Options Program

How it works

The Options Program is a county-run aging-services program that provides home and community-based services to enable consumers to remain in their home. Services are provided on a sliding-fee scale for those who qualify.

To participate, call the agency at 724-282-3008 option 3 to discuss a referral. Individuals are then assessed by the department. If eligible, a care manager develops a plan of care that meets the needs of the individual. The department contracts with care providers to provide the services.
