Frequently Asked Questions (Lehigh County)
How does the Paid Family Caregiver program work in Lehigh County?
If your relative resides in Lehigh County and qualifies for a PA Medicaid Waiver program (such as Community HealthChoice), they can select you as their paid personal caregiver. Accu Home Care handles your employment setup, state paperwork, and weekly direct deposit payroll.
Which Community HealthChoice (CHC) plans do you accept in Lehigh County?
We accept all active CHC managed care organizations operating in Eastern Pennsylvania, including UPMC Community HealthChoice, PA Health & Wellness, and AmeriHealth Caritas.
Can I become a paid caregiver if I live outside Lehigh County while my relative lives here?
Yes. As long as the individual receiving care lives in Lehigh County (or anywhere in Pennsylvania) and meets PA Medicaid Waiver criteria, your physical residence location within PA does not prevent participation.
How fast can care services or caregiver payroll begin in Lehigh County?
Once PA Medicaid Waiver eligibility is verified and the schedule of care is confirmed, we can match you with an in-home caregiver or complete your family caregiver registration within 24 to 48 hours.
