Elderly and Disability Services Division

The Elderly and Disability Services Division is responsible for the administration of the Coordination of Long-Term Services Program, the CoLTS C waiver (formerly known as the Disabled and Elderly Waiver) program, the Personal Care Option program, the Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), the Traumatic Brain Injury program, the GAP Program, and Mi Via, New Mexico's Self-directed Waiver program.

The Division also advocates for each consumer to live in the least restrictive environment, and provides education and training for consumers, case managers, and direct service providers.
