Senior Care in Dresher, PA

Caring for a senior loved one is a beautiful act of devotion. However, it can also weigh on both your body and mind. We believe family caregivers should be recognized and compensated for their efforts. Through Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices program, you can start earning money for the care you already provide to your parents or loved ones in Dresher, PA.

How It Works

The CHC program offers support funded by Medicaid. This funding goes toward personal caregivers, including family members or friends.

Eligibility

The CHC program has a few key requirements for senior care compensation:

• Medicaid enrollment: Your senior loved one must be enrolled in Medicaid. Medicare alone is not sufficient.
• Residency: They must live in Bucks, Montgomery, or Philadelphia County.
• Help needed: The scope of work will cover daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and meal preparation.
• Income limits: As of 2024, their gross income must be at or under $2,829 per month, with a resource limit of $8,000.

How to Get Started

Call us at (215) 913-8132. We'll help you navigate the -eligibility check and enrollment process. Contact their current- service coordinator if your loved one is already receiving services through another provider. They can assist with transferring services to our agency.

Choose a Managed Care Organization (MCO) that partners with us during enrollment. Options include AmeriHealth Caritas of PA, Centene PA Health Wellness, Keystone First Choice, and UPMC. Once established in our agency, choose a caregiver. They may not be a spouse but can be any other trusted friend or family member.

Deciding to start eldercare for a family member is tough. Look for signs that their safety or well-being may be compromised.

• Physical Limitations: If a senior in your life has trouble walking or frequently falls, it might be time for mobility assistance.
• Personal Hygiene: If they neglect bathing, grooming, or dressing properly, it may be a sign they are losing their ability to care for themselves.
• Memory Loss: Repeatedly forgetting important dates and names or asking the same question repeatedly could point to cognitive decline.
• Emotional Changes: If your loved one exhibits sudden mood swings, this could indicate deeper issues.
• Neglected Household: Unpaid bills or a constantly cluttered home could indicate that your loved one is struggling and does not want to admit it.
• Missed Medications: Forgetting or taking incorrect doses of prescribed medication is a serious concern.

Spotting these signs early will improve your loved one's quality of life. If you think a senior may benefit from professional care, please reach out.
