The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) waiver program helps Medicaid-eligible seniors and people with physical disabilities in New York receive essential services while living in the community, instead of in a nursing home or institutional setting.
Community Integration Counseling (CIC)
CIC offers one-on-one support to NHTD waiver participants adjusting to life changes, such as altered abilities or transitioning from a nursing home. Counselors help individuals cope emotionally and work with other service providers to support a smooth, holistic recovery.
Our goal is to develop a personalized service plan that promotes independence, community integration, and overall well-being. We support each participant in accessing and organizing the services needed to remain in—or return to—community living, helping to prevent institutional placement.
The ILST (Independent Living Skills Training) program helps individuals with disabilities develop and maintain the skills needed for independent living. It focuses on rebuilding daily living (ADL) and instrumental (IADL) skills that may have been affected by their condition.
