Home Care Agency in Lancaster County, PA — Trusted Support, Right Where It’s Needed

Our Services
A good care plan starts with a real conversation — not a form. CareSphere takes time to understand the full picture: who the person is, what their day looks like, what matters to them, and what their authorized program covers. From that foundation, we build something that actually works. CareSphere accepts Community HealthChoices Waiver plans through Keystone First CHC, UPMC CHC, and PA Health & Wellness, and serves Lancaster County residents through Pennsylvania ODP waiver authorizations when services are part of the participant’s approved plan.
Getting older doesn’t mean giving up the life you’ve built. For many families, the goal isn’t finding a facility — it’s finding a way to stay home safely. Elderly care in Lancaster through CareSphere is built exactly for that. Our caregivers provide personal hygiene assistance, help with dressing and mobility, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and reliable companionship that keeps isolation from quietly taking hold.
Seniors enrolled in Medicaid and Community HealthChoices may qualify for senior care in Lancaster at no out-of-pocket cost. CareSphere manages everything with your managed care organization — from eligibility checks to service authorizations — so families spend their energy on the relationship, not the paperwork.
Children with developmental differences or complex health needs thrive on consistency. When the same trusted caregiver shows up each morning, understands the child’s routines, and knows how to handle the hard moments, the whole household runs better. CareSphere’s pediatric team serves families across Manheim Township, East Hempfield Township, Lititz, Ephrata, Elizabethtown, and surrounding communities, delivering Family HHA services, Pediatric Shift Care, and personalized non-medical support built entirely around the child’s daily schedule.
Parents who have spent years managing everything alone finally have someone they can rely on.
Real independence for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities isn’t built overnight — it’s developed steadily, with the right people alongside you. CareSphere’s IDD and ODP programs serve residents across Lancaster City, Columbia, Millersville, Quarryville, Manor Township, and communities throughout Lancaster County, with Direct Support Professionals who genuinely invest in the people they support.
Through the Consolidated, Community Living, P/FDS, and Adult Autism Waivers, CareSphere helps individuals develop life skills, participate in their communities, and live with greater day-to-day independence — in ways that reflect who they are, not just what they need.

Time to Move On From Your
Current Provider? We'll Handle the Transition
Families shouldn’t have to settle for missed shifts, unreturned calls, or a new face every other week. If your current agency has made an already difficult situation harder, CareSphere offers a clean way out. We take over the transition completely — contacting your previous provider, moving records, and updating your CHC Waiver plan — while your care continues without interruption. You focus on your family; we handle the rest.
Here's what changes when you join CareSphere:
- Your authorized care hours carry over fully — the transition doesn’t cost you a single hour
- Caregivers stay because they’re genuinely supported — better pay, better scheduling, a workplace that treats them well
- The CareSphere Connect app gives families real-time visibility into schedules, shift updates, and caregiver communications
- Training is ongoing — our caregivers grow throughout their time with us, not just during orientation

Why Families Choose CareSphere
Care That Starts Without Delay
Most clients have a caregiver in place within 48 hours of authorization being confirmed. We move quickly because we know families rarely have the luxury of waiting.
Caregivers Who Show Up — and Stay
Inconsistency is one of the most damaging things in home care. CareSphere’s retention rates are built on paying caregivers fairly, treating them with respect, and creating an environment where good people want to stay.
Full Visibility Through Technology
The CareSphere Connect app gives families a real-time window into care — who’s scheduled, when they arrived, and how to reach someone if anything comes up. Transparency isn’t a feature; it’s the baseline.
No Experience Required to Join Our Team
CareSphere hires for character, then builds competence. All training is fully covered — digital onboarding, hands-on instruction, and continued development throughout the caregiver’s time with us.

Care Begins
Most families receiving home care in Lancaster have a caregiver within two days of authorization, with urgent cases prioritized for faster support.
Care Built Around the Actual Situation
Families contact CareSphere at different stages: some plan ahead while things are still manageable, others reach out after months of handling care alone. This may involve Alzheimer’s support for a parent living alone, guidance with an ODP waiver, or reliable daily help when relatives live far away. CareSphere works with your real circumstances and arranges support that fits — from a few hours a week to more involved care.
FAQs
What does CareSphere offer as a home care agency in Lancaster County?
CareSphere provides non-medical home care — personal care, companion care, homemaker services, respite care, and ODP/IDD support. We also help families understand and access Community HealthChoices Waiver programs so eligible individuals can receive care at home instead of in a facility.
What's included in elderly care in Lancaster through CareSphere?
Elderly care covers personal hygiene, dressing, safe mobility, meals, light housekeeping, and companionship — delivered by a consistent caregiver on a regular schedule. Over time, that caregiver becomes a stable, familiar presence in the client’s daily life.
What is companion care, and who is it for?
Companion care is for individuals who are largely independent but benefit from social engagement, emotional support, and help with everyday household tasks. It’s a good fit for older adults living alone who need a reliable, caring presence — not hands-on personal care.
How do I know if my family member qualifies for home care in Lancaster through Medicaid?
Eligibility depends on the individual’s Medicaid enrollment and managed care plan. CareSphere works directly with Community HealthChoices plans — Keystone First CHC, UPMC CHC, and PA Health & Wellness — to verify eligibility and manage authorizations on your behalf.
Can CareSphere support someone with Alzheimer's or dementia at home?
Yes. Our caregivers are experienced in supporting clients with cognitive decline, using structured routines, patient communication, and calm redirection to maintain safety and comfort at home. Families receive consistent updates throughout.
What makes CareSphere different from other home care providers in Lancaster?
CareSphere combines strong caregiver retention, real-time communication through the CareSphere Connect app, fast onboarding, and hands-on program support. Families get a reliable, transparent experience — not just a caregiver placed and forgotten.
Can I transfer to CareSphere from another agency without disrupting care?
Yes. CareSphere manages the entire transition — provider notifications, record transfers, and CHC Waiver plan updates — so authorized hours and care continuity are fully protected throughout the move.
Do I need prior experience to become a caregiver with CareSphere?
No. CareSphere hires based on values and covers all training costs, including digital onboarding and ongoing development. Family members looking to become paid caregivers through Pennsylvania Medicaid are also welcome to apply.
