Home Care Agency in
Forest Hills, PA

In-Home Care for Forest Hills Residents

Agency care in Forest Hills starts with a written care plan and a caregiver match, not with a generic service contract. Chapter 611 oversight covers training records, TB tests, drug screens, and ongoing supervision visits at the home. Our intake nurse documents fall risks, transfer needs, dietary restrictions, and any equipment in the home before we propose a schedule. Matching is where agencies live or die; we take the time to introduce a caregiver before the first shift whenever possible. 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 Forest Hills loved ones, that often means coordinating with discharge planners at Forbes Hospital or UPMC East. We work alongside Allegheny County Area Agency on Aging case managers based at the Bigelow Boulevard office. Most Medicaid-eligible households we serve are enrolled in one of the three CHC plans (UPMC CHC, AmeriHealth Caritas CHC, PA Health & Wellness) and pay nothing out of pocket. 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. We staff anything from a single morning shift per week to 24/7 coverage with two- and three-caregiver rotations. Forest Hills is a small borough by population, which keeps caregiver drive times short and shift coverage steady during bad weather.
