What The Home Care Agency Does

We help Michigan families understand the Home Help Program, check eligibility, and connect with a Medicaid-approved home care provider agency in their county. The provider agency we match you with handles enrollment paperwork, caregiver onboarding, and ongoing program support.

The Home Care Agency is an enrollment matching service. We are not a Medicaid provider agency. We connect eligible Michigan families with licensed Medicaid-approved provider agencies that deliver care.

How does Medicaid pay for home care through this program?

Yes, under the Consumer-Directed Services (CDS) model of the Michigan Home Help Program, you can hire family members, friends, or other trusted individuals to be your caregivers, giving you more control over who provides your care.
