NEW YORK, NY–Per the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 1.5M Americans sustain a TBI (traumatic brain injury) every year. A person’s brain encounters an external force so strong that it is moved within the skull, resulting in short- and long-term issues that may include blurred vision, difficulties with concentrating, personality changes, and even death. Many TBI patients will face either moving into a nursing home or receiving home care. Home Care Advisory Group, which works with Home Care for Adults to provide A-Z home care for New Yorkers on Medicaid, has created an educational program to help TBI patients understand their options as outlined by New York State’s Department of Health. The goal is to make it easier for individuals to access long-term care and choose the plan that is right for their situation.
Home Care Advisory Group is committed to connecting New York’s TBI patients, veterans, seniors, and those with chronic diseases or injuries with dignified, affordable home care. Its specialists serve as guides through the Medicaid system and regularly work with attorneys, social workers, and discharge planners. The company also has expertise in the finer details of managed home care, including the CDPAP, pooled income trusts, and options for consumers who do not qualify for Medicaid. Its partner, Home Care for Adults, provides non-medical home health care services, such as meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, personal hygiene, medication reminders, and cognitive stimulation activities.
In unveiling its educational program for TBI patients, Home Care Advisory Group aims to empower them with accurate information about their options for dignified long-term care. The company explains that too many individuals with traumatic brain injuries or their loved ones do not realize that nursing homes are not their only possibility. They may also qualify to receive assistance in the comfort of their homes.
Home Care Advisory Group explains that per New York State’s Department of Health:
- There are 11 Medicaid-funded services that may help participants to live independently in community settings.
- Financial assistance is possible, including rent-subsidies, housing support, and one-time payments for furniture and household supplies.
- Recipients are given the choice of living in either the community or a nursing facility.
Home Care Advisory Group invites TBI patients and their loved ones to reach out to its specialists at 212-540-2984 or to contact them online. They are more than happy to explain how the TBI Waiver works and to assist with all paperwork and evaluations. Home Care for Adults also stands ready to help individuals with traumatic brain injuries to receive the professional, compassionate care they need, including at home.
