New York’s NHTD and TBI waiver programs are built to help people who might otherwise need a nursing home stay safely in their own community. Welcome Homecare can guide you through every step.
Most care options decide things for you. These waivers do the opposite. Your loved one is the primary decision maker, choosing the services they receive, the people who provide them, and the goals they want to reach.
The NHTD and TBI waivers are New York State Medicaid programs with one shared purpose: helping people who would otherwise need a nursing home build a life at home instead.
For adults 18 and older with a physical disability, and for seniors 65 and older, who are at risk of nursing home placement but want to stay in their community.
For adults between 18 and 64 living with a traumatic brain injury, who need a nursing home level of care but want to remain at home.
These programs bring together a range of services that help your loved one live safely and fully at home.
Care that helps your loved one remain at home, rather than move into a facility.
