The Ohio Home Care Waiver (OHCW) is a home- and community- based services (HCBS) waiver operated by the Ohio Department of Medicaid (Ohio Medicaid). OHCW is designed for individuals with physical disabilities and unstable medical conditions to receive care in their homes and communities instead of nursing facilities, hospitals, or rehabilitation facilities. OHCW allows individuals to have more control of their lives, remain active participants in their communities, and make important choices about the care they receive.
