The Community Health Choices (CHC) Waiver helps eligible adults receive long-term services and supports while remaining in their own homes instead of moving into a facility. Many people explore this option after experiencing changes in mobility, recovering from an illness, or managing a chronic condition that makes everyday tasks more difficult. Individuals and families throughout Harrisburg and the surrounding service area may consider this program when ongoing in-home assistance becomes part of daily living.
Support commonly provided through the service includes:
-
Assistance with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene
-
Help with meal preparation and light housekeeping
-
Support with mobility and transfers around the home
-
Medication reminders as part of daily routines
-
Companionship and supervision during scheduled visits
Services are generally provided in the individual’s home according to the authorized level of support. Assistance may be delivered on a regular schedule based on changing daily needs and personal routines. As circumstances change over time, the type or frequency of support may also be adjusted through the waiver program.
