The program can seem confusing, but these are the basics of what you need to understand.

1. Don’t let the name confuse you.
   This isn’t traditional Medicaid. It’s a special program run by the Ohio Department of Medicaid to help offset the cost of senior living at accredited facilities.
   
   
2. Reduce the monthly rent expense.
   With the waiver program, when someone meets the eligibility requirements and is approved, they begin paying less for their monthly rent.
   
   
3. Be prepared for two year spend down.
   To qualify for the program, someone must be able to afford to pay the monthly rent on their own for at least two years.
   
   
4. Remember the five year look back.
   The Ohio Department of Medicaid looks at the financial records for the last five years to make sure money was spent down in an appropriate way.
   
   
5. Enjoy living life to the fullest!
   Life should be about living – not worrying about how to pay for senior living.
