Good to know

Questions Pennsylvania family caregivers ask

Yes, in many cases. If your parent has Pennsylvania Medicaid through a program like Community HealthChoices (CHC), they can choose you as their paid caregiver. CareSphere checks eligibility for free, handles the paperwork and payroll, and you are paid for the hours your parent is approved for.

Adult children, grandchildren, siblings, other relatives and close friends or neighbors may qualify. Spouses cannot be paid caregivers under Community HealthChoices, and a legal guardian or payee cannot serve either. Other programs have their own rules, so call us and we will check your family for free.

Usually yes, and Medicare alone is not enough. Programs like Community HealthChoices (adults 21+ who need a nursing-facility level of care) and ODP waivers run through Pennsylvania Medicaid. Act 150 is state-funded for some adults with physical disabilities who do not qualify for Medicaid. We will tell you which program fits.

It is how a parent can become their own child's paid caregiver. You complete free Home Health Aide training, CareSphere employs you as a pediatric home health aide, and you care for your child at home. It is for children on Pennsylvania Medicaid managed care plans, in Philadelphia, Allentown, Reading, Bethlehem and Pittsburgh.

Many parents can through the Family HHA Program. CareSphere is also a pediatric home care agency, so if your child needs nursing or shift care, we can help with that too. Call us and we will walk through your child's plan.

Pay depends on the program, your county and the hours your loved one is approved for. We tell you your rate on the first call. Get paid daily, right after your shift.

No. Caregivers complete onboarding and required caregiver training, and no prior experience is needed. Parents in the Family HHA Program complete free Home Health Aide training.

Typically within about 48 hours of your first call, once your plan authorizes services. The paperwork is 100% digital.

We work with all three Community HealthChoices plans: Keystone First / AmeriHealth Caritas, UPMC and PA Health & Wellness. Not sure which plan you have? Call and we will check.

Sí. Si su ser querido califica para un programa de Medicaid de Pensilvania, la mayoría de los familiares pueden ser contratados como cuidadores pagados (los cónyuges no, bajo CHC). Nuestros coordinadores hablan español. Llámenos al (610) 868-1801.

Yes. Pennsylvania Medicaid programs can pay a family member to care for a loved one at home in every county, including Philadelphia, Lancaster, Allegheny, Berks, Lehigh and Northampton. CareSphere has offices in Bethlehem, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and helps families statewide. Call and we will confirm your options.

Often, yes. If your family member has Pennsylvania Medicaid and is approved for home care hours, they can usually choose a relative as their paid caregiver. The rules vary by program, so we check your family for free before you do anything.

Call us or fill out the form. We check your loved one's Medicaid and program, your loved one chooses you as their caregiver, you finish onboarding and training, and you start caring for them at home. You get paid daily, right after your shift.

It is the common name for Pennsylvania Medicaid programs, mainly Community HealthChoices, that let a person who needs care at home choose a family member or friend as their paid caregiver. An agency like CareSphere hires the caregiver, handles training and payroll, and does the paperwork.

Not under Community HealthChoices. Spouses cannot be paid caregivers under CHC, but adult children, grandchildren, siblings, other relatives and friends usually can. Call us and we will check the options for your family.

Often, yes. If your parent has Pennsylvania Medicaid, lives in Pennsylvania and needs help with daily activities, a family member can usually be their paid caregiver, including for a parent living with dementia or Alzheimer's. We check eligibility for free.

Yes. Pennsylvania has continued to allow parents to be paid as home health aides for their own children on Medical Assistance. Through our Family HHA Program, parents complete free Home Health Aide training and CareSphere employs them to care for their child at home.

It depends on the hours your loved one's plan approves after their care assessment. You are paid for the approved hours you work.

Help with bathing, dressing, grooming, meals, getting around the home, light housekeeping, errands and companionship, based on your loved one's care plan.

Already have a home care agency? You can switch to CareSphere with no gap in care.
