What Is the NHTD Waiver Program?

The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) Waiver is a New York State Medicaid program designed to help people who are nursing-home eligible receive care in the community instead. The goal is to support independence, dignity, and safety at home.

Through the NHTD waiver, eligible participants can receive a range of services, including service coordination, personal care, home and community support services, and certain home modifications.
