Intake & Enrollment
There are 10 Colorado long-term care waivers and three additional state-funded programs. A&I Avenues also offers a three-year program for individuals diagnosed with Autism in Boulder and Broomfield Counties. A waiver is an extra set of Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid program) benefits for people who are determined to need long-term services and support beyond what is available through regular Medicaid. These benefits are designed to help individuals remain in their home-setting of choice in their community of choice.
​
Every long-term care waiver and state-funded program has its own targeting criteria and enrollment process. To get started, you must contact our intake department to discuss your needs and determine which program may be the right fit for you or your loved one. Please keep in mind that enrollment in a waiver or state program does not guarantee the availability of service providers, and some programs have waitlists. You always have the right to apply for a waiver or program even if you do not meet the targeting criteria for that program. In many cases, you will be given the opportunity to appeal the non-favorable decision.

Many programs require the individual to take part in at least one service each month and maintain regular communication with their case manager. If these requirements are not met, the individual may be removed from their waiver or program as per the Colorado Code of Regulations.
