Our Story
Allwel, as an agency, was established in 2000, and for the following 14 years was known as New Frontiers in TBI, Inc. (NFTBI). With the name New Frontiers, the agency exclusively served individuals with Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) under the New York State Home & Community Based TBI Medicaid Waiver program. Over the following years, NFTBI began providing more and more home care services for persons with chronic disease, Alzheimer’s / dementia, and other disabilities requiring physical and supportive care. As a result of these cumulative changes, the name New Frontiers in TBI, Inc. was no longer felt to be representative of the agency we had become, and Allwel was chosen to more accurately reflect the expansion of our mission to provide the supports needed to help the people who need care get it where they want to stay…at home.
Our Philosophy and Mission
Home care is done best when it is a partnership between the agency and the families being served. When each partner provides support when the unexpected arises, your loved one will always get the care they want. Family caregivers have things that come up. You have a life you’re actively leading. The care for the participant still needs to be provided. Our partnership will provide the immediate and on-going care needed so that can happen. Through collaboration, we will maintain a plan of care that centers on the rights of the person we are serving to live as independently as possible, and continue to live their life where they wish.
