The NHTD waiver helps seniors and people with disabilities stay in their communities, not institutions.
(718) 223-1700
For many families, the choice between staying at home and moving into a nursing facility feels forced. The NHTD waiver was designed to make a different option possible: the support and services that keep someone safely in the community.
The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) Medicaid Waiver is a Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) program administered by the New York State Department of Health. The waiver uses Medicaid funding to provide the support people need to stay included in their community.
Participants come to the waiver one of two ways: transitioning home from a nursing facility, or choosing the waiver to avoid moving into one in the first place.
The waiver becomes an option when informal support and other Medicaid services aren’t enough to keep someone safely in the community. It can also apply when the waiver is simply a more efficient use of Medicaid funds.
Seniors and people with disabilities have the same rights as everyone else. They should be in control of their own lives, with the freedom to take on, manage, and learn from risks.
Every participant is paired with a Service Coordinator. Your coordinator helps you access services within the program and connects you with other local, state, and federally funded educational, vocational, social, medical, and other services.
Request the waiver program from the Regional Resource Development Center.
A nurse from the RRDC visits to evaluate whether you’re eligible.
Once you’re deemed eligible, choose a Service Coordination agency like Regency to assist with your Initial Service Plan (ISP) and get services started.
Only wonderful things to say about Regency Health Care! The care, the staff, and the entire office experience have all been exceptional. Everyone is compassionate, professional, and truly goes above and beyond. You can feel how much they genuinely care about their clients and families.
I highly recommend Regency if you need care for an elderly family member or loved one. Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask about the services they provide throughout NYC. I went into the office and they took care of me immediately, making the entire experience easy and welcoming.
From day one, we noticed that ‘patient care management is our priority’ was more than just a slogan—it was truly their standard. Their dedication to patient care, along with their experience in senior care, gave our family the peace of mind we needed.
Regency is definitely one of the best home care agencies out there. They have great customer service and are always going above and beyond to make sure their patients receive the quality care, attention, and support they need and deserve.
This is the best service I’ve ever had. The staff at the front desk were incredibly helpful, and their supervisor, Yolanda, was very kind and took the time to answer all of my questions.
As a Case Manager, I refer my clients to Regency Health Care because they truly value their patients and provide quality care. The staff works as a team to ensure patients’ needs are met and consistently goes above and beyond.
My grandmother has been with Regency for two years and receives 24-hour care. We’ve always had wonderful aides who take great care of her. I would highly recommend Regency to anyone in need of home care services.
