LEAP is a partner for Ohio’s HOME Choice Program.

Ohio’s HOME Choice program transitions eligible Ohioans from a long-term care facility (e.g. nursing facility, hospital, or ICF-IID)  to a home and community-based setting, where they receive services and supports at home and in their communities.

Established in 2008 with a goal of transitioning 2,000 Ohioans, the program has become a national leader in moving people back home. As of July 1, 2019, more than 13,000 people have enjoyed a new-found independence though HOME Choice.

Who is eligible to participate?

To be eligible for HOME Choice an individual must:

• Be enrolled in Medicaid
• Have resided in a long-term care facility for at least 60 consecutive days
• Be 18 years of age or older
• Have income to sustain community living
• Participate in a needs assessment and have a need for the program
• Have care needs that can be adequately met in a community setting

How do I learn more and apply?
