Programs through the Dept of Aging sometimes have a waiting list because the program has reached its funding allotment to allow more people into the program. If a person is on the waiting list it means that they were assessed and given a score based on the amount of care they need. People are put on the waiting list according to their score. An individual’s spot on the waiting list can vary from day to day as we continue to assess additional people for services.

 

 

According for the Courts website: "Pennsylvania law does not exclude persons due to their age. However, Chester County is liberal with excusing senior citizens upon written request for good reason."
