Medicaid Waiver Support

Medicaid Waiver Support in Philadelphia

Everyone deserves the choice to live safely at home. Medicaid Waiver programs make that possible by covering long-term care outside of a facility. In Pennsylvania, the Community HealthChoices (CHC) Waiver helps seniors and people with disabilities remain in their communities with the support they need.


We start by helping you confirm eligibility, reviewing income and medical requirements, and guiding you through the paperwork so nothing is missed. From there, we walk you through the application with the independent enrollment broker and make sure you know exactly what documentation is needed.


Once approved, we make it easy to choose Chosen Family Home Care as your provider. We build a personalized care plan, match you with the right caregiver, and continue to support you as your needs change. Whether it’s your first time applying or you’re switching providers, we make the process smooth and stress free.


If you reach out today, we’ll also send you a free eligibility guide and step-by-step instructions to help you feel confident and prepared every step of the way.

Who Can Benefit from Waiver Support

Through Community HealthChoices and the VA, approved family members can be compensated for providing care, ensuring loved ones receive support from those they trust most. HealthChoices Medicaid waiver program supports seniors needing daily help, adults with physical disabilities or chronic health conditions, children with special needs, and individuals leaving hospitals or nursing homes. Family caregivers can also qualify to get paid for providing care at home, and we help make that possible.

What You’ll Receive

Waiver programs include personal care like bathing, dressing, grooming, light housekeeping, medication help, meal prep, and mobility support. Services also extend to respite care, transportation, dementia care, skilled nursing, and even 24-hour plans, each tailored to meet your specific needs.
