Benefits for the Aging and for Long Term Care
Here is some information about benefits, as listed in this catalog from the NM Aging & Long-term Services Dept.:
It includes eligibility parameters.
If anyone or their caregiver thinks services may be needed in the near future, it is best to apply as soon as possible in case there is a waiting list. The process can be daunting, but thousands have benefitted from it, and if
successful is well worth the effort. Friends, family, and community members may serve as supports while navigating the system.
1-800-432-2080 is a hotline for a case manager to help identify needs, qualifications, and procedures for applying for the different programs. There may be an extended wait time for this call.
