Common Questions

Clear answers

How much can a family caregiver earn?

Up to $1,500 a week, depending on the hours approved in the care plan. Pay is weekly by direct deposit, with a daily pay option.

Can a family member be the caregiver?

Yes. Adult children, relatives and close friends can be hired, trained and paid. Spouses and legal guardians may have state restrictions, which we'll explain during your assessment.

Does Medicaid pay for home care?

Yes, for those who qualify. Pennsylvania's CHC and OBRA waivers cover in-home personal care. Act 150 is a state program for adults who don't qualify for Medicaid, and a cost share may apply.

Can I transfer from another agency?

Yes. You can switch agencies and, in most cases, keep the same caregiver. We coordinate the change with your plan.

How long does enrollment take?

If your loved one already has active Medicaid and an approved waiver, care can begin within 48–72 hours. If you need to apply, we guide you through the state assessments, which typically take a few weeks.
