Long Term Community Supports (LTCS) consist of a broad range of services for adults with developmental disabilities who, through the person-centered plan (PCP) process choose to access active treatment to assist them with skills to live as independently as possible in the community.
LTCS is an innovation, community-based, comprehensive service for adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD). LTCS is an alternative definition in lieu of ICF-IID under the Medicaid benefit. This service enables provides comprehensive and individualized active treatment services to adults with I/DD to maintain and promote their functional status and independence. This is also an alternative to home and community-based waiver services for individuals that potentially meet the ICF-IID level of care.
Individuals who choose LTCS instead of placement in an ICF-IID, including state institutions, or because they do not have access to an Innovations waiver slot, choose to live in their own homes or homes where they control the lease for the room in the home along with the choice of agency or other people who support them.
LTCS provides active treatment through a continuous and consistent implementation of a program of specialized and generic training, treatment, and integrated health or related services directed toward helping the consumer function with as much self-determination and independence as possible. LTCS is a comprehensive community living support benefit for eligible IDD adults with Medicaid.
