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
How long does it take to get a caregiver started after I reach out?
Most families looking for in-home care in Lehigh County have a caregiver in place within 48 hours after authorization is confirmed. If the situation is urgent — hospital discharge or sudden changes — we prioritize cases and move faster.
Will my authorized hours stay the same if I switch to CareSphere from another agency?
Yes. Every authorized hour you currently have carries over when you transition to CareSphere. We manage the entire transfer — reaching out to your previous provider, moving your records, and updating your CHC Waiver documentation — so your care continues without interruption, and nothing gets lost in the process.
Can a family member get paid to care for my loved one through this program?
Qualifying family caregivers may be able to receive compensation through Pennsylvania Medicaid Waiver and Community HealthChoices. CareSphere guides families through every step of the application and enrollment process to help determine eligibility. We can’t guarantee approval, but we’ll make sure you understand exactly what’s available and help you pursue it.
My child has developmental differences and needs consistent support. Can CareSphere work with our schedule and routine?
Yes. We provide structured home care services in Lehigh County for children, including consistent schedules, pediatric support, and personalized care that fits daily routines.
How do I know what's happening during a caregiver's shift if I can't always be there?
CareSphere Connect, our mobile app, gives families real-time visibility into schedules and shift activity — without needing to make a phone call. You can reach coordinators, review updates, and stay informed at any time of day. You don’t have to wonder or chase anyone down for answers.
I need support for someone with an intellectual or developmental disability, not just senior care. Do you handle that?
Yes. CareSphere’s IDD and ODP programs are designed specifically for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our Direct Support Professionals work as real partners in daily life — supporting life skills, community participation, and independence — through the Consolidated, Community Living, P/FDS, and Adult Autism Waivers. Support respects each person’s goals, not just their limitations.
