ALTCS, or the Arizona Long-Term Care System, is a state-run Medicaid program that offers long-term care services to qualified Arizona residents. This program is specifically designed to support seniors, individuals with disabilities, and those with medical needs who require continuous assistance with daily living activities. ALTCS helps ensure that eligible individuals receive the necessary care, whether at home, in an assisted living facility, or in a nursing home.

This program is designed to support individuals who require ongoing care and help with daily living activities. ALTCS primarily serves:

• Elderly adults: Seniors who need long-term care and support.

• People with disabilities: Individuals with physical or developmental disabilities that make daily activities challenging without assistance.

• Others with significant medical needs: Medically needy individuals of any age who require continuous care or supervision in their day-to-day lives.

Through ALTCS, eligible Arizona residents can receive various long-term care services. These services might include in-home care, assisted living, nursing home care, or other support that helps with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and medication management. The goal of the program is to ensure that those who need extra help due to age, disability, or chronic illness can maintain a good quality of life with the care and support they need.

Applying for the Arizona Long-Term Care System (ALTCS) involves several steps. Arizona residents must complete an application and submit details about their health, income, and assets. The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) evaluates this information to determine eligibility. As part of the process, an interview is conducted to gather further details. If approved, applicants can select a health plan that will oversee their care.

The Arizona Long-Term Care System (ALTCS) is designed to assist individuals with limited income and assets, but eligibility is not solely determined by financial factors. The program has specific income and asset limits, though certain exemptions may apply, allowing some applicants to qualify even if their financial situation varies. Eligibility is assessed on an individual basis, considering multiple criteria beyond just income.
