Questions Cleveland families ask

Does Ohio's Medicaid expansion pay for a parent's assisted living or nursing home care?

No. Ohio's Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, effective January 1, 2014, covers adults age 19 to 64 up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level for acute and primary medical care. It's a completely separate pathway from the aged/blind/disabled Medicaid rules that govern nursing home and waiver eligibility for seniors. Long-term care coverage for seniors runs through Ohio's non-MAGI Medicaid rules, not the expansion population.

How does Ohio's Assisted Living Waiver work, and does it cover the full monthly bill?

The Assisted Living Waiver, administered by the Ohio Department of Aging through PASSPORT Administrative Agencies, pays for personal care and supportive services delivered inside a licensed Residential Care Facility for Medicaid-eligible adults 21 and older with a hands-on ADL need. It does not cover room and board; the resident pays that directly to the facility, capped at the SSI federal benefit rate minus a $50 personal needs allowance.

What is PASSPORT and how is it different from the Assisted Living Waiver?

PASSPORT is Ohio's flagship home and community-based Medicaid waiver, delivered through Area Agencies on Aging, designed to keep Medicaid-eligible seniors who need nursing-facility level of care living at home rather than in an institution. It covers personal care, home-delivered meals, adult day care, minor home modifications, medical transportation, and, as of October 2024, Structured Family Caregiving. Like the Assisted Living Waiver, it never pays for room and board, since it's strictly an in-home program.
