When caring for an aging loved one, families often search for programs that balance independence, safety, and dignity. In Pennsylvania, the Options Waiver is a valuable resource that helps older adults remain at home while receiving the support they need. Understanding how this program works can give families the peace of mind to make informed decisions.

What Is the Options Waiver?
The Options Waiver is designed for individuals aged 60 and older who wish to stay in their own homes rather than move into institutional care. It provides access to home and community-based services that promote comfort, independence, and well-being. This waiver is especially important for seniors who require daily assistance but want to maintain the familiarity and security of their home environment.
