For businesses and organizations aiming to expand their reach within Pennsylvania’s home care sector, inclusion in the PA Link Home Care Directory is a significant step. This directory, a resource managed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, serves as a central hub connecting individuals with licensed home care providers. By successfully applying for a listing, your organization gains visibility and affirms its commitment to providing quality, licensed care within the state. This platform can also potentially open doors to various state-level programs and resources that support home care services, although specific programs like a “Pa Car Voucher Program” are not directly mentioned in the listing process itself.
To initiate the listing process, the primary step involves submitting an account creation request through the designated online portal. This application serves as your formal request to be included in the directory and implicitly confirms that your organization operates as a licensed provider recognized by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Access the account creation form by following this link: submit an account creation request. Upon completing and submitting this form, expect to receive email notifications guiding you through the subsequent steps.
The next phase of registration depends on whether your organization already possesses a Keystone ID (B- Account #).
-
Organizations with a Keystone ID: You will receive an email containing your new PIN #. This PIN, along with your existing Keystone ID, will be your credentials for accessing your account.
-
Organizations without a Keystone ID: You will receive two emails, providing you with three essential pieces of information required for account login:
- Keystone ID
- PIN number
- Temporary Password
Note: Organizations not yet registered within Pennsylvania’s Identity Manager database may receive an additional email from the security team. This email will request supplementary information to verify your organization’s details and ensure the security of the directory.
Once you have gathered your Keystone ID, PIN number, and password, you can proceed to log in to your account. Navigate to the login page: log in to your account. Enter your Keystone ID in the “Username” field and your password in the “Password” field. Upon successful login, the main menu of the PA Link website will be displayed. Here, you will be prompted to enter your PIN number and click “Register.”
After entering your PIN, a new registration form will appear in your browser. Carefully complete all the required fields in this form and click “Register.” Upon clicking register, your organization’s information is officially submitted for review by the PA Link Home Care Directory administrators. You will receive a confirmation email acknowledging the successful submission of your registration for review. This listing in the directory can enhance your organization’s visibility to individuals seeking home care services and potentially connect you with broader resources and opportunities within the Pennsylvania home care ecosystem.
