No family turned away because of
how care is funded.
Many home care organizations treat Medicaid families as a secondary priority. At Genao, there is no such distinction. This is not a policy statement. It is the reason this organization was built.
Understanding Medicaid
What Medicaid home care
actually means for your family.
"Medicaid is not charity. It is a benefit your family has earned and is fully entitled to — and we deliver it at the same standard we hold for everyone."
Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that provides health coverage to individuals and families with limited income. In Pennsylvania, the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) administers the Medicaid waiver programs that fund home and community-based care services — allowing individuals to receive high-quality care in their own homes rather than in institutional settings.
Pennsylvania’s Medicaid waiver programs — including the Consolidated Waiver, Community Living Waiver, and OBRA Waiver — cover a wide range of home care services for individuals with intellectual disabilities, autism, and other developmental disabilities. These programs exist specifically so that individuals can remain in their communities and live the everyday lives they are entitled to.
Medicaid home care is a right, not a favor. Eligible individuals and families have earned access to these services through the Pennsylvania system. Genao honors that entitlement without reservation.
Quality is never tiered by payment source. The caregiver who serves a Medicaid-funded client is held to the exact same training, certification, and performance standards as any other caregiver at Genao.
Genao is a fully approved ODP provider. This means we have met Pennsylvania’s rigorous standards for Medicaid waiver service provision — licensing, compliance, quality management, and accountability.
Navigation support is free. If you are unsure whether you qualify or how to access Medicaid waiver services, we will walk you through every step — at no cost and with no obligation to enroll.
If you or a family member has been told you would not receive quality care through Medicaid — or if you have worried that accepting Medicaid means accepting less — Genao exists to prove that wrong.

Does Genao Home Care accept Medicaid?
Yes — completely and without exception. Genao Home Care is a fully approved Pennsylvania ODP Medicaid waiver provider. We accept Medicaid for all of our core services, including personal care, companion care, respite care, homemaker services, and in-home support.
Will the quality of my care be different because I use Medicaid?
Never. The quality of care at Genao is determined by the individual’s needs — never by how care is funded. Medicaid clients receive the same caregivers, the same training standards, the same supervision, and the same organizational commitment as any privately paying family. There is no secondary tier here.
How do I know if I or my loved one qualifies for Medicaid home care?
Eligibility depends on income, disability status, residency, and the specific waiver program. The best way to find out is to call us at (717) 000-0000 or complete the eligibility form on this page. A member of our team will review your situation and explain your options clearly — at no cost and with no obligation.
What is the ODP Medicaid waiver program in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania’s Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) administers several Medicaid waiver programs — including the Consolidated Waiver, Community Living Waiver, and OBRA Waiver — that fund home and community-based services for individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism. These programs allow individuals to receive care in their own homes rather than in institutional settings, preserving their independence and community participation.
What if I already have a Support Coordinator?
We work directly with your existing Support Coordinator. Genao Home Care collaborates fully with Support Coordination agencies to ensure our services align with your Individual Support Plan (ISP), waiver requirements, and authorization levels. Your Support Coordinator remains a central part of your care team.
How long does it take to start receiving care through Medicaid?
Timeline varies depending on your current enrollment status. If you are already Medicaid-enrolled with an active waiver authorization, most families begin care within 5—10 business days of our initial consultation. If you need to complete the Medicaid enrollment process first, we will help you navigate that and begin planning your care in parallel.
Can I use both Medicaid and private pay for different services?
Yes — many families use Medicaid waiver funding for some services and supplement with private pay for additional hours or services not covered by their authorization. We will help you understand exactly what your authorization covers and what options exist for supplemental services if your needs exceed waiver funding.
What counties do you serve with Medicaid care?
We currently provide Medicaid home care services in Lancaster, York, Lebanon, Adams (Gettysburg), Berks (Reading), Philadelphia, and Lehigh (Allentown) counties in Pennsylvania. If you are near our service boundaries, call us — we will always do our best to find a solution for your family.
