Our Services
Before we talk about services, we talk about people. Who they are, how they live, what their household looks like, and what their program authorizations allow. Only then do we put together a plan. CareSphere accepts Community HealthChoices Waiver plans through Keystone First CHC, UPMC CHC, and PA Health & Wellness, and provides home care assistance in Berks County through Pennsylvania ODP waiver authorizations when services are included in the participant’s active plan.
For many Berks County seniors, the idea of leaving home — the neighbors, the garden, the chair by the window — is more distressing than the health challenges themselves. Senior care in Berks County through CareSphere is built around preserving that life. Caregivers support clients with personal hygiene, dressing, safe movement around the home, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and steady companionship that makes the quieter parts of the day feel less empty.
Seniors enrolled in Medicaid and Community HealthChoices may be able to access this support without paying out of pocket. CareSphere handles the coordination with your managed care organization directly — eligibility verification, service authorizations, and ongoing plan management — so the family isn’t left navigating the system while also trying to provide care.
Children with developmental differences or complex health needs do best with caregivers who understand their world and show up the same way every time. Our pediatric caregivers serve families across Reading, Wyomissing, Muhlenberg Township, Exeter Township, Spring Township, and surrounding Berks County communities, delivering Family HHA services, Pediatric Shift Care, and individualized non-medical support built around each child’s daily schedule and needs.

Consistency isn’t just helpful for these children — it’s foundational. The right caregiver, showing up reliably, changes how the whole household functions.
Building independence for someone with an intellectual or developmental disability is a long-term process that requires patience, skill, and genuine investment.

No Long Wait to Get Started
Once authorizations are in place, most families have a caregiver in the home within 48 hours. For urgent situations, we move even faster.

The CareSphere Connect app lets families track who is scheduled, confirm arrivals, and reach coordinators at any hour — no phone tag, no uncertainty.
We Build Every Caregiver From Day One

Support That Meets Your Family Where It Is
Families turn to CareSphere in different situations. Some have supported an aging parent for years and can no longer manage alone. Others are adjusting to a new diagnosis — dementia, stroke, or a developmental disability — and need guidance on what to do next. Some need a few hours of help each day; others require more involved care. CareSphere adapts services to each case, whether it’s companion care, extended home care in Berks County, or a paid family caregiving option through Pennsylvania Medicaid.
FAQs
What home care services does CareSphere provide in Berks County, PA?
CareSphere provides non-medical home care across Berks County, including personal care, companion care, homemaker services, respite care, and ODP/IDD assistance. We also help families access Community HealthChoices Waiver programs so eligible individuals can receive support at home rather than in a facility.
Who is companion care in Berks County right for?
Companion care is a good fit for individuals who are largely independent but benefit from regular social engagement, emotional support, and help with daily household tasks. It’s particularly valuable for older adults living alone who need a consistent, caring presence without requiring hands-on personal care.
How does senior care actually work on a daily basis?
A caregiver arrives on a consistent schedule and assists with bathing, dressing, grooming, meals, light housekeeping, and safe movement around the home. Over time, the caregiver becomes a familiar, trusted part of the client’s routine — which matters deeply for older adults who rely on stability and predictability.
Can CareSphere support someone with dementia at home in Berks County?
Yes. Our caregivers are trained to work with clients experiencing cognitive decline, using structured routines, patient communication, and calm, consistent redirection to maintain safety and comfort at home. Families receive regular, honest updates throughout.
What does home care assistance mean, and how is it different from medical home health?
Home care assistance covers non-medical daily living support — personal care, companionship, homemaker services, and safety oversight. It is distinct from skilled home health, which involves licensed clinical services like nursing or therapy. CareSphere is a non-medical provider; all medical and clinical care remains with the client’s healthcare team.
Which Medicaid plans does CareSphere accept in Berks County?
We accept Community HealthChoices plans through Keystone First CHC, UPMC CHC, and PA Health & Wellness. Pennsylvania ODP waiver-funded services are also accepted when included in the participant’s active service plan.
Can I transfer to CareSphere from my current agency without losing care hours?
Yes. CareSphere manages the full transfer process — provider notifications, documentation, and CHC Waiver plan updates — so your authorized hours remain fully protected throughout the move.
How much caregiver coverage can CareSphere arrange?
CareSphere coordinates care schedules based on authorized program hours and individual needs. For clients who require extended or more frequent coverage, we work with families to build a schedule that fits — reach out to our team to discuss what’s available under your current plan.
Do I need prior experience to become a caregiver with CareSphere?
No. CareSphere hires based on values and character, and covers all training costs — including digital onboarding and ongoing professional development. Family members interested in becoming paid caregivers through Pennsylvania Medicaid are also welcome to apply.
