in Caring for a Parent

hi everyone, I’m pretty new on this forum especially posting a discussion so I’m not really sure if I’m doing this correctly. I live in upstate New York and I am my mom’s soul care provider. I moved my mother into my home eight months ago and I’m still trying to tap into NHTD waiver services in our area. Is there anyone out there in my position that may be able to give me some advice or allow me to run a few things by them please?

    The Alzheimer’s Association runs a 24/7 helpline staffed by people who can help you with specific situations and help find resources in your local area. It is described here:

    You could contact an elder care attorney for help. They are usually familiar with the programs. I found this online: MLTC differs from the Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) waiver, as it focuses on providing ongoing care in the community rather than solely transitioning individuals from nursing homes. Ditto about calling the Alzheimer’s toll free number in the above post. You can also try a search on this forum to see if anyone posted anything about NY Medicaid.
