Caregiver assisting elderly

 

At SCU, we are dedicated to serving adults with disabilities, as well as the aging population, of Pennsylvania.

 

We are able to coordinate home care assistance for participants in the Act 150 Program and the OBRA Waiver.

 

Act 150 Program and OBRA Waiver

The Act 150 Program and the OBRA Waiver provide an independent living alternative to individuals who would otherwise require nursing home placement.

 

 

Act 150 Program

The Act 150 Program offers a long-term care option for individuals who meet the clinical eligibility for Pennsylvania’s home and community-based services but exceed the income limit for Medicaid.  Eligible participants in the Act 150 Program may have a co-pay for their services. The following services are currently available to recipients of the program:

  • Personal Assistance Services
  • Personal Emergency Response System
