What does in-home care cost in Dayton?
No Dayton figure is published; CareScout's 2025 Ohio median for a non-medical caregiver is $34 an hour, while Medicare-covered home health visits cost an eligible patient nothing.
PASSPORT can pay for personal care at home for Medicaid-eligible adults who need a nursing home level of care; the Area Agency on Aging, PSA 2 (1-800-258-7277) does the assessment.
How do we choose a Dayton home health agency?
Ask whether the agency is Medicare-certified for the services ordered, how soon it can start after discharge, how often the nurse and therapists will come, and who answers the phone after hours; the physician's order defines what Medicare covers.
Every licensed agency appears on the skilled home health and hospice roster with its ODH license and the year it was first licensed. An agency that already works with your parent's doctors can make the first weeks after discharge smoother.
