Many Pennsylvania families are surprised to learn that Medicaid waiver programs can pay for in-home caregiving services, not just nursing home care. These programs, sometimes called Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers, are designed to help people remain safely and independently in their own homes for as long as possible.
Eligibility generally depends on income, assets, and a documented need for a nursing-facility level of care. A caseworker will typically complete an assessment to determine the number of care hours approved each week.
Once approved, families can often choose their home care provider. Pavan Homecare works with families throughout Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, Chester, Lehigh, Northampton, Berks, and Schuylkill counties to navigate paperwork, coordinate with case managers, and get compassionate care started quickly.
