ALTCS is Arizona's Medicaid program for long-term care. Qualifying can save a family hundreds of thousands of dollars in nursing home costs. We help you navigate the complex eligibility rules.
The Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS) is a Medicaid program that pays for nursing home care, assisted living, and in-home care for individuals who meet medical and financial eligibility requirements. Without ALTCS, families face the full cost of long-term care out of pocket, an expense that can consume a lifetime of savings in just a few years.
Qualifying for ALTCS requires careful financial planning. There are strict income and asset limits, and the state reviews years of financial history before approving an application. Improper transfers can result in a penalty period during which ALTCS will not pay for care.
At RJP, we help families understand the eligibility rules, structure their finances to qualify, and avoid common mistakes that can delay or prevent approval.
Without ALTCS planning, a single nursing home stay can consume a lifetime of savings in a matter of years. Careful planning before a crisis preserves your options and protects your spouse.
If you or a loved one may need long-term care, start this conversation as early as possible.
Anyone over 65 should understand ALTCS eligibility rules as part of their estate plan.
The healthy spouse needs to protect their own assets while ensuring the ill spouse qualifies for care.
Families need to plan before a crisis. Starting early preserves more options.
ALTCS can be combined with VA benefits for additional coverage and savings.
