The TBI Waiver provides crucial support for individuals with traumatic brain injuries, allowing them to remain at home and avoid the need for a nursing facility. This Program offers a wide range of services, such as personal care, medical visits, and assistance with daily tasks, ensuring individuals can maintain their independence in a familiar and comfortable environment. Studies show that nearly 70% of individuals with brain injuries can live independently at home with the right support, making this Waiver an essential lifeline for many.

The NHTD Waiver is designed for individuals who prefer to remain in their homes instead of moving to a long-term care facility. It offers services such as home care, medical visits, transportation, and home safety modifications, helping individuals manage their care needs without leaving their communities. The waiver supports people in regaining their independence, and research suggests that individuals who receive services under the NHTD Waiver have a significantly reduced risk of premature institutionalization.

Both the TBI and NHTD Waivers are part of Medicaid’s Managed Long-Term Care Programs, allowing individuals to receive essential services that would typically be provided in a nursing home, all while staying at home. If you qualify for Medicaid, these services are usually covered with little to no out-of-pocket costs. In New York, Medicaid is available to individuals with incomes up to $1,563 per month (for a single person) or $2,283 for couples, though some Programs like the Medically Needy Program may offer exceptions based on medical expenses.

The TBI and NHTD Waivers include a wide range of services to help individuals with daily living tasks and medical care. These services can include personal care, meal delivery, transportation, home modifications, and medical visits, tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Additionally, 24/7 caregiving support is available, which can significantly improve quality of life and reduce hospitalizations, as studies show that individuals who receive home care have a 30% lower likelihood of experiencing preventable hospital readmissions.

Both the TBI and NHTD Waiver Programs help reduce the need for emergency room visits and unnecessary hospital stays by providing consistent, in-home care. Caregivers assist with daily activities, ensure medication adherence, and monitor the individual’s health, which helps prevent avoidable complications. Research indicates that individuals receiving home care services are 25% less likely to experience unplanned hospital admissions, contributing to better long-term health outcomes
