The Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Medicaid Waiver is part of the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) program overseen by the New York State Department of Health. This waiver program allows individuals with TBI or related diagnoses to receive care at home or in a community setting instead of a nursing facility.

Medicaid funding is used to provide a broad range of supportive services, designed to help each person remain safely and successfully integrated into the community. These services are ideal when informal caregivers, local agencies, or traditional Medicaid services alone are not enough.

The TBI Waiver helps individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury remain safely in their communities, reducing the need for institutional care.

This program is built on the belief that individuals with TBI deserve the same rights as anyone else—to make their own choices, manage risks, and live with dignity.

Each participant is assigned a Service Coordinator to help them access needed care and connect with educational, medical, social, and vocational resources.

Enrolling in our TBI Services In New York service is designed to be straightforward and personalized, ensuring that you receive the care you need promptly and efficiently.

Nurse evaluation

A nurse from the RRDC will conduct a home visit to evaluate eligibility and recommend the level of services needed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a homecare provider myself, I cannot say how impressed and happy I am with Individual Home Care. In the world of home care it is important to be hands on, caring, compassionate and readily available if and when there are issues. Charles and his staff are all of those things. I have gotten to see Charles on many occasions speak with our mutual clients and clients of his own. It is always done so with care, real time advice and direction, and a top priority to Charles and staff. They are able to smoothly navigate Medicaid and any bumps in the road that come with the process. I strongly recommend every and all of our clients to Charles with extreme confidence on a daily basis. Thank you Individual Home Care!!!!!
