| Group pushing in-home care says nursing homes cost Ohio too much
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio's Medicaid costs for senior citizens' long-term care are among the most expensive in the country, and the state's reliance on costly nursing homes can't be sustained as the number of older people swells, according to a study released Monday by a group that advocates in-home care. Ohio ranks 49th in providing seniors with less-expensive, in-home care services, said the study commissioned by the Ohio Council for Home Care, a trade group that represents personal care aides and hospice workers. Only Mississippi's Medicaid program spends less on home care. The $25,000 study was conducted independently by a Columbus-based research firm that examined state budget data, along with information provided by the AARP, the U.S. Census Bureau and the Kaiser Family Foundation, a Washington-based nonprofit health group.
