TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI)
Nursing Home Transition and Diversion Waiver:
The Home and Community Based Services Nursing Home Transition and Diversion Waiver (HCBS/NHTD) provides support and services to assist individuals with disabilities and seniors toward successful inclusion in the community. Participants may come from a nursing facility or other institution, or choose to participant in the program to prevent institutionalization.
HCBS/NHTD waiver services may be considered when informal supports, local, state and federally funded services and Medicaid State Plan services are not sufficient to assure the health and welfare of the individual in the community, or when waiver services are a more efficient use of Medicaid funds.
Using Medicaid funding, the HCBS/NHTD waiver is administered by the New York State Department of Health (DOH) through contractual agreements with Regional Resource Development Centers (RRDC) and Quality Management Specialists (QMS).
