We accept TBI Waiver, NHTD Waiver, and Private Pay.

This waiver is money from the Federal Government, given to the New York Department of Health. The purpose of this waiver is to provide funding so individuals with brain injuries may recover in more comfortable settings such as their home or a community center instead of receiving care in an institution such as a hospital or nursing home.

To qualify, individuals must have Medicaid, be over 18, must meet a level of care needed to enter a nursing home, must choose to live in the community, and must have a traumatic brain injury after the age of 18.
