I could see that Heritage Lane is staffed from end to end with people that did a specific thing as opposed to one staff member who is responsible for a whole gamut of things.

ALTCS (pronounced ALTECS) is an acronym for the Arizona Long Term Care System. ALTCS is a branch of Arizona’s Medicaid Program that covers long term health care and living for qualifying individuals.
The application and approval process typically takes between 60 and 90 days. The following general process is how the ALTCS application process works:
The process for determining cost under the ALTCS program is complicated and not something Heritage Lane has any influence over. It is the Arizona State Government that sets the financial criteria and requirements. The basics of this costing structure is explained below:
Resident Responsibility = Monthly Social Security (minus) approved deductions (minus) $110
$110 is kept for monthly miscellaneous spending and called “personal needs allowance”
The remainder of rent to Heritage Lane is then compensated by the program contractor (click to learn more) which is the insurance company contracted with the State of Arizona who manages the high-level care of the resident.
Many residents of Heritage Lane pay privately for residency. No special discounts or deals are created for private rates. One of the great benefits of Heritage Lane is an all-inclusive rate.
All-inclusive means there are no up-charges or scaling charges based on services provided. All private paying residents are charged the same amount for services. Care and behavioral services are rendered to everyone at any required level to maintain optimal health and life quality.
Most communities will charge for specific items or services and often do not retract these charges when there is no longer a need to provide the specific service. It is extremely difficult to manage this to a level of fairness for the person paying for services.
The fairest option is an all-inclusive rate with no hidden charges or fees. What you pay does not go up or down based on services provided and all services are disclosed up front so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Please inquire directly with the community about the current all-inclusive monthly rate.
