clinically needed nursing-facility care but preferred support at home. The program was largely folded into Community HealthChoices in 2018, so today most participants receive services through a CHC managed care organization while the Aging Waiver name still appears in older paperwork. Eligibility has three components: PA residency, age 60 or older, clinical eligibility based on a level-of-care assessment, and financial eligibility under Medicaid rules. The AAA arranges the in-home assessment and helps document financial information. In Butler County the CHC MCOs are UPMC Community HealthChoices, AmeriHealth Caritas CHC, and PA Health & Wellness. Approved services include personal assistance from a caregiver, adult day programs, home modifications, personal emergency response systems, and respite to give family caregivers a break. Cranberry Township is one of the fastest-growing communities in Western PA, and many newer residents are now caring for parents who relocated to be closer to grandchildren. Care Solutions schedules caregivers across Cranberry, Mars, and Seven Fields. Call (412) 341-7780 if you want help understanding the AAA process, choosing a CHC MCO, or coordinating care after a hospital discharge. Our team works directly with families to keep loved ones safely at home.

The Pennsylvania Aging Waiver program provides essential services that allow seniors to remain in their homes and communities rather than moving to a nursing facility. Our dedicated team in Cranberry Township is committed to delivering compassionate, high-quality care.
