How do I apply for the PASSPORT waiver in Ohio?
To apply for the PASSPORT waiver, you’ll start with a pre-admission screening through your local Area Agency on Aging. If your loved one appears eligible, a case manager will visit to assess their needs and create a care plan. FreedomCare can walk you through each step and help with the paperwork so you can get approved and start receiving caregiver pay.
