Looking for home care in York County, PA? CareSphere provides Medicaid-covered in-home and personal care across York, Hanover, Red Lion, Dover, and nearby towns.

How CareSphere Supports York County Families
No two households arrive at CareSphere with the same story — some need a few hours of help a week, others need daily support tied to a specific waiver program. Rather than starting from a template, our team builds each plan around a real conversation about the person’s routine, health needs, and comfort level with having someone new in the home. CareSphere is contracted with Keystone First CHC, UPMC Community HealthChoices, and PA Health & Wellness, and also supports York County residents through Pennsylvania’s ODP waiver system where those services are already part of an approved plan.
Most seniors would rather grow older in their own home than move somewhere unfamiliar, and CareSphere exists to make that realistic. As one of the home care agencies in York, PA families have relied on for years, we help with the daily tasks that add up — bathing, dressing, grooming, getting around safely, cooking, tidying up, and simply having someone present who notices when something’s off.
For seniors on Medicaid or enrolled in Community HealthChoices, in-home care York County services may come at little or no cost out of pocket. Our office handles the back-and-forth with the managed care plan directly, so the family isn’t the one stuck on hold sorting out authorizations.
Many seniors enrolled in Medicaid and Community HealthChoices may be able to receive senior care in Monroe at no out-of-pocket cost. CareSphere works directly with your managed care organization to confirm eligibility and manage authorizations — taking that process off your plate entirely.
A child with a developmental delay or a medical complexity thrives when the people around them are predictable. CareSphere trains caregivers to learn a child’s specific cues, follow the household’s existing routines, and stay calm through the hard moments rather than escalating them. Families across York, West York, Springettsbury, and Dover Township use our Family HHA and Pediatric Shift Care services, all tailored to a specific child’s needs on a specific day rather than a generic care plan.
When a trained caregiver is in place, parents get back time and mental space they’d otherwise spend managing shifts, paperwork, and last-minute gaps.
Adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities deserve support that helps them move toward their own goals, not just get through the day. CareSphere’s Direct Support Professionals work throughout York County under the Consolidated, Community Living, P/FDS, and Adult Autism Waivers, focusing on skill-building, community involvement, and relationships that last longer than a single shift.
The goal isn’t compliance with a task list — it’s helping someone build the kind of independence they’re actually working toward.
