Priority Cares: Compassionate Home Health Services in New York
Priority Cares Home Services, headquartered in Queens, NY, specializes in Medicaid‑funded programs that empower individuals to live independently outside institutional settings: NHTD (Nursing Home Transition & Diversion) and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) waiver services in New York City, and PCA (Personal Care Assistance) in our licensed upstate counties (Chemung, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe and Ontario). (Priority Cares Home Services)
🧩 Why We Exist
Many individuals with medical or cognitive challenges face unnecessary institutionalization. Priority Cares bridges that gap by:
- Assisting with safe transitions from nursing facilities back to community living
- Offering daily support at home for those with TBI or disabilities
- Providing trained caregivers for personal care and daily living assistance in our licensed upstate counties (Chemung, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe and Ontario) (Priority Cares Home Services)
Our Services
1. Traumatic Brain Injury Program (TBI)
In New York City, support includes:
- Community Integration Counseling (CIC) to aid coping, adaptation, and life planning
- Service Coordination to access state‑managed HCBS supports
- Independent Living Skills Training (ILST) to rebuild daily life abilities (Priority Cares Home Services)
2. Nursing Home Transition & Diversion (NHTD)
This Medicaid waiver aids those seeking to avoid or leave nursing facilities, offering community‑based support customized to foster independence and preserve quality of life. In New York City we provide NHTD service coordination, independent living skills training, community integration counseling and behavioral supports (on Long Island, community integration counseling only). The state is currently not accepting most new NHTD referrals, with limited openings released through the Regional Resource Development Centers (RRDCs), so our NHTD services are for people already on the waiver, who can choose or switch providers.

3. Personal Care Assistance (PCA) & Home Health Aide Services
In our licensed upstate counties (Chemung, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe and Ontario), caregivers assist with essentials like bathing, dressing, meal prep, hygiene, medication reminders, and companionship—tailored to each individual’s needs.

4. Companion & Homemaker Support

Contact them today at (718) 400‑6166 or via email at admin@prioritycareshs.com. In New York City we are a NYS DOH-approved NHTD and TBI waiver provider (service coordination, independent living skills training, community integration counseling and behavioral supports). We don’t send home care aides in New York City, but we’ll connect you with a licensed home care agency and walk you through Medicaid and MLTC. If you or your loved one is already on the NHTD waiver, you can choose or switch your provider; for new clients, we can check TBI waiver eligibility. Personal care aides are available from Priority Cares only in our licensed upstate counties (Chemung, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe and Ontario).
