ODP services, built around one person at a time.
Prestige Home Care is a qualified provider with the Pennsylvania Office of Developmental Programs, supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism to live more independently — at home and in the community.
What is the ODP program?
The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) is the part of Pennsylvania's Department of Human Services that funds home- and community-based services for people with intellectual disabilities and autism. Instead of institutional care, ODP's Medicaid waivers pay for support where life actually happens — in the person's own home, neighborhood, and community.
Our role: Prestige Home Care provides In-Home and Community Support — one-to-one assistance that follows each person's Individual Support Plan and their own goals. In ODP's words:
“…provided in home and community settings to assist individuals in acquiring, maintaining and improving the skills to live in the community, to live more independently, and to participate meaningfully in community life.”
— ODP Service Descriptions, Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (Sept 2025)
In practice that means support with daily-living skills, community participation, communication, and independence — planned with the person and their family, not for them, and delivered by our multilingual, multicultural Direct Support Professionals.
Three waivers, one front door
We serve individuals enrolled in any of ODP's three intellectual-disability/autism waivers:
Known as P/FDS — supports people living with their families or on their own, within an annual service budget.
A mid-level waiver supporting greater independence at home and in the community, also within an annual budget.
ODP's most comprehensive waiver, for people with significant support needs — including those living in residential settings.
Who qualifies?
Eligibility for ODP's waivers is determined by your county program — but in general, services are for Pennsylvanians who have:
- a diagnosis of an intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder, at any age;
- for children 8 or younger — a developmental disability;
- or, under age 22, a medically complex condition;
- plus financial eligibility for Medicaid (the county helps you establish this — many families qualify even when they assume they won't).
How to get started
Register with your county's Mental Health / Intellectual Disabilities office (the "Administrative Entity"). They handle the eligibility determination and connect you with a Supports Coordinator. Not sure who to call? Call us — we will point you to the right county office.
You choose your providers. Tell your Supports Coordinator you would like Prestige Home Care for In-Home and Community Support, and they will handle the rest with us.
Call (717) 750-1980 or request a callback. We will explain the process in plain language — in English, Nepali, Spanish, Hindi, or Arabic.
