PA Options Program

What is the Options Program?

Pennsylvania's Options Program provides seniors with home care services at a reduced price or no charge at all. It also offers their loved ones assistance like adult day care and respite care to help balance daily life. The program is long-term, but service hours are supplemental and usually limited to less than 10 hours a week. Each county has their own Area Agency on Aging (AAA) that determines program limits.
