Ohio’s 12 Area Agencies on Aging
Ohio is divided into 12 Planning and Service Areas (PSAs). These agencies are the primary administrators for the PASSPORT Medicaid waiver program, which helps seniors stay in their homes rather than moving to a nursing facility. For statewide information, contact the Ohio Department of Aging at 1-800-266-4346 or visit aging.ohio.gov (opens in new window).
