Self-Managed Care Responsibilities
Instead of having an AHS Case Manager manage your home care services or providers, you can self-manage these directly, with the help and support of our team. In other words, you can choose which home care providers you want to work with and evaluate our ability to support your needs.
You will need to contact your AHS Case manager with 72 hours if there are any changes to your health status, care needs, or living arrangements, such as hospitalization.
