PASSPORT is Ohio's largest home- and community-based Medicaid waiver for older adults, paying for personal care, homemaker services, adult day care, respite, home modifications and structured family caregiving for seniors who need a nursing-facility level of care but want to remain at home.
What it covers
In-home and community-based services only -- it does not pay for assisted living room and board.
Eligibility
Eligibility is based on a functional assessment (a nursing-facility level of care determination) and Medicaid's non-MAGI aged/blind/disabled financial test. Confirm current income and asset limits directly with the Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio or Ohio Department of Medicaid before assuming eligibility either way.
Who administers it locally
The Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio administers PASSPORT for Hamilton, Butler, Warren and Clermont counties.
