FAQs
Yes, in many cases, eligible family members can become paid caregivers through Arizona Medicaid programs like ALTCS (Arizona Long Term Care System). Depending on the situation, care may be provided by a spouse, adult child, sibling, grandchild, or another trusted individual. Guardian Home Care of Arizona helps families understand eligibility requirements, navigate the process, and complete caregiver onboarding steps such as training, documentation, and background checks.
ALTCS is Arizona’s long-term care Medicaid program for individuals who need ongoing assistance due to age, disability, or certain health conditions. Qualification is based on both medical and financial eligibility. The process typically includes submitting an application, completing a financial review, and participating in an assessment to determine the level of care needed. If approved, a case manager helps coordinate services and available care options.
To apply for ALTCS, families can begin online through Health-e-Arizona Plus or by calling the Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS) directly at 1-888-621-6880. Our team can also help guide you through the process and explain what to expect. Request a callback here or call us at 602-529-5508.
Depending on eligibility and assessed needs, ALTCS may cover a variety of in-home care services, including personal care, mobility assistance, meal preparation, medication reminders, companionship, respite care, housekeeping, transportation assistance, and support with daily routines. In some cases, services may also be provided by an eligible family caregiver through the Family Care Attendant program.
The timeline depends on the type of services being requested and whether care is being funded through ALTCS or private pay. Private pay services can often begin relatively quickly after the assessment and care planning process. ALTCS services may take longer due to application reviews, assessments, case management coordination, and authorization timelines. Our team helps guide families through each step and works to make the process as smooth as possible.
