First Choice in Home Care
First Choice in Home Care is a homecare agency serving Bedford, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas. Homecare agencies provide non-medical personal care services that allow individuals to remain safely in their homes while receiving assistance with daily activities.
Services provided by homecare agencies typically include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers.
In Pennsylvania, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and generally must maintain a Home Care Agency License or Home Care Registry License. Pennsylvania requires licensure for Home Care Agencies and Home Care Registries.
Payment Options: In Pennsylvania, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like Community HealthChoices. These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting. Contact Pennsylvania Department of Human Services or visit https://www.dhs.pa.gov/Services/Assistance/Pages/Medicaid-LTSS.aspx to learn about eligibility and how to apply.
When selecting a homecare agency, consider factors such as caregiver screening procedures, training requirements, supervision practices, and the agency's responsiveness to client needs and concerns. Visit Pennsylvania Department of Health for more information about homecare services in Pennsylvania.
Licensing requirements and regulations may change. We recommend verifying current requirements directly with your state's licensing agency.

I had an extremely positive experience with First Choice in Home Care. I was given their information from the Area Agency on Aging. They were able to schedule the assessment and move forward with services in a very short time frame. In addition, they were especially kind and informative while helping me navigate the whole experience to assist my elderly father be able to remain living independently. I would highly recommend this company. I am very appreciative of not just their services, but also their empathy and compassion they showed me and my family.
I received outstanding service from Karen Everhart and her excellent staff at First choice for my Uncle--- both in his home and in Donahue and Colonial Courtyard.. The staff are well trained, professional and performed in an outstanding manner for 4 years in the care of my Uncle who had dementia. I continued to utilize staff from First Choice after my Uncle moved to Donahue and Colonial Court.... The communication between this agency and myself was first rate-- I would rank First Choice at an A++ level.. Dr. Tom Otis
