Intake & Enrollment
There are 10 Colorado long-term care waivers and 3 additional state-funded programs. Currently, 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 benefits are designed to help individuals remain in their home-setting of choice in their community of choice. Waivers have extra program rules and some programs may have waitlists.
​
To get started, you will need to complete an application and complete the determination process. From there, we will guide you through specific steps to enroll in your chosen program.
