Our Services
People age differently, live differently, and need different kinds of help. That’s why we don’t hand every new client the same plan. We sit with the person, learn their world, and design services around what their day actually looks like — factoring in their health situation, household, and authorized program hours. CareSphere accepts Community HealthChoices Waiver plans through Keystone First CHC, UPMC CHC, and PA Health & Wellness. Home care in Northampton County is also available through Pennsylvania ODP waiver authorizations when services are part of the participant’s approved plan.
Your parents built their life at home — their kitchen, their garden, their neighborhood. Senior care helps protect that life. Our caregivers take care of morning routines, personal hygiene, safe movement around the house, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and the kind of steady companionship that makes a real difference on a quiet afternoon.
Northampton County seniors enrolled in Medicaid and Community HealthChoices may qualify for this support without leaving their home or paying out of pocket. CareSphere manages every step with your managed care organization — eligibility verification, service authorization, and plan coordination — so the family isn’t buried in paperwork while trying to take care of someone they love.
Children with medical complexities or developmental needs thrive when they have a consistent, caring presence that understands their world. Our pediatric caregivers serve families across Easton, Bethlehem, Palmer Township, Forks Township, Hanover Township, and nearby communities, delivering Family HHA services, Pediatric Shift Care, and personalized non-medical support built around each child’s schedule.
Whether it’s help getting ready in the morning, support during school hours, or reliable supervision at home, our caregivers show up as a steady, dependable part of the child’s daily life — giving parents the confidence that their child is in good hands.

Others are first-time caregivers who have just realized the weight of it all and need real, immediate support.

FAQs
What home care services does CareSphere provide in Northampton County, PA?
CareSphere offers non-medical home care, covering personal care, companion and homemaker services, dementia care, respite relief, and ODP/IDD support. We also assist families in navigating Community HealthChoices Waiver programs so they can access home-based services instead of facility placement.
What does senior care actually look like day to day?
Senior care is practical and personal. A caregiver arrives on a consistent schedule to help with bathing, dressing, grooming, meals, light housekeeping, and safe movement around the home. Over time, that caregiver becomes a familiar, trusted presence — which matters enormously for older adults who value routine and dignity above everything else.
Can CareSphere provide dementia care in Northampton County at home?
Yes. Our approach to dementia care centers on structured routines, clear and patient communication, and a calm environment that reduces confusion and anxiety. Caregivers trained in dementia support understand how to handle difficult moments with kindness, keep clients safe, and provide families with honest updates about how their loved one is doing.
What is home care assistance, and how does it differ from medical home health?
Home care assistance covers non-medical support with daily living — bathing, dressing, meals, housekeeping, companionship, and safe supervision. It is different from skilled home health, which involves nursing, therapy, or clinical procedures. CareSphere provides home care assistance only; medical treatment remains the responsibility of doctors, nurses, and licensed clinical providers.
Which Medicaid plans does CareSphere accept for Northampton County home care?
We accept Community HealthChoices plans from Keystone First CHC, UPMC CHC, and PA Health & Wellness. Pennsylvania ODP waiver-funded services are also accepted when they are listed in the participant’s active service plan.
Can I switch to CareSphere without losing my current care hours?
Yes. Transferring agencies does not put your authorized hours at risk when CareSphere manages the process. We handle all provider notifications, documentation, and CHC Waiver plan updates, keeping your benefits fully intact throughout the move.
Do I need caregiving experience to work with CareSphere?
No experience is required to join our team. We hire people with the right values and provide fully paid training, digital onboarding, and hands-on supervision so every caregiver — whether brand new or a family member stepping into the role — is ready to deliver quality home care assistance in Northampton County, PA.
