How people pay for independent living in Cincinnati
You can combine several private and public assistance options to help cover the cost of independent living in Cincinnati. Taking an initial assessment of your unique financial position will help you decide the best way for you to pay for your independent living accommodations, as well as any personal or medical support you may need through in-home care.
Most public assistance programs won’t cover the cost of independent living, but they may help you offset other expenses. If you have a disability, a chronic health condition, or need personal care services, you may be able to receive public assistance to help cover the cost of these services, enabling your income to go farther towards your cost of living.
Your private pay methods can include any income or assets you have. Even if you’re retired and no longer receive a paycheck, your income and assets might be sufficient to cover your independent living expenses. Depending on your resources, your income and assets might include savings accounts, Social Security benefits, pensions, investment returns, and any of the following:
If you are a veteran of the U.S. military, you may be eligible for financial assistance from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that can help you pay for Cincinnati independent living, as well as other expenses. Veterans pension benefits, such as Aid and Attendance or Housebound Allowance, are designed to provide senior veterans and their surviving spouses with supplemental income to improve their quality of life.[03]
Veteran service officers
Applying for veterans benefits can be a difficult process. Even if you are a qualifying veteran, any errors in the application process could cause you to be denied benefits. This is why successfully applying usually requires assistance or advocacy. By visiting one of the Ohio Department of Veterans Affairs field offices, you can seek assistance and referrals from your area veteran service officers. As fellow veterans trained and certified in benefits offerings, veteran services officers are there to help Ohio senior veterans get the most out of their eligibility.
Additional assistance with VA benefits
Ohio residents can visit the Ohio Department of Veterans Services webpage or contact the local VA office for assistance with finding veterans benefits. The Ohio Attorney General website offers information on additional community resources for veterans such as financial support, legal advocacy, housing assistance, and more. Kentucky also has Veterans Affairs offices for Cincinnati veterans across the Ohio-Kentucky border.
Each state has veterans service organizations overseen by the VA, which include specialized departments for aiding veterans with disabilities and veterans of foreign wars. Find information on Cincinnati veteran service organizations below.

Medicaid is a federal- and state-funded health insurance program for Americans 65+, who have a low income, or who suffer from a disability. While Medicaid programs vary by state, all Medicaid programs must follow federal guidelines. Medicaid in Ohio and Kentucky are simply called Ohio Medicaid and Kentucky Medicaid, respectively. In order to receive Medicaid benefits, you’ll need to be enrolled in a Managed Care Organization (MCO), and the agency providing the care services must be contracted with that MCO.
Medicaid programs will not cover the cost of rent in an independent living community. However, Cincinnati independent living residents in both Ohio and Kentucky may be able to receive financial support with care services through home and community based services waivers, which are offered by both states’ Medicaid programs.
Ohio PASSPORT waiver
The PASSPORT waiver is a home and community based services waiver designed to cover care for people age 60 and over who need a nursing facility level of care but choose to live in the community rather than in a skilled nursing facility. Eligible Ohio seniors can use this waiver to cover the cost of care in their own home, including an independent living apartment or other senior housing facility, instead of moving into a skilled nursing facility.
The PASSPORT waiver can cover costs of care needs such as the following:
- Personal care, such as assistance with activities of daily living, housekeeping, and meal preparation
- Nutritional guidance and meal delivery
- Adult day services
- Transport to medical appointments
- Medical equipment
PASSPORT waivers also include basic Medicaid coverage and may cover costs such as prescription medications, doctor appointments, and hospital stays.[04]
Kentucky Home and Community Based waiver
Kentucky Medicaid also offers a Home and Community Based (HCB) waiver program, which seniors in Kentucky can take advantage of. Kentucky’s HCB waiver can cover the costs of services such as the following:
- Adult day support
- Personal care, such as assistance with activities of daily living
- Simple home modifications
- Meal services
- Respite care
Similarly to Ohio’s waivers, Kentucky Medicaid HCB waivers have specific eligibility requirements. In order to qualify, Kentucky residents must be age 65 or older or have a qualifying disability. They must also meet general Medicaid eligibility requirements, and they must need a nursing facility level of care.[05]
Where to find additional help in Ohio
The Ohio Department of Aging has several Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) where Ohio residents can receive additional support with Medicare, Medicaid, and other support programs. Ohio Medicaid recipients can manage their care through the Ohio Medicaid Consumer Hotline Member Portal. A long-term care ombudsman can offer advice and provide advocacy on your rights as a resident in senior living.
Where to find additional help in Kentucky
Kentucky residents can use the Kynect website to find out more about Medicaid benefits eligibility and access their benefits. Kentucky seniors also have their own Area Agencies on Aging, ombudsman advocacy, and more.

