Our Mission

At Serenity Service Coordination, our mission is to empower individuals with disabilities and older adults to live with dignity, independence, and purpose in the communities they call home. Through compassionate, person-centered service coordination, we walk alongside each participant in the NHTD Waiver Program — listening first, advocating always, and ensuring that every voice is heard and every need is met. We believe that where you live and how you live should be your choice. We are here to make that possible.

What is NHTD Service Coordination

The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) Waiver Program helps New Yorkers with cognitive impairment, such as Dementia, and Alzheimer's live independently in their own homes and communities — rather than in nursing facilities. A Service Coordinator is your dedicated guide through this process.

As your Service Coordinator, we work alongside you to assess your needs, connect you with the right services, and build a care plan that reflects your goals — not a one-size-fits-all solution. Services can include home modifications, personal care, assistive technology, community integration support, and more.

You are at the center of every decision. We are here to make sure the system works for you.

We are guided by the following core principles:

Clear Communication

We prioritize transparent, consistent communication among care providers, patients, and their families. By clearly defining roles, addressing concerns proactively, and ensuring alignment across all parties, we promote continuity and trust in care delivery.

Empathy and Support

We approach every interaction with compassion and understanding, recognizing the emotional challenges patients and families face. Our goal is to provide meaningful support that eases the burden on families while promoting patient dignity and comfort. 

Efficient Care Coordination

We streamline care across multiple providers and services, including appointment scheduling, transportation arrangements, coordination of medical equipment and supplies, secure sharing of medical information, and timely follow-up to prevent gaps in care.

Advocacy and Resource Navigation

We serve as dedicated advocates, guiding patients and families through the complexities of the healthcare and home care systems. This includes assistance with insurance matters, access to community resources, and education on patient rights.

Continuous Monitoring and Quality Improvement

We actively monitor patient progress and gather ongoing feedback to ensure care plans remain appropriate and effective. This allows us to make timely adjustments and continuously improve the quality of care delivered. 

Respect for Patient Preferences

We honor the unique values, cultural backgrounds, and personal preferences of each patient and their family. By incorporating these into care planning, we foster collaboration and individualized care.

Collaborative Team Approach

We work closely with a multidisciplinary team of healthcare and home care professionals to ensure comprehensive, coordinated support that addresses all aspects of a patient’s health and well-being.

Outcome-Focused Care

Our ultimate goal is to improve health outcomes and enhance quality of life. Every aspect of our service delivery is aligned with achieving measurable, meaningful results for our patients.
