Why home care matters

Care where Ohioans want it most: at home.

Nine out of ten Ohioans prefer to age at home. Home care honors that choice — and it's the fiscally responsible path for the state.

Aging at Home

Aging at home allows older adults to maintain independence while staying close to family, friends, and community supports.

Home and community-based services let people with disabilities live independently and participate fully in community life.

Home care gives families essential support so they can manage caregiving while keeping their jobs and commitments.

In rural Ohio, where institutional options are limited, home care is often the only path to care close to home.

PASSPORT home care averages $33,400 a year versus $103,997 for a nursing facility — roughly 64% savings for every person diverted.
