For families in Waynesburg
For families in Waynesburg, North Central West Virginia & Southwestern Pennsylvania: use the resources and practical steps in this guide to plan wanted nonmedical help. Confirm individual requirements and current availability with the responsible provider.
A permanent move from West Virginia into a Waynesburg home requires a new receiving-state support discussion. Existing WV ADW visits and eligibility should not be treated as a transferable package of Pennsylvania services.
Coordinate the sending and receiving routes
With the adult's permission, give the assigned WV ADW and eligibility teams the actual permanent-move plan. Ask them to explain reporting and service-ending responsibilities under the current ADW policy. Do not choose dates or terminate assistance based on a general web summary.
For Pennsylvania, use the long-term-care services route and Independent Enrollment Broker information to ask about the new assessment and enrollment process. The county assistance office directory identifies the eligibility-office route. Each responsible team must determine its own part; a mailing address change does not establish financial or clinical eligibility.
Build the receiving home's actual routine
Describe the daily assistance needed at the Waynesburg address and ask how the required in-person assessment and receiving plan are arranged. Keep application, eligibility decision, program enrollment and provider staffing separate.
Discuss with the adult and willing household members what support is genuinely available while decisions are pending. A relative's invitation to move does not establish their ability to perform every task. Any private care also requires confirmation of the address, scope, schedule and terms.
Before committing to the move's timing, identify unresolved assistance and bring it to the responsible teams. A successful interstate transition depends on actual receiving services and willing help, not an assumption that West Virginia's attendant roster will continue across the border.
Discuss ordinary help at home
For separately arranged nonmedical assistance, our Waynesburg care team can discuss the person's requested tasks and timing. Contact the local care team to ask about the actual scope, schedule and available staffing.
