Living independently is a goal many individuals with physical disabilities strive for. In Pennsylvania, the Act 150 program serves as a vital resource, enabling eligible residents to receive necessary support while remaining in their homes and communities. LightSpring Home Care, based in Philadelphia, is proud to participate in this program, offering personalized services to those in need.
What is Act 150?
Act 150, officially known as the Attendant Care Services Act, is a state-funded program established in 1986. Its primary purpose is to provide non-medical assistance to adults with physical disabilities, allowing them to perform daily activities and live safely in their own homes rather than in institutional settings.
