Planning for Incapacity or Illness
The high cost of long-term care makes pro-active planning a critically
important issue for most seniors and their families. Long-term care for
the elderly comes at a very high cost. For some families, it wipes out
their lifelong savings accounts in just a few short years. Most seniors
will require some form of long-term care, so it's critically important
that you begin planning for these needs ahead of time.

care deeply about each client and can help navigate the complex rules
and regulations that come with this type of planning. We serve clients
throughout Maricopa County looking to plan and qualify for Medicaid (ALTCS) benefits.

Long Term Care Planning with Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS)
A joint federal-Arizona state program, ALTCS provides assistance to those

regulations involving look-back periods, income caps, transfer penalties,
and waiting periods to plan around.

- Full coverage of acute care services
- Nursing home care
