Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Care in Michigan

What services does your home care agency provide?

We are an enrollment matching service — we are not a home care agency. We help Michigan families enroll in the Home Help Program and match you with a local Medicaid-approved provider agency in your county. The agency we match you with provides the actual caregiver services — assistance with daily activities, personal care, meal preparation, companionship, and specialized care depending on your needs.

How does Medicaid pay for home care through this program?

Michigan's Home Help Program is funded by Medicaid. If you qualify, Medicaid pays your chosen caregiver each week. We help you check eligibility and connect you with a Medicaid-approved provider agency that processes your enrollment and manages your caregiver's pay.

What is the Michigan Home Help Program?

The Michigan Home Help Program is a Medicaid program that helps eligible individuals receive long-term care services in their home or community rather than in a facility (Source: MDHHS).

Can I hire family members as caregivers under the Michigan Home Help Program?

Under the Consumer-Directed Services model of the Michigan Home Help Program, you can generally choose family members, friends, or other trusted individuals as your caregiver, giving you more control over who provides your care. Specific eligibility is determined during enrollment.

How do I apply for home care?

If you live in Michigan, call us or fill out the form on this page. We'll check your eligibility for the Home Help Program and match you with a Medicaid-approved provider agency in your county. The provider agency handles your enrollment paperwork and connects your chosen caregiver to the Medicaid pay system.
