Buckeye Hills serves as a forum through which local communities work cooperatively to improve our region. This spirit of coordination and service was fundamental to our establishment in 1968 and continues to guide how we work today. Our organization comprises four divisions: Aging & Health, Home Care, Community Development, and Planning.
Buckeye Hills is the lead agency for the Southeast Ohio Aging & Disability Resource Network. One call opens doors to a variety of resources and long-term services that support residents throughout Southeast Ohio. Our staff are a trusted source of information, and they provide access to a full range of available services, programs, and options to help individuals, regardless of age or disability, remain at home and in their community.
Buckeye Hills accepts referrals from families, friends, physicians, ministers, and community organizations to locate individuals who may benefit from the PASSPORT program. The PASSPORT Waiver Program is Ohio’s alternative to nursing home care. It helps disabled older adults remain safe and independent at home. PASSPORT helps these individuals remain in their homes longer and can relieve some of the stress on families and caregivers.
Buckeye Hills provides a free consultation with a care professional to assist with identifying the services an individual may qualify for and what services are available to meet their daily needs.
Buckeye Hills helps communities solve problems by identifying urgent needs and securing financial resources to improve infrastructure and the overall quality of life for residents.
Buckeye Hills helps secure investments in projects that have a positive impact on local residents and businesses by creating and retaining jobs, providing access to education or training, increasing access to water and sanitary sewer services, and maintaining and upgrading transportation infrastructure.
Buckeye Hills engages local elected officials, community leaders, and citizens to align our collective efforts as we work together to build a strong future for Southeast Ohio. Regional development requires multi-sector collaboration and consensus-building with a wide variety of groups and stakeholders.
Through our designations as an Economic Development District, an Area Agency on Aging, and a Regional Transportation Planning Organization, we are responsible for developing long-term, strategic plans for the growth and well-being of our eight-county region.
