What Is ALTCS in Arizona? | Phoenix Elder Law Attorney Eric MacDonald Explains | JacksonWhite Law

What is ALTCS and how can it help your loved one pay for long-term care in Arizona? In this video, Phoenix elder law attorney Eric MacDonald from JacksonWhite Law explains everything you need to know about the Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS), Arizona's Medicaid program designed to cover the costs of nursing home care, assisted living, and in-home care for qualifying individuals. Long-term care in Arizona is expensive. In-home care can cost $25 to $30 per hour or more, and skilled nursing facilities can run $8,500 per month or higher. For many families, these costs are simply overwhelming. ALTCS exists to help cover these expenses, but the application process is complex, and a staggering 79% of applicants are denied eligibility due to poor planning or incomplete applications. Attorney Eric MacDonald breaks down who qualifies for ALTCS, what benefits the program provides, and why early planning is critical to getting approved. He explains the medical and financial eligibility requirements, including the Pre-Admission Screen (PAS) process and income limits for both single and married applicants. Eric also discusses important tools like the Miller Trust, which can help individuals whose income exceeds the ALTCS threshold still qualify for benefits. In this video, you will learn about the key differences between Medicaid and Medicare, what ALTCS covers (including acute care services, alternative facility care, home and community-based services, and care for developmentally disabled individuals), and why working with an experienced elder law attorney gives you the best chance of approval. Eric also shares how the JacksonWhite Elder Law team helps families not only qualify for ALTCS but also protect and preserve their assets throughout the process.
