Supporting Seniors in Pricedale

Aging Waiver enrollment from Pricedale generally starts with a call to the Westmoreland 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 support at home. The program was largely folded into Community HealthChoices in 2018, so services today flow through a CHC managed care organization while the Aging Waiver name still appears in older state documents and family discussions. 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 information, then enrollment moves through a CHC MCO. Westmoreland 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 to give family caregivers a break. Pricedale is a small Mon Valley community along the Monongahela River near Belle Vernon and Charleroi. Care Solutions schedules caregivers across Pricedale, Rostraver, and Monessen. Call (412) 341-7780 if you want help understanding the AAA process, comparing CHC plans, or coordinating care once your loved one is approved for the program. We support families through every step.

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