Programs & Ways to Pay
Most of our clients pay nothing out of pocket. Here's how home care gets covered in Michigan — and how we help you find the right path.
MDHHS Home Help (Medicaid)
Our specialty. Michigan Medicaid pays for approved hours of non-medical, in-home care each month — at no cost to eligible clients. We manage enrollment start to finish.
Medicaid Health Plans
Enrolled in a Michigan Medicaid health plan? Ask us — many members can still receive Home Help services, and some plans offer additional in-home benefits.
Private Pay
No Medicaid? Families can purchase care by the hour — for extra hours beyond an approved plan, or while an application is in process. Call for current rates.
