State Launches “Ohio Aging Compass” Resource Tool

Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Aging have announced the launch of the Ohio Aging Compass, a new online platform designed to help older Ohioans and caregivers access services and information in one place.

The tool brings together resources that have traditionally been spread across multiple systems, aiming to simplify navigation of long-term services and supports. It includes a searchable directory of more than 1,700 long-term care providers, along with educational resources, local service information, and data on Ohio’s aging population.

State officials have framed the platform as part of a broader effort to improve access to information as Ohio’s older adult population continues to grow. Individuals age 65 and older are projected to make up a quarter of the state’s population by 2040.

The Aging Compass also includes features such as connections to Golden Buckeye program discounts and a calendar of aging-related events. State officials indicated the platform may continue to evolve, with potential future enhancements such as additional navigation tools and expanded functionality.

The tool is now available through the Ohio Department of Aging’s website.
