What is LTSS?
- Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS, sometimes known as Long-Term Care) is a broad term for many health care programs available to help people who have disabilities or older adults with their daily activities.
- LTSS includes Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) and several other programs which have different requirements to qualify. If you don't qualify for HCBS or it does not fit your needs, you can explore other LTSS programs.
- A Case Management Agency (CMA) in your area can help you identify programs that meet your needs. They might also refer you to a Regional Accountable Entity (RAE) (a regional organization that supports existing Health First Colorado members) to connect you with community programs in your area.

What is HCBS?
Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers are one of Health First Colorado’s (Medicaid) LTSS programs.
- HCBS helps older adults and individuals with disabilities live independently by providing services in their home and community instead of in a nursing home or medical facility.
- Examples of HCBS services include:
- Help keeping your home safe and clean
- Assistance with bathing and dressing
- Transportation for non-medical activities
- Help for caregivers
- Food preparation
