Aging Waiver Services
in Greensburg

Supporting Seniors in Greensburg

Greensburg families typically start the Aging Waiver process by calling the Westmoreland 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 and family conversations. Eligibility has three parts: 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 Westmoreland County the 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, personal emergency response systems, and respite to give family caregivers a break. Greensburg is the Westmoreland County seat and home to many longtime residents who want to stay in their houses near family and church. Care Solutions schedules caregivers across Greensburg, Jeannette, and Latrobe. Call (412) 341-7780 if you want help navigating the AAA process, comparing CHC plans, or arranging hours once a service plan is in place. We work with families daily across Westmoreland County on each step of the enrollment 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 Greensburg is committed to delivering compassionate, high-quality care.
