  • Ohio Home Care Waiver
    The Ohio Home Care Waiver allow individuals with disabilities and chronic conditions to receive care in their homes and communities rather than in long-term care facilities, hospitals, or intermediate care facilities. These waivers also allow individuals to have more control over their care and remain active in their community. Individuals must require Nursing Facility or Developmental Disability level of care and meet the financial criteria in order to enroll on an Ohio home and community-based care waiver. For this program, a developmental disability is a severe, chronic disability that is attributable to a mental or physical; impairment or combination of physical and mental impairments, other than an impairment caused solely by mental illness.
