Home Care Agency in
McCandless, PA
Care Solutions of Pittsburgh is a licensed home care agency serving McCandless and the rest of Allegheny County. Personal care, companionship, and senior home care that helps residents age in place.
In-Home Care for McCandless Residents
When a household in McCandless reaches out to Care Solutions of Pittsburgh, the first step is a free in-home assessment. Choosing a licensed agency means the state of Pennsylvania is auditing our caregiver files, not just our intentions. During the in-home visit we map out a written care plan covering personal care, light housekeeping, meal prep, and companionship hours. Our scheduler holds back-up caregivers in each ZIP code, which keeps call-offs from turning into missed shifts. 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 McCandless loved ones, that often means coordinating with discharge planners at UPMC Passavant or Allegheny General Hospital. For households not on Medicaid, the Allegheny County Area Agency on Aging on Bigelow Boulevard can sometimes cover a portion of caregiver hours through OPTIONS. Community HealthChoices through UPMC CHC, AmeriHealth Caritas CHC, or PA Health & Wellness usually covers personal care hours at no cost when clinical eligibility is met. Adult children who have moved back in to help often qualify to be hired and paid as the official caregiver. We staff anything from a single morning shift per week to 24/7 coverage with two- and three-caregiver rotations. McCandless runs under home-rule governance, but the licensing and CHC rules we follow are the same as anywhere else in the county. Families across Pittsburgh and Western PA reach us at (412) 341-7780, and McCandless households get the same call-back turnaround as everyone else.

Home Care Agency in McCandless — FAQ
Is UPMC Passavant right in McCandless, and how does that help home care?
Yes — UPMC Passavant's main hospital campus is on McKnight Road in McCandless itself. Many of our McCandless clients are discharged from Passavant directly to home, and we often have a caregiver in place before they arrive. It's one of the easiest discharge-to-home workflows in Allegheny County.
Does Medicare cover the home care a McCandless senior would get from your agency?
Traditional Medicare generally covers short-term skilled home health (nursing, PT, OT) — not long-term personal care. For the bathing, dressing, and companionship services Care Solutions provides, most McCandless families pay via Medicaid/CHC Waiver, long-term care insurance, or private pay.
Can caregivers take McCandless seniors to North Park for exercise?
Yes. North Park's walking paths, boathouse, and senior pavilions border McCandless, and several of our clients enjoy regular walks there with a caregiver. Getting outside safely is a real benefit for mood, sleep, and mobility.
