Home care in Pennsylvania

Care at home. From us, or from the person you already trust.

We do two things. We send trained caregivers to your home. And we help family members get paid by Medicaid for the care they already give. Either way, we handle all the paperwork.

How can we help you?

I care for a family member

You already do the work. Medicaid may pay you for it. We check if you qualify, do the forms, and pay you every week.

See if I qualify

I need care at home

We can match you with one of our trained, dedicated caregivers or help you sign up a family member or friend you already know and trust to be your paid caregiver.

Find care

I want to switch agencies

Not happy where you are? Moving to us is easy. You keep your same caregiver - we sort out everything else.

Switch to Accu

One agency. Two kinds of care.

Some families want a trained caregiver to come in. Others want a family member to do the caring - and get paid for it. We do both, so you can pick what works for your home.

  • Our caregivers. Trained, background-checked caregivers who come to your home - a few hours a week or every day.
  • Family caregivers. We help your relative get paid through PA Medicaid. We do the paperwork and pay them weekly.
  • Medicaid or not. We check if Medicaid will cover it. If not, we'll talk you through simple private payment.

Common questions

Quick answers to what people ask us most.

Can a family member really get paid to be a caregiver in Pennsylvania?

Yes, absolutely. Under Pennsylvania’s Medicaid Waiver programs (such as Community HealthChoices), participants have the right to choose who provides their personal care. This means an adult child, relative, or friend can legally be hired as their official caregiver. Accu Home Care Services steps in as the state-authorized employer agency to manage your background checks, training, compliance, and weekly payroll.

What specific geographic regions do you cover?

We actively serve multiple counties throughout Pennsylvania. Our primary, localized care networks are concentrated heavily across the Southeast region, and we also extend dedicated service coverage into the Midwestern parts of the state.

How do we know if our loved one qualifies for a PA Medicaid Waiver?

To qualify, the individual generally needs to meet certain state medical requirements for nursing-facility-level care and fit within Medicaid’s financial eligibility limits. Because navigating state applications can be complicated, our team will gladly help you assess their current status and guide you through the official waiver enrollment paperwork.

Do you offer care options if we do not qualify for Medicaid?

Yes. For families who do not qualify for state-backed waiver programs, we offer flexible, structured Private Pay arrangements. We will work alongside you to design a personalized care schedule that matches your family’s specific budget and daily routines without sacrificing the quality of support.

How quickly can we get started with care or enrollment?

Getting started is simple. Contact our team by calling 412-524-2228 or emailing info@accuhc.com. We will immediately schedule a free, comprehensive care consultation to look over your needs, evaluate program eligibility, and outline the fastest path forward for your family.

How much can I earn as a family caregiver?

It depends on the hours that get approved and which program you’re in. Call us and we’ll give you an honest estimate for your situation.

Who can be the paid caregiver?

Most adult family members, friends, or neighbors who can legally work in the US. In PA, spouses and the person’s power of attorney can’t.

Does the person getting care pay anything?

Not under the Medicaid programs - Medicaid covers it. If you pay privately instead, we tell you the cost upfront. No surprises.

Can I switch to Accu and keep my caregiver?

Yes. Your caregiver stays the same - only the agency changes. We time it so nobody misses a paycheck.

Do I need training or a certificate?

Not to care for family. We give you the short orientation the program requires - that’s it. Our own agency caregivers are trained and checked separately.