Medicare is a federally funded program designed to extend health coverage to Americans age 65 or older and individuals with qualifying disabilities. Since Medicare is a federal program, eligibility requirements will be the same in both Ohio and Kentucky. Medicare has multiple segments that cover different health care needs such as the following:
- Inpatient hospital stays or skilled nursing care
- Doctors’ services, medical services, and medical supplies
- Prescription medications
As a form of health insurance, Medicare won’t cover the cost of rent in an independent living community. Medicare can, however, be used to cover medically necessary in-home care and care for short-term medical conditions. You can find more information on Medicare costs and coverage by visiting the federal Medicare website or by contacting one of your local Social Security Administration offices. Qualified seniors may receive help paying for Medicare deductibles and premiums through Medicare Savings Programs.
If you are eligible for Medicare, the Social Security Administration can help you receive access to benefits. If you’re able to dual enroll in both Medicare and Medicaid, you can pay Medicare premiums using Medicaid benefits. A local long-term care ombudsman can help you access the benefits you’re eligible for. An ombudsman can also investigate complaints of long-term care residents, advocate for your rights, and help ensure that you receive the quality of care you deserve.

Understand Ohio laws and regulations for independent living communities
Independent living communities in Cincinnati generally have an age minimum of 55, 62, or 65, though the exact age requirement depends on the community. Age minimums generally don’t apply to every tenant; rather, one person in each independent living household must meet the age requirement.
Independent living communities are subject to the same regulations as any other Ohio apartment. Tenants and landlords each have their own rights and responsibilities. Independent living communities may also include assisted living on the same campus. Independent living communities with on-site assisted living or memory care may be subject to tighter regulations, particularly in the units where medical care services are provided. To learn more about the assisted living or memory care unit regulations of your potential community, visit our guide to Cincinnati assisted living.
Apartment regulations in Ohio and Kentucky
Ohio and Kentucky apartment landlords are required to maintain basic maintenance, safety, and cleanliness standards for their tenants. Both states require apartment landlords to do the following:[06,07]
- Ensure that all facilities — such as electrical, plumbing, sanitation, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and elevators — are in good and safe working order
- Organize waste removal services
- Supply running water and heat
- Make necessary repairs to keep the building safe and usable
- Uphold building codes standards for health and safety purposes
- Keep communal areas clean, sanitary, and safe for use
Both Ohio and Kentucky apartment regulations require tenants to do the following:[08,09]
- Avoid disturbing other residents with excessive noise
- Keep the premises clean and safe
- Practice appropriate use of plumbing and electrical equipment
- Practice proper waste disposal
- Cooperate with state and municipal drug laws on the premises
- Cooperate with housing health and safety codes
ADA compliance
Independent living communities must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by making reasonable accommodations and modifications for individuals with disabilities. Federal law prohibits owners of housing facilities from denying residency to individuals who have disabilities. Since ADA compliance is enforced on the federal level, Kentucky and Ohio have the same standards to uphold.
What are reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities?
Reasonable accommodations mean adjusting rules or policies so that residents with disabilities can access the same amenities offered to other tenants. Accommodations may include provisions such as the following:
- Convenient parking
- Equal access to the complex’s shared spaces or activities for individuals with disabilities
- Adjustment of rent payment due date to correspond with tenant’s disability payments
What are modifications for individuals with disabilities?
Modifications typically entail construction changes to the apartment complex and unit in order to make the space more navigable for tenants with disabilities. Modifications could mean installing handrails in bathrooms, a hands-free entrance, or a wheelchair ramp. The costs of these modifications are the responsibility of the property owner, rather than of the tenant with the disability, provided that they do not impose an undue financial burden upon the landlord.[10]
Regulations for Cincinnati senior care communities
Cincinnati area senior living facilities that offer independent living as well as other care types may have stricter regulations in both Ohio and Kentucky. These regulations include direct care staff requirements, minimum staff-to-resident ratios, and service offerings such as the following:[11,12]
- Medication administration assistance
- Assistance with activities of daily living
- Recreation and social activities
Ohio assisted living services also must include the following:[11]
- Housekeeping and laundry services
- Either three meals per day or a food safe storage so residents can take care of their own food
In Kentucky, however, housekeeping and laundry services are not required, though residents must have access to facilities to take care of their own laundry.[13] Three meals per day and snacks are required.[12]
Ohio assisted living facilities, or residential care facilities as they are designated in that state, must be licensed by the Ohio Department of Health (ODH). The ODH performs facility inspections before licensing the facility and then a minimum of every 15 months after licensure.
Kentucky assisted living facilities must be certified annually through the Kentucky Department for Aging and Independent Living to ensure they uphold regulatory standards.[14]

COVID-19 regulations for Cincinnati independent living communities
As most COVID-19 restrictions in both Ohio and Kentucky have been lifted, there are no specific COVID-19 regulations required for Cincinnati independent living communities at this time.
However, Ohio independent living communities that include assisted living are recommended to implement precautionary measures in accordance with CDC guidelines. Kentucky similarly follows CDC guidelines, particularly COVID-19 by county recommendations, updating guidelines based on the number of COVID-19 cases in each individual county.
Individual communities may have their own rules in place, so make sure to call prospective communities ahead of time to learn about their specific guidelines. The general guidelines include the following:
Testing. Staff and residents should be tested for COVID-19 if they are experiencing symptoms or if they have come into contact with someone who has tested positive.
Masking. Masks should be worn by individuals who are immunocompromised, by individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19, and by health care workers with COVID-positive patients.
Quarantining. Patients who have tested positive for COVID-19 should be placed in isolation or in rooms with other patients infected with COVID-19.

Go Metro’s buses are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, so even Ohio residents who have disabilities or require a wheelchair or service animal can ride.
