Unlock Better Living with the NHTD Home Care Program

At Cottage Home Care Services, we believe that independence and quality care should go hand in hand. For individuals looking to transition out of a nursing home or those at risk of institutionalization, the Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) program provides a Medicaid-funded alternative, allowing them to receive personalized home care services while remaining in the comfort of their own homes.

If you or a loved one is eligible for Medicaid and needs long-term care, this guide will help you understand how NHTD at Cottage Home Care Services can support a smooth transition while maintaining safety, dignity, and independence.

What is the NHTD Program?

The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) Medicaid Waiver is a New York State program designed to help individuals who require nursing-home-level care but prefer to receive services at home or in a community-based setting.

The program provides essential support services, allowing individuals to maintain independence, control, and dignity while avoiding unnecessary institutionalization.

• Must be 18 years or older
• Must be Medicaid eligible
• Require nursing-home-level care
• Wish to transition from a nursing home or prevent institutionalization
