Eligibility generally requires being assessed as needing nursing home level care, having or qualifying for Medicaid that covers community-based long-term care, being able to live safely in the community with the waiver services, and meeting specific age or disability criteria (typically 18-64 with a physical disability or 65+).

Services are tailored to individual needs through a person-centered plan. Covered services can include Service Coordination, home health aide services, skilled nursing, various therapies (physical, occupational, speech), assistive technology, home/vehicle modifications, and more, all aimed at supporting independence at home.

NHTD is a Medicaid program. If you are approved for both Medicaid and the NHTD waiver, the cost of the authorized waiver services is typically covered by Medicaid. There might be cost-sharing depending on your specific Medicaid eligibility, but often services are provided at no direct cost to the participant.
