Ohio now offers another long-term care
option for adults with Medicaid. The
Assisted Living Waiver Program pays the
costs of care in an Assisted Living
facility. The consumer is responsible
for "room and board" expenses.
The program is open to individuals
currently residing in a nursing home or
enrolled on another home and
community-based waiver program (such as
PASSPORT, Choices, or the Ohio Home Care
waiver). Participants must be financially
eligible for Medicaid and determined by
COAAA to need a "nursing facility level
of care," the same requirements as for
our PASSPORT program.

Living Waiver providers in your area,

Eligible consumers can select from
any participating licensed assisted
living provider.
It's another way to provide senior housing options that are alternatives to nursing home care. Those interested in participating in the
waiver may call COAAA at 614-645-7250 or
1-800-589-7277.
