Long-Term Care
The Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS) is a Medicaid program in the state of Arizona that pays for long-term care services in the home or in a facility. This program is for people who cannot afford to pay for their own care, and financial and medical eligibility criteria must be met to qualify.
