Health saving accounts
Long-term care insurance

Medicaid

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps eligible individuals pay for certain long-term and health care services. In Arizona, Medicaid is called the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS). While AHCCCS does not typically cover room and board in memory care communities, it may help pay for health and personal care services through:{{citations:4,5,6}}

Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS)
Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) through ALTCS
Aged, Blind, and Disabled (ABD) Medicaid program

ALTCS provides coverage for eligible seniors who need a nursing home level of care, whether they receive services at home, in assisted living, or in a memory care setting. Unlike some waiver programs in other states, ALTCS is an entitlement program, meaning eligible individuals are not placed on a waitlist.

Services typically covered include:

Home health services
Physical, occupational, or speech therapy
Meal assistance
Support with activities of daily living (ADLs)
Housekeeping or in-home support services

Eligibility for AHCCCS and ALTCS is based on income, assets, and medical need, including an assessment to confirm the level of care required.
