Our Services
NHTD and TBI Waiver Service Coordination in New York
Guiding You Every Step of the Way
We provide Service Coordination for individuals enrolled in the Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Waiver Programs in New York.
Our role is to help participants live safely in their preferred community setting by ensuring they have the services and supports needed to remain at home or transition out of a nursing facility.
We work closely with participants, families, and providers to ensure care is appropriate, well coordinated, and responsive to changing needs.
What Is Service Coordination?
Service Coordination is a core part of the NHTD and TBI Waiver Programs. A Service Coordination agency serves as the primary point of contact and navigator throughout the application process and maintains active, ongoing involvement throughout a participant's enrollment in the waiver services.
Service Coordination includes:
- Identifying needs and goals in collaboration with the participant and family
- Developing and maintaining an individualized service plan
- Coordinating waiver and community-based services
- Supporting ongoing Medicaid and waiver eligibility
- Monitoring services and addressing concerns as they arise
- Advocating to ensure services align with participant needs and preferences

Medicaid Renewals and Documentation

Advocacy

Supporting Community Living
A primary goal of the NHTD and TBI Waiver Programs is to support individuals in living safely in the community. We assist participants by coordinating services and supports that promote independence, stability, and safety.
This includes helping individuals:
- Transition home from a nursing facility
