ALTCS in Sierra Vista
Searching for senior care in Sierra Vista and other areas of south eastern Arizona can be difficult. For one thing, there are fewer providers around to choose from and it can be difficult to find the right option to meet your needs. For those looking for residential senior care, it can often be the case that all of the possible communities in your city can be full, leaving you with no other option other than starting to look in the next town over.
For seniors in Sierra Vista, the ALTCS program can be a good option if you are considering long term care, but don’t have the resources to pay for it. ALTCS is the state’s Medicaid program, designed to help limited income seniors get the care that they need.
In order to qualify for ALTCS, you must pass the functional/medical evaluation, as well as have income less than about $2000 a month. That number can be adjusted based on certain expenses, such as medication. ALTCS pay for the long term care required by seniors, whether at home or at a residential care community.
