- Abstract:
- California’s assisted living and adult residential care communities are beginning to partner with MediCal managed care plans as part of implementing CalAIM (California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal), which started in January 2022. Although CalAIM seeks to benefit all Medi-Cal enrollees, this brief focuses on its provisions for older adults, explaining how it aims to increase access and to improve the delivery of long-term services and supports. Under CalAIM, assisted living and adult residential care operators can tap into the Enhanced Care Management (ECM) benefits and optional Community Supports services through contracts with managed care plans (MCPs). This creates new opportunities outside of the existing Assisted Living Waiver to expand access to assisted living and adult residential communities and to enhance the quality of life for Medi-Cal enrollees.
