Supporting Seniors in Gastonville

Enrolling in the Aging Waiver from Gastonville usually begins with a call to the Washington-Greene Area Agency on Aging for intake and screening. The Aging Waiver was Pennsylvania's longtime program for adults 60 and older who clinically needed nursing-facility care but preferred support at home. Most of that population was folded into Community HealthChoices in 2018, so today services flow through a CHC managed care organization while families and older documents still use the Aging Waiver name. To qualify, your loved one must be a PA resident, age 60 or older, clinically eligible based on a level-of-care assessment, and financially eligible under Medicaid limits. The AAA arranges the in-home assessment and helps confirm financial information. Washington County CHC MCOs are UPMC Community HealthChoices, AmeriHealth Caritas CHC, and PA Health & Wellness. Approved services include personal assistance hours from a caregiver, adult day programs, home modifications such as ramps and bathroom upgrades, personal emergency response devices, and respite to give family caregivers a break. Gastonville sits along Mingo Creek near Finleyville, and many older residents are still active in local churches and volunteer fire companies. Care Solutions schedules caregivers across Gastonville, Finleyville, and Peters Township. Call (412) 341-7780 if you want help navigating the AAA paperwork, picking a CHC plan, or starting service hours once your loved one is approved. Our team supports families through every step of the enrollment and scheduling process.

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 Gastonville is committed to delivering compassionate, high-quality care.
