Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS) are provided in home and community-based settings, as well as in assisted living facilities.
LTSS target individuals over 65, individuals with physical disabilities, individuals with intellectual disabilities, chronically ill children, and individuals eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare. Medicaid covers certain services available to these participants based on medical necessity and financial eligibility.
