About A&I Avenues

Who We Are

A&I Avenues is the Case Management Agency (CMA) for people with disabilities living in Boulder, Broomfield, and Gilpin counties. To receive services from A&I Avenues, an individual must qualify for one or more of eleven Colorado long-term care waivers or one or more of four additional state-funded programs. 

​

A waiver is an extra set of Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid program) benefits, for which those in need of long-term services and supports may qualify for in certain cases. These waiver benefits are designed to help individuals remain in their home-setting of choice in their community of choice.

​

A&I Avenues recognizes that each person we serve is a unique individual, with their own unique set of needs, goals, and desires for their lives. Our mission is to help direct each individual in navigating the avenues that will best help them to reach their objectives.  

Our Staff

A&I Avenues staff members help create a vibrant environment full of dedicated people working to create new and innovative approaches to providing services for people with disabilities living in Boulder, Broomfield, and Gilpin counties.

​

Providing services to people with disabilities is not a static process. A&I Avenues constantly evaluates our processes, explores best practices, and searches out upcoming trends in our fields to remain at the cutting edge of services and ensures that the individuals in our programs have access to every opportunity possible.

​

And, we have fun!

Meet the Senior Leadership

Our History

A&I Avenues was established in 2024, but the history of our organization goes way back. Below is a video announcing the new organization.

In the 2010s, the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) implemented a number of initiatives designed to help make accessing long-term services and supports easier by changing case management agencies to serve all HCBS waivers so people have one place to go, making sure there is the right number of case management agencies in Colorado, and increasing the quality of case management services.

​

In response to this State mandated directive, ACMI, Inc., and Imagine! – two Case Management Agencies with a combined 90+ year legacy of serving local citizens with a variety of disabilities - joined forces to form A&I Avenues. 

​

The "A & I” in our name symbolizes the deep histories of ACMI and Imagine!, using the first letter of each, therefore connecting with the past of almost a century of service to our community, while “avenues” connects us all with a future where people with a wide variety of disabilities can each take the road that best serves their unique needs, goals, and desires.

​

Below is a timeline of our history. Please note that some of the entries include outdated language that was used in previous organization names.

1963 - Colorado House Bill #121, providing for a pilot program relating to community centers for mentally retarded and seriously handicapped person, is passed. Boulder is chosen to administer the program, and the Boulder County Interagency and Citizens Council on Mental Retardation (later to become Imagine!) is formed.
