What is the NHTD Program?

You are eligible if you:

The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) Waiver Program is a New York State Medicaid initiative that enables individuals who meet nursing-home level of care requirements to receive services in their own homes or community instead of institutions.

The “NHTD” acronym stands for Nursing Home Transition and Diversion, reflecting its dual mission: helping people transition out of nursing homes and divert those at risk of entering one.

It’s designed for New Yorkers who:

  • Are 18 or older, with adults under 65 requiring documentation of a physical disability; seniors 65+ automatically qualify.
  • Are Medicaid-eligible and assessed as needing nursing-home level care.
  • Prefer community-based living and have or can arrange a suitable residence.

Through Medicaid-funded supports—such as personal care, assistive technology, environmental modifications, community integration counseling, and service coordination—the NHTD Waiver empowers participants to maintain independence, dignity, and engagement within their communities.

What Services Are Covered Under the NHTD Waiver Program?

You need help maintaining your quality of life. Maybe you find it hard to dress, shower, or perform basic grooming tasks on your own.
