Eligibility

Could you or your loved one qualify for in-home care?

Paying for in-home personal care can feel confusing, but you do not have to work through the process alone. Allheart Senior Care accepts several payment sources and programs, and our patient advocates can help you understand which option may fit your situation.

A patient advocate can help you

  • Understand which program may fit your situation
  • Learn what an assessment involves
  • Take the next step toward an application

Speaking with an advocate does not obligate you to anything, and it does not guarantee approval.

ARChoices

What is ARChoices in Homecare?

ARChoices in Homecare is an Arkansas Medicaid program that can provide home- and community-based services as an alternative to institutional care. It is designed for eligible adults who need help with everyday activities and want to remain in their homes or communities.

You may want to ask about ARChoices if the following statements describe you or your loved one:

Questions

Eligibility questions

A patient advocate can walk you through anything that is unclear.

Medicare generally does not pay for ongoing custodial personal care by itself. Other programs, benefits, private-pay arrangements, or long-term care insurance may apply. Allheart should verify the person's exact coverage before services begin.

No. A patient advocate can start with your needs, age, location, and current coverage, then help you understand which application or benefit may be appropriate.

Final eligibility, authorization, and covered-service decisions are made by the applicable state agency, health plan, Veterans Affairs program, or insurance carrier — not by Allheart Senior Care.
