Caring for a loved one in Ohio? FreedomCare helps you understand your options — and how to get paid for the care you provide!
In Ohio, you can choose someone you already know and trust to be your caregiver. This can include:
However, state rules do not allow legal spouses to be paid caregivers.
Yes, you may qualify if you have Medicaid, are approved for the PASSPORT Waiver, and are 60 or older. You must also live in the Cleveland area and be able to direct your own care or have someone you trust to help.
No, Ohio does not allow spouses to be paid caregivers under Medicaid programs. However, other family members — such as an adult child, sibling, or close relative — may qualify, and FreedomCare can guide you through the process so your loved one still gets care from someone they trust.
Yes, you can be a paid caregiver for your parent in Ohio if they qualify for Medicaid and the PASSPORT Waiver. FreedomCare will help you through the steps so you can care for your mom or dad at home while receiving reliable pay for the support you provide.
Yes, you must have Medicaid to qualify for caregiver pay in Ohio. Medicare by itself is not enough, but if you’re not sure about eligibility, FreedomCare can guide you through the Medicaid application process and help you find out if you qualify.
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.
