CareSphere helps Allentown families find Medicaid-supported care without forcing a loved one to leave the comfort of home. Our Lehigh Valley team coordinates personal care, senior support, pediatric home care, and ODP services for adults with disabilities, with many approved clients able to start services within about 48 hours.
Serving Your Neighborhood
When someone you love starts needing help, the first question is often not “What service do we need?” but “How can we keep life stable at home?” CareSphere is a licensed, Medicaid-approved home care agency in Allentown that helps answer both questions. We work with families across the Lehigh Valley to coordinate care that fits daily routines, personal goals, and approved coverage.
Our role is to make the process clearer. We help older adults who want to age in place, parents caring for a child with additional needs, and adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities who benefit from structured support. From reviewing care options to working through Lehigh County documentation, we help families take one manageable step at a time.
What We Do
Our caregivers deliver compassionate, dependable Allentown home care for people who need
assistance with everyday living while remaining in familiar surroundings.
01
Senior care Allentown families arrange through CareSphere can include help with getting dressed, bathing, moving safely through the home, preparing food, remembering medications, and staying socially engaged. It is flexible support that helps an older adult keep their routine while reducing pressure on relatives.

Personal care is for the essential tasks that can become difficult after illness, injury, disability, or age-related changes. Caregivers may assist with hygiene, dressing, mobility, and other daily routines according to the client’s authorized plan.
03
Children who have medical, developmental, or ongoing care needs may benefit from support delivered in their own home. Our pediatric home care services give families a path to explore care options, and eligible parents may be able to become paid caregivers through the Family HHA Program.

Family Caregiver Program
Caring for a loved one can mean coordinating meals, personal routines, transportation, and constant check-ins while balancing a job or household of your own. For eligible families, Pennsylvania Medicaid may allow a relative to be paid for providing authorized care. CareSphere helps Allentown caregivers determine whether a program may apply and supports them through training, documentation, and onboarding.
Get Paid to Care for Your Child
The Family HHA Program can give eligible Allentown-area parents a way to provide paid, approved care for their own child. CareSphere assists families across the Lehigh Valley with understanding Medicaid requirements and completing the steps needed to become an authorized Home Health Aide.
We review Medicaid coverage and
whether the child’s needs may meet program criteria.
Parents receive the HHA training required for the caregiver role.
We help you work through certification and onboarding documents.
After approval, many eligible parents can begin providing care and earning within approximately 48 hours.
Paying for Care
Pennsylvania Community HealthChoices may pay for authorized long-term services and supports for eligible adults. As a state-licensed provider working with Community HealthChoices plans, CareSphere helps families in Allentown verify coverage, understand the assessment process, and review authorized care hours before care starts. Plan decisions, eligibility, and the final service schedule are determined individually.
We support households in Allentown, Whitehall, South Whitehall, Salisbury Township, Emmaus, and Catasauqua while coordinating with Lehigh County Aging and
Adult Services.
For families in Bethlehem and Fountain Hill near Allentown’s eastern edge, we work with the Northampton County Area Agency on Aging.
Where We Work

the West End and Cedar Crest area (18104), East Allentown and Lehigh Parkway (18103), and neighborhoods around Old Allentown and the north side (18102 and

Yes, it can for people who qualify for Pennsylvania Medicaid and Community HealthChoices. The plan may cover authorized personal assistance services at home. Our team checks the person’s coverage and explains the approved benefits before services are arranged.
For eligible older adults, Medicaid and Community HealthChoices can fund approved senior care services instead of requiring private payment for those authorized hours. Eligibility, assessments, and health-plan approval determine what care is available. We can help you identify the next step for your family.
Community HealthChoices is generally for Pennsylvania residents age 21 or older who qualify for Medicaid and need long-term assistance because of aging, an illness, or a disability. Financial rules and a functional-needs assessment are part of the determination. We can explain how the process applies to your loved one.
Personal care is intended for non-medical support with activities such as bathing, dressing, transfers, mobility, meals, and reminders. Skilled nursing is appropriate when clinical services are needed, such as treatments performed by licensed nurses or therapists. A care coordinator can help distinguish the two.
Potential schedules depend on the needs assessment and the number of hours a health plan authorizes. Some clients need assistance at regular times each day, while others need limited weekly visits. We work to match caregiver visits to the approved plan and the household’s preferred routine.
The start date is influenced by factors such as Medicaid enrollment, assessment completion, authorization, requested shift times, and caregiver availability. Once those pieces are in place, many clients can begin receiving home care Allentown services within about 48 hours.
Eligible parents may be able to provide paid care through the Family HHA Program when their child has qualifying needs and Medicaid coverage. CareSphere can help review the requirements, arrange training, and guide the parent through certification and onboarding.
ODP services offer individualized home and community support for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Depending on the authorized plan, services may help with daily living skills, meaningful activities, safety, community participation, and independent living goals.
In some situations, Medicaid-supported programs allow an eligible family caregiver to be paid for authorized work. The specific answer depends on the client’s eligibility, the program rules, the family relationship, and the approved care plan. We can help you review the situation.
