We understand the importance of family, tradition, and respect for elders. Our caregivers and staff work closely with clients, families, and case managers to ensure quality care and communication.

Our caregivers assist clients with daily living activities, including:

✔ Personal care (bathing, grooming, dressing)

Services are based on the client’s approved AHCCCS care plan.

If you or a loved one may need in-home care services, the first step is applying for the AHCCCS Long-Term Care (LTC) program.

Step 1 – Contact AHCCCS or ALTCS

You may begin the process by contacting:

• AHCCCS / ALTCS

• Your local tribal or healthcare office

• Your current healthcare provider

• A hospital discharge planner or case manager

They will help start the eligibility process.

Step 2 – Complete an Assessment

AHCCCS will schedule an evaluation to determine whether the individual qualifies for Long-Term Care services.

This may include:

• Medical review

• Functional assessment

• Home situation review

• Financial eligibility review

Step 3 – Choose Your In-Home Care Agency

Once approved, clients have the right to choose their own in-home care provider.

If you want Gishey’s Patient Care LLC, tell your case manager directly:

“I choose Gishey’s Patient Care LLC as my provider.”

Step 4 – If You Do Not Choose an Agency

If no agency is selected, the case manager may assign one based on availability.

We encourage clients and families to actively choose a provider that best fits their needs. You always have the right to request our agency or transfer services to us later.
