Options for Long Term Care coordinates a spectrum of services that provides choices to people with disabling functional conditions and limited finances so they can live safely in the community.

Options for Long Term Care (OLTC) provides access to publicly funded programs, providing support to people with disabling functional conditions and limited finances. These programs are designed to help people continue to live in their own homes or in other community settings, as alternatives to nursing home care.

Applicants must apply for Health First Colorado (Medicaid) as eligibility is based on financial need as well as functional disability criteria. Applicants under the age of 65 must meet federal disability requirements.  To apply, call 970-498-7780 and request a telephone screening for services. An in-home functional assessment could follow to determine eligibility.
