Waiver Nursing Delegation (WND)

Waiver Nursing Delegation (WND) is a service that allows certain nursing tasks to be safely delegated to trained non-nursing staff, helping individuals with developmental disabilities receive consistent care in their everyday living environments. This approach expands access to essential health support while maintaining high standards of safety and supervision.

Qualified staff receive thorough training and ongoing oversight from licensed nurses to ensure they can perform specific health-related tasks correctly and confidently. Nurses remain responsible for monitoring care, providing guidance, and ensuring that all delegated services meet medical and regulatory requirements.

By allowing care to be delivered more efficiently in home and community settings, WND supports continuity of care, promotes health and safety, and helps individuals maintain a comfortable and independent lifestyle.
