Supporting Seniors in Slickville

Aging Waiver enrollment from Slickville generally starts with a call to the Westmoreland County Area Agency on Aging for intake and screening. The Aging Waiver was Pennsylvania's longstanding program for 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 services flow through a CHC managed care organization while families and older state documents still use the Aging Waiver name. 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 document financial information, 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. Slickville is a small rural village near the Indiana County line, and many older residents have lifelong ties to neighbors along the back roads near Saltsburg. Care Solutions schedules caregivers across Slickville, Saltsburg, and Delmont. Call (412) 341-7780 if you want help navigating the AAA paperwork, picking a CHC plan, or starting service hours once your loved one is approved. Our team works with families on each step of the 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 Slickville is committed to delivering compassionate, high-quality care.
