How people pay for memory care in Cincinnati

Families in Cincinnati can combine several private and public assistance options to help pay for memory care. Start by assessing your loved one’s unique financial position to determine the best way to pay for memory care.

Even if your loved one has private pay options, make sure to also apply for any aid or benefits offered to seniors in the Cincinnati area. They may qualify for assistance that will help their private pay options go further.

Private pay methods

To pay for your loved one’s Cincinnati memory care community, first consider any income your loved one receives, including Social Security benefits, savings, pensions, or investments. Other private pay options include the following:

Number of veterans who live in Cincinnati

About 74% of Cincinnati veterans are 55+.

If your senior loved one has served in the United States military, they may be eligible to receive assistance from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Veterans pensions and benefits like Aid and Attendance or Housebound Allowance can provide senior veterans and their surviving spouses with financial support to elevate their quality of life. Like any type of regular income, many VA benefits can be used however the recipient chooses, which includes covering the cost of memory care.[03]

Get help applying for veterans benefits

Applying for veterans benefits can be a frustrating task. Even if your loved one is eligible, any errors in the application could cause them to be disqualified. Applying successfully often requires assistance or advocacy. You and your senior loved one can visit an Ohio Department of Veterans Affairs field office to receive help and referrals from local veterans service officers. Veterans service officers are fellow veterans who are trained and certified in VA benefits offerings. They can help Ohio senior veterans take advantage of their eligibility.

Additional assistance with VA benefits

Visit the Ohio Department of Veterans Services webpage or contact the local VA office for assistance with accessing benefits. The Ohio Attorney General website offers information on additional community resources for veterans, including financial support, legal advocacy, housing assistance, and more.

Both Kentucky and Ohio have veterans service organizations that are overseen by the VA, including Veterans of Foreign Wars and Disabled Veterans of America offices. Find information on Cincinnati veterans service organizations and other local resources below.

Medicaid

Medicaid is federal- and state-funded medical insurance for U.S. citizens and some immigrants with disabilities or low incomes. Each state’s Medicaid program varies; however, all Medicaid programs are required to follow federal guidelines. While individual state Medicaid programs often have unique names, Medicaid in Ohio and Kentucky are simply referred to as Ohio Medicaid and Kentucky Medicaid.

In order to receive Medicaid benefits, eligible seniors must be enrolled in a managed care organization (MCO), and the agency providing the care services must be contracted with that MCO. Dementia care qualifies as a medical care service, so Cincinnati Medicaid recipients should be able to receive assistance with paying for memory care, though they will be responsible for covering the cost of room and board themselves.

Ohio Aged, Blind, or Disabled (ABD) Medicaid

Ohio Aged, Blind, or Disabled (ABD) Medicaid offers coverage for Ohio seniors and individuals with qualifying disabilities. To be eligible for ABD Medicaid, your loved one must meet Medicaid’s basic eligibility requirements and at least one of the following additional criteria:

Qualifying seniors can use ABD Medicaid to cover costs of medical care, as well as some long-term care services, including memory and dementia care.[04]

Medicaid waivers in Ohio and Kentucky

Medicaid programs will not cover the costs of room and board for memory care. However, Ohio and Kentucky seniors may be able to receive financial support with personal and medical care services, including dementia support, through Medicaid waivers, which are offered by both states’ Medicaid programs.

Ohio Assisted Living Medicaid waiver

Ohio Medicaid offers an Assisted Living Waiver Program, which is intended to provide coverage for qualified Ohio residents in an assisted living or memory care community. The Assisted Living Medicaid waiver will cover costs associated with personal care and medical care, including dementia care, though room and board will need to be paid for by your loved one’s income or other financial assets.

The Ohio Assisted Living Medicaid waiver can be used to cover two categories of services: Assisted living services and community transitional services. The following are examples of assisted living services:

  • Assistance with activities of daily living
  • 24-hour emergency response
  • Housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation
  • Nursing care
  • Recreational programs
  • Transportation
  • Daily meals

Community transitional services typically consist of moving a senior from a skilled nursing facility to an assisted living or memory care community, which includes moving their furniture and other household items.[05]

Ohio PASSPORT waivers

The Ohio PASSPORT waiver is designed to cover a nursing facility level of care for Ohio residents who choose to live in the community rather than living in a skilled nursing facility. This home and community based services (HCBS) waiver is for Ohio residents aged 60 and up. Eligible seniors can use the PASSPORT waiver to cover the cost of care in their own home, a memory care facility, or another senior care facility, rather than move into a skilled nursing facility.

