Wondering how to start home care services for an aging parent or loved one?
BrightPath Home Care helps families in Toledo, Lucas County, and throughout Northwest Ohio navigate programs like Medicaid PASSPORT, MyCare Ohio, and private-pay options — making compassionate in-home care simple and accessible.
Here’s everything you need to know to begin:
When Should You Consider Home Care for a Loved One?
Families often seek home care when they notice:
- Difficulty with daily activities like bathing, dressing, or eating
- Memory issues, missed medications, or confusion
- Frequent falls, unsteadiness, or safety concerns
- Withdrawal from social activities or favorite routines
Early home care support can prevent bigger health crises and help seniors maintain independence longer.

What Are the Home Care Options Available in Northwest Ohio?
Families in Toledo and surrounding areas typically have three main options:
- PASSPORT Program: A Medicaid waiver providing in-home care for seniors 60 and older.
- MyCare Ohio: A Medicaid waiver program for seniors 60 and older who require coordinated home care services.
- Private Pay: Flexible self-pay options for families not enrolled in Medicaid.
BrightPath Home Care specializes in helping families understand eligibility for these programs, complete paperwork, and start care quickly.

How Does the Home Care Enrollment Process Work?
Starting home care usually follows a simple path:
- Initial Consultation: Contact BrightPath Home Care to discuss your needs.
- Eligibility Review: We help check Medicaid PASSPORT, MyCare Ohio, or private-pay options.
- In-Home Assessment: A care manager or intake coordinator meets your loved one at home.
- Care Plan Development: Together, we create a personalized plan focused on safety, independence, and well-being.
- Caregiver Match: We assign a compassionate caregiver — or help train and onboard a family member if using the self-directed model.
Our goal is to make starting home care simple, fast, and personalized.
Can Family Members Become Paid Caregivers?
Yes!
Through the Medicaid self-directed care model, eligible family members or trusted friends can become paid caregivers for their loved ones.
BrightPath Home Care handles training, onboarding, and payroll — so you can focus on providing care while we manage the paperwork.
