What Are the NHTD and TBI Waiver Programs (1)

What Are the NHTD and TBI Waiver Programs?

The NHTD and TBI Waiver Programs are New York State Medicaid programs that provide home and community-based services as an alternative to nursing facility care.

The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) Waiver Program helps eligible seniors and individuals with physical disabilities receive the support they need to remain safely in the community rather than in a nursing home.

The Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Waiver Program is designed for individuals who have sustained a traumatic brain injury and require specialized services to live independently. These services support participants in overcoming challenges related to mobility, communication, cognition, and daily living while remaining active members of their communities.

Both programs are built around a person-centered approach that empowers individuals to make choices about their care, goals, and daily lives.
