PASSPORT Program helps eligible older adults live in their own homes with independence and dignity.

The PASSPORT program helps Medicaid-eligible older Ohioans with alternatives to placement in nursing homes. As one of WRAAA’s flagship services, it strives to ensure the opportunity for independent living is available to every qualified older adult.

• Home Delivered Meals
