IDAHO

Aged & Disabled: statewide Medicaid program for Idahoans who are elderly or disabled and at risk of institutionalization (nursing home admission). Intended as a nursing home diversion program, various long-term services and supports (LTSS) are available to assist persons in continuing to live at home and in the community. These include adult day health care, skilled nursing, specialized medical equipment, personal emergency response systems, personal care assistance, and respite care. Transitional assistance for persons currently residing in nursing home facilities who wish to move back home are also available.

Aid to Aged, Blind & Disabled: provides basic healthcare coverage and long-term care services and supports to financially needy Idaho residents who are aged (age 65+), blind or disabled and live in the community. AABD Medicaid can sometimes be referred to as regular Medicaid for seniors, but it should not be confused with the regular Medicaid that is available for financially needy people of all ages. AABD Medicaid is an entitlement, which means that anyone who meets the requirements is guaranteed by law to receive the benefits without any wait.
