A clear starting point for families reviewing care at home.
CareLuxe Solutions is a Pittsburgh-area home care agency. Many families come to us while trying to understand Community HealthChoices, home and community-based services, and where Medicaid fits. We can discuss non-medical home care services and point you to official resources without processing applications, guaranteeing eligibility, or determining who may be paid as a caregiver.
Community HealthChoices is Pennsylvania's managed care program for long-term services and supports. Official Pennsylvania channels handle applications, enrollment, plan selection, eligibility, and coverage decisions.
Support at home
What home and community-based services can mean
Home and community-based services are waiver-funded services or programs that may help eligible people receive support at home or in another community setting instead of a long-term care facility. Each program has its own rules and services.
Coverage context
Where Medicaid fits
Medicaid may be part of the coverage context for people who qualify for Community HealthChoices, long-term services and supports, or waiver-funded services. Eligibility depends on program rules and individual circumstances. CareLuxe Solutions does not decide Medicaid eligibility or coverage.
CareLuxe Solutions role
What CareLuxe Solutions can and cannot do
CareLuxe Solutions can provide non-medical home care, respite, daily support information, and official program links. We cannot submit public benefit applications, guarantee coverage, or decide whether a family caregiver can be paid.
