PASSPORT Services Help Older Adults

PASSPORT is for adults aged 60 and older who may need the level of care provided in a nursing home but hope to stay in their own homes. It is a statewide program funded by Medicaid so participants must be Medicaid-eligible. The first step is an assessment by a nurse or social worker who determines if the older adult would qualify according to level of care requirements. The local Job and Family Services then determines Medicaid eligibility and approves enrollment. Once enrolled, an individual is assigned a care manager who develops a care plan with customized services to help the individual remain safely at home. The care manager makes sure that needs are met with quality services and revises the care plan as needs change.

Major Facility Expansion Completed

CSSMV held a ribbon-cutting ceremony and celebration on Thursday, June 27, 2024, to mark the grand opening of its expanded facility at 922 West Riverview Avenue in Dayton. Construction of a 6,500 square foot addition to the existing building began in July of 2023. While discussions originally centered on ways to remodel the existing structure to better support program needs, it was determined that a significant expansion of the building’s footprint would provide the best long-term value for the agency and its constituents.
