Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in York

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) In Pennsylvania,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-11150.pdf" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-11150.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer">Supplemental Security Income</a> (SSI) is the primary way seniors on Medicaid finance assisted living costs. Medical Assistance provides the senior population of Pennsylvania with several waiver programs. These waivers don’t fund the costs of assisted living facilities, however, which are often referred to as personal care homes (PCHs). The PA Department of Human Services is responsible for <a href="http://www.dhs.pa.gov/citizens/personalcarehomeinformation/aboutpersonalcarehomesgeneralinformation/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://www.dhs.pa.gov/citizens/personalcarehomeinformation/aboutpersonalcarehomesgeneralinformation/" rel="noopener noreferrer">regulating licensed PCHs</a>. Under the DHS guidelines, PCHs must provide shelter, supervision, meals and assistance with the activities of daily living (ADLs). If York seniors need financial assistance to fund long-term PCH care, they should consider applying for SSI. This program, which provides limited-resource individuals with a monthly income, can be used to fund PCH costs. To receive SSI, York seniors must meet certain eligibility requirements: 
<li>Individuals must be 65 years or older</li>
<li>Individuals must have little to no monthly income</li>
<li>Individuals must not possess property with a total value greater than $2,000 for individuals or $3,000 for married couples (The value of certain properties, such as homes and cars, is usually excluded from this calculation)</li>
 Eligible seniors who wish to reside in personal care homes will receive the <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-11150.pdf" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-11150.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer">Personal Care Boarding Home (PCBH)</a>&nbsp;monthly payment. This single payment, which includes federal and state funds, may total up to $1,210.30 (individual) or $2,114.40 (couple) per month. Included in this supplement is a Personal Needs Allowance (PNA). While most of the PCBH payment goes towards the recipient’s care, the PNA can be used for personal expenses.&nbsp; To learn more, call (800) 772-1213.&nbsp; Community HealthChoices Between 2018 and 2020, Pennsylvania’s Department of Human Services is transitioning away from its old system of Medical Assistance waivers. DHS is phasing in the <a href="https://yorkcountypa.gov/health-human-services/health-choices.html" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://yorkcountypa.gov/health-human-services/health-choices.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">Community HealthChoices</a>&nbsp;(CHC) Waiver.

Autumn House West is a senior housing facility that offers independent living, memory care, and personal care for seniors. With a focus on providing tailored activities to suit the needs of each resident, Autumn House West provides a safe and caring home for those who need assistance with daily living or memory loss. The staff members at Autumn House West are trained in dementia care and are always available to provide assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, doing laundry, and taking medications. This facility is also equipped with 24-hour medical professionals on call for emergencies. 

For residents who need more than just assistance with daily living or memory loss but require full-time supervision due to wandering off or aggression from Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, this facility also offers memory care services that include additional precautionary measures such as locking doors and windows. Memory care services also include mental stimulation through engaging activities such as arts projects and social outings that cater to the interests of each individual resident.

For those who want the independence offered by independent living but require some help with basic tasks such as cooking meals or managing their finances, this facility offers personal care services including housekeeping duties like tidying up after residents and laundering their clothes every day. The key difference between independent living and personal care is the level of assistance offered for daily living activities--personal care includes many more tasks while independent living only includes a few basic ones like cooking meals or managing finances without any help from staff members at all.

Country Meadows - Leader Heights has been very good. The facility is a good size and there are lots of activities. My dad can go out and eat and go on country drives, which is nice for him. They serve three meals a day, and he seems to like the food a lot. My dad's room is very nice, clean, comfortable, and came fully-furnished. The staff is very caring and attentive.
