Pennsylvania

The Pennsylvania Community HealthChoices (CHC) plan, through Direct Care Careers, supports this platform to identify Direct Care Workers for the Participant-Directed program. The platform matches the Participant as the employer to a Direct Care Worker whose skills will allow them to maintain their independence in the community.

The Direct Care Careers Registry for Pennsylvania provides a way for a Participant or their designee to find a "good to go" Direct Care Worker that can provide needed help. Direct Care Careers matches Participants and Direct Care Workers based on things that are important to the Participant, like location, availability, and skills. This makes it easier for both Participants and Direct Care Workers to connect quickly and get services started.
