What is ALTCS?
The Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS) is a Medicaid program that provides health insurance and long-term care services for individuals who require a nursing home level of care but prefer to receive services at home or in a community-based setting. ALTCS covers home care services, assisted living, and medical care for qualifying individuals.
Learn more: ALTCS Program
Am I eligible for ALTCS?
Eligibility for ALTCS is based on three main criteria:
- Medical need: The individual must require a nursing-home level of care.
- Financial eligibility: Income and assets must meet the limits set by ALTCS.
- Residency: The applicant must be an Arizona resident and a U.S. citizen or legal resident.

Who can be a paid family caregiver?
A family caregiver can be a spouse, adult child, sibling, in-law, grandparent, or other close relative of the person receiving care. Friends and neighbors can also become caregivers if chosen by the individual in need.
What does a family caregiver do?
Family caregivers provide non-medical, in-home support such as:
- Assistance with daily activities (bathing, dressing, eating)
- Household tasks (laundry, meal prep, light housekeeping)
- Mobility assistance and transfers
- Companionship and emotional support
- Medication reminders (non-administration)
What if I don’t want to be the caregiver?
If you prefer not to be the caregiver yourself, you can choose someone else, such as a trusted friend, neighbor, or relative, who will be hired and trained through the program.
Can my friend or a non-immediate family member be my caregiver?
Yes! Your parent, child, sibling, grandparent, in-law, or even a close neighbor can be a caregiver if they meet the requirements.
How long does it take to start getting paid?
Once ALTCS approves your case and you choose Devoted Guardians- we can have the caregiver complete training and onboarding then payments typically begin within a day.
Do you offer respite care?
(Respite care is available time for the caregiver to take a much-needed break while ensuring their loved one is still cared for by one of our trained agency caregivers)
Yes! Respite care can be provided by a trusted family member or an agency caregiver, depending on your preference and eligibility.
To use your respite hours, contact your ALTCS Case Manager and request the hours you’d like to use. After confirming with your case manager, reach out to our office to schedule care.
Caring for a loved one can be rewarding, but it can also be overwhelming. Respite care ensures that caregivers have time to rest and recharge, preventing burnout while maintaining quality care for their loved ones.
Do family caregivers receive benefits beyond their hourly pay?
Yes! At Devoted Guardians, we offer competitive benefits, including:
✔️ Paid training
✔️ Health insurance options
✔️ Overtime & holiday pay
✔️ Referral bonuses
✔️ Longevity incentives
✔️ Flexible scheduling
Why does it matter if you hire W-2 caregivers instead of 1099 contractors?
At Devoted Guardians, all caregivers are W-2 employees, meaning:
- We handle taxes and payroll so caregivers don’t have to.
- Caregivers are covered by workers’ compensation and liability insurance.
- We provide continuous training and support to ensure quality care.
