Empowering Independence Through Agency with Choice
Arizona’s Agency with Choice program allows eligible individuals to receive care at home from a trusted caregiver, often a family member or friend, while receiving additional support through an approved agency like BURD Home Health. Funded by Arizona Medicaid (AHCCCS), the caregiver is paid for their time, with no cost to the person receiving care.
