Can I get financial help from the Pennsylvania Department of Aging (PDA) to care for my loved one at home?

Through the Pennsylvania Department of Aging's Caregiver Support Program (CSP), a caregiver can be reimbursed up to $300 per month for caregiving expenses, such as supplies, goods and services. Eligibility for CSP is based on the household income. A caregiver could also be eligible for up to $2,000 to make home modifications and purchase more expensive devices. This is a reimbursement program, meaning the caregiver must buy the items and submit receipts showing the cost, then be reimbursed through CSP funds.