The following are examples of services that may be covered by the PASSPORT waiver:

  • Personal care services like housekeeping, assistance with activities of daily living, and meal preparation
  • Nutritional support and meal delivery
  • Adult day and respite care services
  • Transportation to medical appointments
  • Medical equipment

PASSPORT waivers include basic Medicaid, which can cover other medical needs like physician visits, prescription medications, and hospital stays.[06]

Kentucky Home and Community Based waiver

Cincinnati seniors across the Kentucky state line can take advantage of Kentucky’s Home and Community Based (HCB) waiver. Kentucky’s HCB waiver can cover the costs of services such as the following:

  • Adult day and respite care services
  • Personal care services
  • Simple home modifications
  • Meal services

Like Ohio’s HCBS waivers, the Kentucky Medicaid HCB waiver has its own qualifications. To be eligible, Kentucky residents must meet regular Medicaid requirements, either be aged 65+ or have a qualifying disability, and require a nursing facility level of care.[07]

Where to get Medicaid help in Ohio

If your loved one is an Ohio Medicaid recipient, you can manage their care through the Ohio Medicaid Consumer Hotline Member Portal. The Ohio Department of Aging has several area agencies on aging (AAAs) where Ohio residents can find additional help with Medicare, Medicaid, and other services. A long-term care ombudsman can provide advice and advocacy on your loved one’s rights as a resident in senior living.

Where to get Medicaid help in Kentucky

Kentucky residents can use the Kynect website to find out more about Medicaid benefits eligibility and how to access their benefits. Residents also have their own area agencies on aging, ombudsman advocacy, and more.

Medicare

Medicare is a federally funded health insurance program for Americans 65 or older and individuals with qualifying disabilities. Because Medicare is a federal program, its rules and requirements will be the same in both Ohio and Kentucky. Medicare has multiple parts that cover different aspects of health care such as the following:

  • Skilled nursing care or hospital stays
  • Doctors’ services, medical services, and medical supplies
  • Prescription medications

Medicare doesn’t cover the cost of room and board in a memory care community, but it will cover medical care costs, including dementia care. You can find more information on Medicare costs and coverage by visiting the federal Medicare website or by reaching out to a local Ohio Social Security Administration office. Qualified seniors may get help paying for Medicare deductibles and premiums through Medicare Savings Programs.

The Social Security Administration can help your loved one receive access to any Medicare support they qualify for. Your loved one may also be able to dual enroll in Medicare and Medicaid, which will enable them to pay Medicare premiums using their Medicaid benefits.

A long-term care ombudsman can help your loved one access the benefits they qualify for and advocate for their rights. A long-term care ombudsman can also investigate complaints of seniors in long-term care and help ensure that they receive the quality of care they deserve. Find links to these resources below.

Understand Ohio laws and regulations for memory care facilities

Memory care and assisted living facilities, or residential care facilities as they are designated in Ohio, must be licensed by the Ohio Department of Health (ODH). The ODH inspects the facility prior to granting it a license and then inspects it again a minimum of every 15 months after licensure. Ohio memory care facilities have the same regulations as assisted living facilities.[08]

Kentucky memory care and assisted living facilities alike must be certified annually through the Kentucky Department for Aging and Independent Living to ensure they comply with state regulatory standards.[09]

Cincinnati memory care staff requirements

There are no minimum staff requirements for Cincinnati memory care facilities. However, facilities do have required types of personnel. Ohio’s and Kentucky’s individual staff requirements are a bit different.

Ohio memory care staff requirements

While there are no minimum staff requirements for residential care facilities in Ohio, facilities are required to employ specific types of personnel.

Ohio memory care facilities must have a psychologist or physician either on staff or contracted to oversee the care of residents with late-stage cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia.

Other staff requirements for memory care and assisted living facilities are as follows:

  • An administrator who manages the facility’s operations. The administrator is required to be present at the facility for a minimum of 20 hours per week and must also be available around the clock when they’re off-site.
  • If the facility offers personal care services, the direct care staff must have at least one staff member who is trained in first aid on the premises at all times.
  • If the facility offers medication administration, there must be either a registered nurse, a physician, or a licensed nurse practitioner certified in medication administration on staff.

Memory care staff in Ohio must all meet the following criteria:

  • They must be free from diseases that could be communicable to residents in their care.
  • They must be without alcohol or drug dependencies that impact their ability to perform their duties and risk the safety of the individuals in their care.
  • They mustn’t be younger than 16 years of age; staff who are under 18 must be supervised by a staff member who is at least 18. The facility’s administrator must be 21 or older.
  • They must undergo appropriate training for their responsibilities, as outlined in Ohio Administrative Code Rule 3701-16-06.[08]

Kentucky memory care staff requirements

Kentucky memory care and assisted living regulations are in some ways less rigid than those in Ohio. Staff requirements are also a bit more relaxed in Kentucky.[10]

  • The facility must have sufficient staff to cover each resident’s personal needs and care plans for 24 hours per day.
  • There must be a minimum of one awake staff member on the premises at all times.
  • Each facility is required to have a manager who is age 21 or over and who has achieved the equivalent of a high school level of education. The manager must be able to maintain the facility’s day-to-day operations.

