Manifest Staff Medical

5900 Roche Dr #443, Columbus, OH 43229
Overview of Manifest Staff Medical

Manifest Staff Medical operates a home care staffing service from an office in the Northland neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. This agency functions as a placement coordinator rather than a traditional senior residential campus, matching families with independent care professionals who deliver support inside a client’s private house or an existing facility.

The surrounding neighborhood carries a walkability score of 66 out of 100, which means visiting relatives or staff can complete a few tasks on foot, though most errands require driving. To establish a baseline of safety and suitability, the firm requires all candidates to clear a background screening process before they are matched with a household.

The agency’s registry includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, nursing assistants, and personal care assistants who can handle medical tracking, personal care routines, or basic housekeeping chores depending on the client’s needs.

Interested individuals can initiate the caregiver screening process by contacting the Columbus office to outline their specific nursing or personal care needs.

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Ohio?

Assisted living in Ohio supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence.

Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Ohio Medicaid cover assisted living?

Ohio Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Ohio) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
