What is Managed Long-Term Care (MLTC)? 

Managed Long-Term Care (MLTC) helps people who are chronically ill or have disabilities and who need health and long-term care services, such as home care or adult day care, stay in their homes and communities as long as possible. The MLTC plan arranges and pays for a large selection of health and social services, and provides choice and flexibility in obtaining needed services from one place.

  • live in the area served by the plan;

  • have or are willing to change to a doctor who is willing to work with the plan; and
