Home Care in Levittown, Bensalem, and Lower Bucks County

Lower Bucks County — Levittown, Bensalem, Bristol, Croydon, Langhorne — sits along the Route 1 corridor between Philadelphia and Trenton, with a working-class and middle-class population that includes a growing senior demographic. Many families here are providing daily care for aging parents without knowing that Medicaid programs can fund that care and even pay a family member to provide it.

What We See in Lower Bucks

In our experience at CareChoice, Lower Bucks families share a pattern with South Philadelphia and Northeast Philadelphia families: multigenerational proximity, strong family caregiving instincts, and low awareness of Participant-Directed Services. The daughter in Levittown who drives to her mother’s Bensalem apartment every morning to help her bathe and dress — she could be earning $13.50–$18.00/hour for that work through Medicaid.

Lower Bucks also has a significant veteran population.  VA home care programs serve eligible veterans at no cost and can be combined with Medicaid for comprehensive coverage.
