In-Home Care for Edgewood Residents

Agency care in Edgewood starts with a written care plan and a caregiver match, not with a generic service contract. A Chapter 611 license is not a formality; it requires written care plans, supervisor visits, and documented caregiver competencies on file. The initial visit is free and there is no pressure to commit; families often use it as a sanity check before deciding on hours. Caregiver matching looks at availability, driving distance, skill set, and personality fit before we propose names. Hospital discharges in this part of the county can route through either UPMC or AHN, and we handle referrals from both networks the same way. For Edgewood loved ones, that often means coordinating with discharge planners at UPMC Shadyside or Forbes Hospital. Allegheny County's Area Agency on Aging on Bigelow Boulevard handles OPTIONS program referrals, and we coordinate with their care managers regularly. If your loved one already has a Service Coordinator through UPMC CHC, AmeriHealth Caritas CHC, or PA Health & Wellness, ask them to send the referral to Care Solutions of Pittsburgh. If a family member is already providing the bulk of care unpaid, the CHC Waiver can sometimes pay them for those hours through our agency. Families often start with two short visits a week and add hours once they see how the loved one responds. Edgewood is a small borough by population, which keeps caregiver drive times short and shift coverage steady during bad weather.
