Catholic Social Services of the Miami Valley contracts with a number of providers for PASSPORT and Assisted Living services. To ensure quality service and client provider choice, these providers are continually monitored by our Quality Assurance Process.
PASSPORT and Assisted Living providers are monitored through a systematic program that measures safety and effectiveness. The PASSPORT Quality Assurance Process is based on guarantees made by the State of Ohio to obtain the PASSPORT Medicaid Waiver. These guarantees include safeguards for the client’s health and welfare and provider procurement and monitoring systems. PASSPORT rules that are used to evaluate each provider’s service quality are part of the Ohio Administrative Code.
For more information about being a PASSPORT provider, call Kathy Geise at CSSMV at (937) 498-4593 or (833) 289-0227, ext. 1122

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.
