At Good Shepherd Home Care, we proudly provide services under the NHTD (Nursing Home Transition and Diversion) Program in New York.

The NHTD program helps eligible individuals transition from nursing homes back into the community or avoid nursing home placement altogether by providing personalized home and community-based services.

"Our goal is simple: to help you live safely, independently, and with dignity in your own home."

What Is the NHTD Program?

The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) Medicaid Waiver Program is funded through Medicaid in New York State. It is designed for seniors and individuals with physical disabilities who qualify for nursing home level of care but prefer to live in their community.

The program provides services that support independence, personal choice, and community integration.
