Aging Waiver Services

Supporting Seniors in Wexford

Wexford families typically begin the Aging Waiver process by calling the Allegheny County Area Agency on Aging for intake and screening. Pennsylvania's Aging Waiver was the traditional program for adults 60 and older who clinically needed nursing-facility care but wanted support at home. Most of that program was integrated into Community HealthChoices in 2018, so today most participants receive services through a CHC managed care organization while families and older paperwork still reference the Aging Waiver name. 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 hours from a caregiver, adult day programs, home modifications, personal emergency response systems, and respite to give family caregivers a break. Wexford is a growing North Hills community near Pine and Marshall townships, and many older residents are aging in larger single-family homes near grown children. Care Solutions schedules caregivers across Wexford, Cranberry Township, and Gibsonia. Call (412) 341-7780 if you want help comparing CHC plans, navigating an AAA assessment, or arranging in-home hours once your loved one is approved for the program. Our team supports families daily with these next steps.

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