Making family-provided care more sustainable.

Support at home for families navigating
Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Many families are already providing care at home. Through Arizona's ALTCS program under AHCCCS, eligible family members can become trained, paid caregivers for their loved ones. We help you navigate the process from eligibility through employment.

We help families understand their options and build in-home care that fits real needs, from childhood through later life.

Recognition for the Care You Already Provide

Recognition for the Care You Already Provide

Taking on the role of primary caregiver is a significant commitment. We recognize the work you're already doing by offering a path to becoming a professional employee, handling the state requirements so you can focus on your family member.

Who Qualifies Through ALTCS?

Who Qualifies Through ALTCS?

ALTCS is Arizona's Medicaid long-term care program, and it serves as the primary pathway for families seeking paid family caregiver options. Your loved one may be eligible if they are a senior requiring ongoing daily support, an adult with a physical or intellectual disability, or an individual with a chronic condition requiring long-term care at home. Eligibility is determined through AHCCCS based on medical need and financial qualifications.

If your child has a developmental disability, the pathway may look different. Visit our Little Heroes First page to learn about pediatric-specific programs, including Arizona's Licensed Health Aide (LHA) Program through the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD).
