Family Caregiver Pay Map · Ohio · Verified October 1, 2026
Ohio allows a spouse or legal representative to be the paid caregiver only when no other provider is available and the care needs are extraordinary; other relatives are commonly paid.
Who can be paid: Adult children, siblings and other relatives, including those holding power of attorney or guardianship.
The Home Care Agency is a free enrollment matching service — not a home care agency, not a Medicaid plan, and not a government agency. This research is educational. Eligibility, authorized hours and payment are always determined by the state program and, where applicable, the managed care plan.

We match Ohio families with licensed, Medicaid-approved home care agencies that serve their county. The service is free to families; we are paid a flat marketing fee by the partner agency. Eligibility is determined by the state program.
