Ohio Home Care Waiver Eligibility
The Ohio Home Care Waiver provides essential support for individuals who wish to receive care in their own homes rather than in a nursing facility. Eligibility typically includes:
- Medicaid recipients, typically under age 60.
- Medically fragile or disabled individuals.
- Those who would otherwise need nursing facility care.
- Able to safely remain at home with waiver support.
Navigating these requirements can feel overwhelming. Our clinical team is here to help you understand if your loved one qualifies for this specialized support.
