Get paid to take care of a family member in Arizona with ALTCS and Crystal Home Care AZ   

Family caregivers in Arizona can get paid to care for a loved one under the Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS). Crystal Home Care AZ is an Arizona home care agency that helps caregivers get paid to take care of family members under ALTCS.

What is ALTCS?

ALTCS is a Medicaid program under the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) – Arizona’s Medicaid agency which offers health care programs to serve Arizona residents. ALTCS covers the cost of many critical services that help Arizona’s elderly and disabled, including home care.

The Role of the Family Caregiver

Family caregivers can get paid as Direct Care Workers (DCW) to take care of their loved ones. Direct Care Workers help home care consumers by assisting them with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, eating, and ambulating.

Training

All Direct Care Workers must undergo some training. However, family caregivers are not required to undergo as much training as Direct Care Workers caring for consumers that are not family members.
