Supporting Seniors in Glassport

Aging Waiver enrollment from Glassport generally begins with a call to the Allegheny County Area Agency on Aging for intake and screening. The Aging Waiver was Pennsylvania's traditional program for adults 60 and older who clinically needed nursing-facility care but wanted to stay at home with paid support. Most of that population was rolled into Community HealthChoices in 2018, so services today are coordinated through a CHC managed care organization while the older Aging Waiver name still appears in state notices and family conversations. To qualify, your loved one must be a PA resident, age 60 or older, clinically eligible after a level-of-care assessment, and financially eligible under Medicaid limits. The AAA performs the in-home assessment and helps confirm financial eligibility. Allegheny County 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 for family. Glassport is a small Mon Valley borough along the river near McKeesport, and many older residents have lived in the same row houses since the glass and steel days. Care Solutions schedules caregivers across Glassport, McKeesport, and Clairton. Call (412) 341-7780 if you need help working through the AAA process or coordinating care once your loved one is approved for the program.

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