True Stories
What our clients said about our help
"Working with I&Y Health has fundamentally improved my workflow. Before, navigating an OPWDD referral was a time-consuming, document-heavy process that took me away from my clients. Now, I can confidently refer a family to the I&Y team and know they will be handled with expertise and compassion. They are incredibly responsive, provide clear updates, and have successfully secured services for my most complex cases. They are my go-to partner for OPWDD and NHTD coordination."
Maria S., Bronx, NY
Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW)
"Before we found I&Y Health, my husband and I felt completely lost trying to understand the OPWDD system for our son. We were overwhelmed by the paperwork and terrified of making a mistake. The team at I&Y Health was a lifeline. They patiently walked us through every single step, explained everything in simple terms, and handled all the communication. Because of them, our son now has the respite care and behavioral support we desperately needed. It has brought so much peace of mind to our family."
David Chen, Queens, NY
Parent
"When my father's health declined, we thought a nursing home was our only option — a thought that was heartbreaking for him. A hospital social worker referred us to I&Y Health, and they introduced us to the NHTD waiver program. It was the solution we didn't know existed. They managed the entire complex application and helped coordinate everything needed to keep him safe at home. My father has kept his independence and dignity, and for that, we are eternally grateful."
Sarah Johnson, Brooklyn, NY
Daughter of Client
"In discharge planning, ensuring a safe transition into the community is paramount. For patients who qualify for the NHTD waiver, I&Y Health is an essential resource. They are professional, act with urgency, and possess an expert-level understanding of the program's requirements. Partnering with them results in seamless, sustainable discharge plans that reduce the risk of readmission. They are a reliable and vital extension of our care transition team."
