Aging Waiver Services
in Murrysville

Supporting Seniors in Murrysville

Murrysville families usually begin the Aging Waiver process by calling the Westmoreland County Area Agency on Aging to request an intake. Pennsylvania's Aging Waiver was the longstanding program for adults 60 and older who clinically needed nursing-facility care but wanted to stay at home with paid support. The program was largely folded into Community HealthChoices in 2018, so today most services are delivered through a CHC managed care organization while the Aging Waiver name still appears in older paperwork. Eligibility requires PA residency, age 60 or older, a clinical level-of-care determination, and financial qualification under Medicaid limits. The AAA arranges the in-home assessment and helps with financial documentation, then enrollment moves through a CHC MCO. Westmoreland County participants choose among 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 for family caregivers. Murrysville is a large suburban municipality along Route 22 east of Pittsburgh, and many older residents are aging in single-family homes set back on wooded lots. Care Solutions schedules caregivers across Murrysville, Monroeville, and Delmont. Call (412) 341-7780 if you want help comparing CHC plans, navigating an AAA assessment, or scheduling hours once your loved one is approved for the program. Our team supports families daily through the steps from intake to active services.

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