Managed Long-Term Services and Supports, or MLTSS, is a managed care system under the Comprehensive Medicaid Waiver. This government subsidy program may help you pay for a broad array of supportive and health services, including assisted living. Some assisted living communities in New Jersey participate in and accept payment from this program to help fund a resident's living expenses.
To be eligible, applicants must:
- Be a New Jersey resident
- Be 65 and over
- Meet Medicaid's income and total liquid assets requirements
- Meet the qualifications for the assisted living level of care, meaning that they require assistance with the activities of daily living
To learn more about eligibility requirements, contact your local County Welfare Agency or your local County Area Agency on Aging.
NOTE: Not all assisted living communities in New Jersey participate in this program. It's important to check with the assisted living community you're considering to determine what forms of payment they accept, as well as any assistance programs they may offer to low-income residents.
