Attended care

Background

The Attendant Care Waiver is a Home and Community-Based program that provides services and assistance to individuals with physical disabilities. These in-home services provide care to individuals who require nursing level facility care. These services allow the individual to receive care in their own home and stay integrated with their own community, increasing quality of life and independence.
These services are provided to eligible individuals with physical disabilities who meet the following criteria:

• U.S. citizen or permanent resident
• PA resident between the ages of 18-59, with provisions to transition to a comparable program at age 60
• Physical impairment that is expected to last for 12 continuous months, minimum or may result in death
• Must be mentally alert and be able to manage/direct own care
• Must require assistance to complete functions for daily living, self-care, and mobility
• Income limit of 300% the federal benefit rate and an asset limit of $8,000

Our Services

As an attended care provider, we work to provide quality non-medical services to individuals to help them live as independently as possible at home and within their community. These comprehensive services help to improve the individuals’ quality of life by assisting them with daily tasks and other aspects of independent living, enabling them to stay in their own homes and participate in their communities.

The services we provide under this program include:

• Community transition services
• Personal Assistance services for activities such as dressing, eating, toileting, and bathing
• Personal Emergency Response System (PERS)
• Service coordination assistance

Participants in this program have decision-making authority over some of their community supports, goods and other services they receive. At Sensible Home Healthcare, we provide quality care and comprehensive services to our clients can gain peace of mind when it comes to their attended care needs.
