Personal Care with the New York Medicaid NHTD Waiver Program

As our population ages, the need for comprehensive care and support for seniors becomes increasingly vital. For many older adults, nursing homes can seem like the only option when they require assistance with daily living activities. However, the Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) Waiver Program, offered under New York State (NYS) Medicaid, aims to provide an alternative, empowering seniors to age with dignity in their own communities.

Understanding the NHTD Waiver Program

The NHTD Waiver Program is designed to help Medicaid-eligible individuals who would otherwise require nursing home care to receive services in their own homes or community settings. By offering a range of support services, the program enables seniors to maintain their independence and quality of life right at home.

Services Covered with NHTD

Under the NHTD Waiver Program, participants have access to a variety of services tailored to their individual needs. These services may include service coordination, respite care, day program community integration services and counseling.

Elara Caring is providing personal care services under the NHTD Waiver Program. This includes assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing/grooming, grocery shopping, housekeeping and meal preparation.

“Elara is committed to providing services where people need it most: in their home,” said Denise Tripodi, Elara Caring’s Regional VP of Personal Care Services in New York. “We know that people survive longer and have a better quality of life when they are allowed to live in the familiar and loving surroundings of their own home.”

Eligibility Criteria for NHTD

To qualify for the NHTD Waiver Program, individuals must meet the following criteria:

  1. Be eligible for Medicaid in New York State.
  2. Must have a Patient Review Instrument or PRI completed to determine level of care. This is essentially a “picture” of the patient and determines the patient’s long-term needs.
  3. Patient must be Custodial Level of Care or Nursing Home Level of Care.
  4. Be able to live safely in a community setting with the support of waiver services.

 

By offering a comprehensive array of in home care services, the NHTD program empowers individuals to remain in their homes or community settings while receiving the care they need. It will play a crucial role in ensuring that seniors can live their later years with dignity, autonomy and a sense of belonging. We provide in home care across New York, find your local personal care branch.
