The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) program is a Medicaid waiver program designed to support individuals who are nursing home-eligible but wish to remain in their own homes.
Participants in the program receive the same array of services, supervision, and expert care they would expect from a nursing home — all within their own walls.

Anyone Medicaid-eligible in New York, age 18+, who needs nursing home level of care.
Although the program primarily serves seniors, an individual over 18 years old with a verified physical disability may be eligible as well.
Americare’s Service Coordinators can help you determine your eligibility based on program requirements and your specific needs.
No, the NHTD program is fully covered by Medicaid.
