Keep in mind
You do not have to live in a nursing home. Ordinary AHCCCS enrollment does not establish approval for long-term care.
How it works
ALTCS may pay for long-term care at home or in a facility if you meet financial and care-needs rules.
- Request ALTCS
Use the long-term care application route.
- Complete both reviews
ALTCS checks finances and whether you need nursing-facility-level care.
- Read the decision
If approved, ask which care is covered.
