In-Home Care for Shaler Township Residents

Working with a licensed Chapter 611 home care agency in Shaler Township gives families a layer of accountability that private hires cannot match. Chapter 611 oversight covers training records, TB tests, drug screens, and ongoing supervision visits at the home. The assessment captures the routines that already work and the gaps a caregiver needs to fill, from morning showers to evening medication reminders. Families get to meet a proposed caregiver during a meet-and-greet, and we swap out the assignment without drama if it is not a fit. Discharge referrals reach our office from both UPMC and AHN case managers, and we treat the workflow identically. For Shaler Township loved ones, that often means coordinating with discharge planners at Allegheny General Hospital or UPMC St. Margaret. 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. On the Medicaid side, we bill all three Community HealthChoices MCOs: UPMC CHC, AmeriHealth Caritas CHC, and PA Health & Wellness. The paid-family-caregiver pathway under CHC is one we use often; ask about it during the intake call. Shifts can start at four hours and scale up as needs change, with no requirement to commit to a fixed package. Shaler Township covers more ground than the borough next door, so we keep caregivers who live inside the township on the active roster.
