Who qualifies
People enrolled on PASSPORT, or on another Ohio Department of Medicaid waiver that includes this service. The person stays overnight in a nursing facility, an intermediate care facility for individuals with an intellectual disability, or another licensed setting the state approves or certifies, so the caregiver who normally gives care can rest.
The provider makes nursing and personal care available during the stay and serves three meals a day.
