Breaking down rhode island medicaid long-term care (ltss) in Coventry
Rhode Island Medicaid's Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) program, run by the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, is the state's main public path to help with long-term-care costs. Eligibility runs on two tracks — a clinical level-of-care assessment and a financial test — and benefits are delivered largely through Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island. It can cover care in a participating ALR, adult day services, and in-home personal care, though not room and board.
How Coventry families cover it
