In the mid 90's Gov. Cuomo began the process to "bring home" over 900 individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) who had been displaced due to overcrowding and a deficit of skilled care facilities who could successfully care for these individuals. These displaced individual's medical needed varied greatly; from coma patients on vents, to substance abuse, and behavioral services. Tasked with developing the proper resources and programs so these individuals could live in New York State, The TBI Waiver Program was born.
As many of these individuals were in need of long term care, Medicaid developed a program that "waives" the standard rules and offers specialized services to those with qualifying diagnoses. As a result, we here at TLC Support Service, LLC are contracted under the Department of Health as a provider of these services within New York State.
