Ohio Home Care

For Individuals on Medicaid needing long-term care

SCROLL

Please be advised that the Ohio Department of Medicaid has put a temporary pause on processing referrals to the OHCW and SRS programs. This pause or hold on referrals is expected to remain in effect until on or about July 2, 2025. Referrals can still be made but will not be processed until this pause is lifted.

Ohio Home Care

The Ohio Home Care waiver program serves individuals age 59 and under, on Medicaid with long-term care needs that, in the absence of home-care based services, would need to depend on a hospital or nursing facility.

This Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM)-administered waiver program provides eligible individuals in need of long-term care facility services with a cost-effective home- and community-based alternative that recognizes the need for autonomy and independence. The waiver program supports the individual’s right to choose to live in the community with supports and safeguards needed to ensure their health and welfare.
