What is the Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) Waiver Program?
The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) Waiver Program is a New York State sponsored Medicaid program that helps seniors and people with physical disabilities receive comprehensive services they need while they live in a community-based setting (such as their home), rather than in a nursing home, congregate care setting, or other institution.
Who is eligible to enroll in the NHTD program?
To qualify, consumers must:
• Be eligible for Medicaid.
• Be assessed as needing a nursing home level of care.
• Be 18 or older. Consumers below the age of 65 must have a verified physical disability.
What if I don’t have Medicaid?
Don’t be discouraged if you don’t have Medicaid. We have Medicaid specialists that can guide you through the process of enrolling in Medicaid coverage. There is a lot of misinformation out there with regards to Medicaid eligiblity, and many consumers who were told that they are not eligible in fact can get Medicaid coverage.
What are the maximum number of home care hours that consumers can receive under NHTD?
Consumers can receive up to 24 hours of home care under NHTD. In fact, it is not uncommon for consumers to be approved to receive split-shift care – this means that they receive a round-the-clock rotation of home attendants to ensure that there is always a home attendant on call.
Can home care consumers with Alzheimer’s and/or Dementia enroll in NHTD?
Absolutely. The NHTD program can be a great option for home care consumers with Alzheimer’s and/or Dementia. In fact, a consumer having a cognitive impairment can be an important factor their being determined eligible for NHTD.
