Parents as Paid Caregivers Service Delivery Model
Report
Despite continued cost increases for the Arizona Long Term Care Services program, which includes the Parents as Paid Caregivers service delivery model, the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System and the Arizona Department of Economic Security have not fully implemented all cost-control requirements of Laws 2025, Chapter 93, such as not implementing a new standardized assessment tool by October 1, 2025, and not initiating action to enforce the 40-hour limit on parent provided care until April 2026.
