The OBRA Waiver supports eligible adults with physical disabilities who require ongoing assistance but prefer to remain in their own homes rather than enter institutional care. Individuals often consider this service after an injury, progressive medical condition, or disability begins affecting their ability to perform everyday tasks independently. Residents across Lancaster County and other covered Pennsylvania communities may use waiver services to receive practical in-home assistance while continuing familiar routines.
Services may include:
-
Assistance with bathing, grooming, and dressing
-
Support with mobility throughout the home
-
Meal preparation and light household tasks
-
Medication reminders during caregiver visits
-
Observation and reporting of changes to designated family members or healthcare professionals when appropriate
Services are generally provided according to the individual’s authorized waiver plan and personal schedule. Caregivers assist with approved daily activities while encouraging independence whenever possible. Service levels may be updated over time if personal circumstances or support needs change.
