Caregivers also help identify hazards in the home such as loose rugs or poor lighting.
Is mobility assistance covered by Medicaid in Pennsylvania?

Coverage depends on medical eligibility and assessed care needs. Families typically must complete an in home assessment to determine the number of approved hours.
What is the difference between mobility assistance and physical therapy?
Mobility assistance focuses on daily support with safe movement and transfers, while physical therapy is medical treatment designed to improve strength, balance, and rehabilitation outcomes. Physical therapists create treatment plans, while caregivers follow established care plans to support safe day to day mobility.

Families often consider mobility assistance after noticing increased falls, difficulty standing, unsteady walking, or fear of moving independently. Online caregiver communities frequently recommend early intervention before a serious fall occurs, as prevention is easier than recovery.
