Supporting Seniors in Sewickley

Sewickley families usually begin the Aging Waiver process by calling the Allegheny County Area Agency on Aging for intake. Pennsylvania's Aging Waiver was the traditional program for adults 60 and older who clinically needed nursing-facility care but wanted to remain at home with paid support. Most of that population was integrated into Community HealthChoices in 2018, so today services flow through a CHC managed care organization while the Aging Waiver name still appears in older paperwork 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 information. 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 to give family caregivers relief. Sewickley sits along the Ohio River northwest of Pittsburgh, and many older residents are aging in older homes near family in Edgeworth and Sewickley Heights. Care Solutions schedules caregivers across Sewickley, Edgeworth, and Coraopolis. Call (412) 341-7780 if you want help understanding the AAA referral, comparing CHC plans, or arranging in-home hours once your loved one is approved. Our team works with families daily on each step from intake to active scheduling.

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