No Wrong Door (NWD) definition
No Wrong Door (NWD) means a federal initiative developed and supported by the Administration for Community Living (ACL), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) to assist individuals with understanding and navigating complicated long-term services and supports. It requires statewide coordination of systems and resources to streamline eligibility processes and provide comprehensive information on available services, along with a person-centered approach designed to empower individuals to make informed decisions, to exercise control over their long-term care needs, and to achieve their personal goals and preferences.
