Our Services
No two households face the same situation, and no two care plans should look the same either. CareSphere starts by listening — learning who needs support, how their day is structured, what they value, and what their authorized hours allow — before putting anything on paper. We accept Community HealthChoices Waiver plans through Keystone First CHC, UPMC CHC, and PA Health & Wellness. Senior home care in Lehigh County and IDD support are also available through Pennsylvania ODP waiver authorizations when included in the participant’s active service plan.
For many older adults, home isn’t just a place — it’s the life they’ve built. Every familiar corner, every long-standing routine carries meaning. Our elderly home care in Lehigh County is built around protecting those things. Caregivers support clients with personal hygiene, safe mobility, dressing, meals, light housekeeping, and consistent companionship that makes the hours between family visits feel less empty.
Seniors who qualify for Medicaid and Community HealthChoices may be able to access this support at no out-of-pocket cost. CareSphere handles the coordination with your managed care organization from start to finish — verifying eligibility, securing authorizations, and keeping the plan current — so families aren’t left navigating it alone.
Children with developmental differences or complex health needs do best when the people supporting them show up the same way every day — calm, prepared, and familiar. Our pediatric caregivers work with families across Allentown, Bethlehem, Whitehall Township, Hanover Township, Lower Macungie Township, and surrounding Lehigh County communities, providing Family HHA services, Pediatric Shift Care, and personalized non-medical support that fits around each child’s schedule and needs.
Consistency matters enormously for these children. When a trusted caregiver is part of the daily rhythm, the whole household steadies.
For individuals living with intellectual and developmental disabilities, support that respects their goals — not just their limitations — makes all the difference. CareSphere’s IDD and ODP programs reach families across Emmaus, Salisbury Township, South Whitehall Township, Upper Macungie Township, Coopersburg, and communities throughout Lehigh County, with Direct Support Professionals who work as real partners in daily life.
We operate through the Consolidated, Community Living, P/FDS, and Adult Autism Waivers, helping individuals build practical skills, stay connected to their communities, and move toward greater independence on their own terms.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Ready to Leave Your Current Provider? We Make the Move Simple
A pattern of no-shows, unanswered phones, and constant caregiver changes isn’t something families should have to accept. If your current agency hasn’t been holding up its end, CareSphere gives you a clean path forward. We manage every part of the transition — reaching out to your previous provider, moving your records, and updating your CHC Waiver documentation — while your care continues uninterrupted throughout the process.
What you can expect from day one with CareSphere:
- Every authorized hour you currently have carries over — nothing gets lost in the move
- Our caregivers stay because the work environment and compensation actually support them
- The CareSphere Connect app puts real-time scheduling and communication in your hands, around the clock
- Training doesn’t end after orientation — our caregivers continue developing throughout their time with us

Why Families Trust CareSphere
Fast Start, No Red Tape
Once authorizations are confirmed, most families have a caregiver in place within 48 hours. Urgent situations are prioritized — we understand that waiting isn’t always an option.
Stability You Can Rely On
Caregiver turnover disrupts care and erodes trust. We’ve built our compensation structure and workplace culture specifically to keep strong caregivers on the job and with the clients they’ve built relationships with.
A Window Into Care, Any Time
The CareSphere Connect app lets families track schedules, review shift activity, and reach coordinators without making a single phone call. Full visibility, on your schedule.
Character First, Training Provided
We don’t require prior caregiving experience. We hire people who genuinely care about others and invest fully in their training — at no cost to them — so every caregiver arrives prepared and confident.

Support That's Built Around You, Not Around a Template
CareSphere works with families in many situations — a spouse supporting a partner with early dementia, adult children coordinating care from different states, or a young adult with a disability building independence. These situations rarely follow a standard path, so we adapt to each family’s needs. Whether you need a few hours of assistance, 24-hour senior home care in Lehigh County, or a paid family caregiving arrangement through Pennsylvania Medicaid, we provide support that fits your reality.
FAQs
What home care services does CareSphere provide?
We offer personal care, companion care, homemaker services, dementia support, respite care, and ODP/IDD assistance — all non-medical. We also guide families through Community HealthChoices Waiver programs to access in-home care in Lehigh County instead of a facility.
What's the difference between companion care and personal care?
Personal care involves direct physical assistance — bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility. Companion care focuses on social connection, emotional support, and household help like meals, errands, and light cleaning. Many clients benefit from both, and CareSphere can coordinate them into a single plan.
Can CareSphere help with dementia care?
Yes. Our caregivers are trained to support clients with cognitive decline through consistent routines, patient communication, and calm redirection when needed. Families receive honest, regular updates on how their loved one is doing.
Is in-home care the same as skilled home health?
No. CareSphere provides non-medical support for daily living only — personal care, companionship, homemaker services, and safety assistance. Skilled clinical care, including nursing and therapy, stays with the client’s medical providers.
Which Medicaid plans does CareSphere accept?
We accept Community HealthChoices through Keystone First CHC, UPMC CHC, and PA Health & Wellness, as well as Pennsylvania ODP waiver-funded services when included in the participant’s approved plan.
Will my care hours be affected if I transfer to CareSphere?
No. CareSphere manages the full transfer process — notifications, documentation, and CHC Waiver plan updates — so your authorized hours remain fully protected throughout the move.
Do I need caregiving experience to work with CareSphere?
No prior experience is required. We hire based on values and cover all training costs, including digital onboarding and ongoing professional development.
