Our Programs

Medicaid home care services in Rochester, NY

We specialize in three Medicaid waiver and personal-care programs that allow eligible Monroe County residents to receive care at home rather than in a nursing facility.

NHTD

Nursing Home Transition & Diversion

For Monroe County adults at risk of nursing home placement — or ready to return home from a facility. Coordinated services including home modifications, assistive technology, and personal care, planned by coordinators based right in the Rochester area.

Medicaid Covered

TBI

TBI Waiver Support Services

Specialized in-home support for residents managing traumatic brain injury — community integration counseling, independent living skills training, and behavioral supports. Our team has direct experience navigating Rochester-area TBI referral networks, including Strong Memorial Hospital and Unity Health.

Medicaid Covered

PCA

Personal Care Aide Program

Hands-on daily assistance for Medicaid-eligible Monroe County residents who need help with bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, and light housekeeping — from trained, background-checked aides matched to each client's language, schedule, and care needs.

Medicaid Covered

Noticing memory or thinking changes in a loved one? Try our free Rochester memory-care self-check — 14 signs to look for, no diagnosis required.

Getting Started

3 simple steps to begin home care

Starting Medicaid home care can feel overwhelming. We make it straightforward.

1

Free eligibility call

Call us or complete the form below. A care coordinator reviews your Medicaid status, diagnosis, and functional needs to determine which program — NHTD, TBI, or PCA — is the right fit. Free, and takes about 15 minutes.

2

We handle the paperwork

Once eligibility is confirmed, our team submits all documentation to Monroe County LDSS and/or the NHTD/TBI Regional Resource Development Center on your behalf — keeping you updated in plain language, no jargon.

3

Care begins at home

After authorization, we match you with a qualified aide or support worker and build a schedule that fits your life. A registered nurse conducts an in-home assessment, and most clients begin services within 7–14 days of authorization.