Cincinnati memory care service requirements

Both Kentucky and Ohio memory care facilities are required to provide residents with the same baseline services as are required in assisted living, including the following:[08,11]

  • Medication administration
  • Help with activities of daily living
  • Social engagement and recreational activities

Ohio memory care and assisted living services also must include the following:[08]

  • Housekeeping and laundry services
  • A minimum of three daily meals or food-safe storage, so residents can take care of their own meal

In Kentucky, however, housekeeping and laundry services are not required, though residents must have access to facilities to take care of their own laundry.[12] Three meals per day and snacks are required in Kentucky memory care and assisted living facilities.[11]

Kentucky requires memory care communities to provide residents with specialized services which include the following:[13]

  • Resident evaluation to facilitate a person-centered care plan that includes their individual interests and needs
  • Activities that support cognitive function
  • Enclosed walking spaces

Cincinnati memory care building standards

Ohio and Kentucky memory care facilities must abide by health- and safety-related building code standards. Each facility must be approved by the local certified building department.[08,12]

You can use the Health Care Provider Search tool to view details on a memory care or other long-term care facility in Ohio. Search for a specific facility by choosing the care provider category from the drop-down menu. Narrow your search by entering the county, city, organization’s name, or any information you have for the corresponding fields. Note that while Ohio does show whether a care community’s license is active, it does not reveal the full inspection report.

To find details on memory care and other senior care facilities in Kentucky, use the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services Nursing Home Survey Inspection Findings Search tool. Follow the link for the relevant year, and then enter the facility’s name and relevant details into the corresponding search fields. Note that while Kentucky’s search tool shows some complaints or other inspection results for some care facility types, it does not reveal specific inspection findings of memory care facilities.

COVID-19 regulations for Cincinnati memory care facilities

In both Ohio and Kentucky, most COVID-19 restrictions have been relaxed. However, Ohio long-term care facilities, such as memory care, are encouraged to implement precautionary practices in alignment with CDC guidelines. Kentucky similarly abides by CDC guidelines, such as COVID-19 by county recommendations, updating guidelines as needed based on each county’s number of COVID-19 cases.

General guidelines for Cincinnati memory care communities include the following:

An illustration of a list with a check mark

Testing. Memory care staff and residents should be tested for COVID-19 if they’re experiencing symptoms or if they’ve had contact with someone who has tested positive.

An illustration of a protective breathing mask

Masking. Masks should be worn by those who are immunocompromised, those who have tested positive for COVID-19, and health care workers caring for patients with COVID-19.

What to expect from memory care in Cincinnati

Cincinnati memory care communities offer cozy environments with personalized programs to make each resident feel as at home as possible. Memory care staff make an effort to know each resident personally and foster a holistic relationship. By knowing each resident’s preferences, interests, and idiosyncrasies, care staff do their best to cultivate quality care and engagement.

Cincinnati memory care communities provide the same leisure and care services of assisted living, as well as additional offerings to meet the unique needs of seniors with memory loss. Such offerings include the following:

  • Wander prevention systems
  • Recreational programs to support cognitive function
  • Indoor and/or enclosed outdoor walking spaces

Multiple tiers of care on one campus

Out of our partnered Cincinnati communities offering memory care, 78% contain some combination of memory care, assisted living, and independent living, all within one community. Multiple care types together offer more variety among residents, often providing more opportunity for friendships and social engagement, regardless of an individual’s specific level of need.

Communities that integrate multiple levels of care enable residents to conveniently transition to a support level that fits them if their needs change, making it ideal for aging in place. Assisted living can often cost less per month than memory care, so multitiered communities also enable individuals in the earlier stages of dementia to start in assisted living and then transfer to memory care when they need to, allowing their financial resources to last longer.

Holistic care and support services

Most Cincinnati memory care communities offer private apartments with access to the following care and support services:

  • Round-the-clock care staff

Transportation for seniors in Cincinnati

Out of A Place for Mom’s memory care partners in Cincinnati, 83% offer complimentary and/or at-cost transportation services. While prescheduled transportation may be free, on-demand rides often have an additional cost, though it depends upon the individual community’s policies.

Most downtown Cincinnati errands can be accomplished without a car, as the area is quite walkable. If your loved one and their caregiver venture out from the city center, however, they may want to rely on a vehicle or public transit. For enjoying downtown entertainment, they might enjoy the free Cincinnati streetcar which loops through the heart of the city.

Cincinnati’s public transportation system is called Go Metro. Go Metro covers several bus routes, and passengers can explore routes in the Cincinnati area or search by popular destinations. Go Metro’s buses comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, so Ohio residents who have disabilities can ride, even with a wheelchair or a service animal. If a person’s disability makes buses inaccessible even with these accommodations, they can instead use Cincinnati’s Access rideshare program, which offers vans designed specifically for passengers with special needs.
