| VA Aid and Attendance Benefits | (330) 489-4600 | The VA Aid and Attendance benefit is a monthly payment made to U.S. military veterans residing in assisted living facilities. Its purpose is to help them pay some of their costs. It’s also available to spouses of vets. Maximum payments are $1,881 for a single vet, $2,230 for a couple and $1,209 for a surviving spouse.

| Long-Term Care Ombudsman | (800) 421-7277 | The Long-Term Care Ombudsman is a state program that exists to defend the rights of seniors residing in assisted living communities. Ombudsmen visit the facilities to check on the welfare of residents, listen to their concerns and investigate their complaints. The loved ones of seniors can also register grievances. If a complaint is of a serious nature, such as alleging abuse, the ombudsman will refer it to the relevant authorities. Additionally, families searching for the best assisted living community for their loved ones can get facility-specific information from the ombudsman. |
| Medicaid | (800) 324-8680 | Medicaid in Ohio can contribute toward some of the costs of assisted living. State residents eligible for the Assisted Living Waiver Program may be able to have many of their costs paid but not room and board. To be eligible, the senior must be able to prove that they need intermediate health care services and have an annual income at or below 300% of the SSI Federal Benefit Rate. |

The senior center welcomes county residents aged 60 and over. It’s a place to socialize with neighbors and friends, participate in fun activities and share lunch with other members. Hot drinks and donuts are also served throughout the day. |
| State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) | (800) 686-1578 | SHIP is funded by the state and federal governments to help seniors who are Medicare beneficiaries get the most from their plans. Counselors provide unbiased information and support to seniors who may need more clarity about what their plan can help with and understand how supplementary plans may be useful. These may include private health care plans. However, the counselors will not try to promote one insurer over another; they exclusively represent seniors. |
