"My family and I experienced the highest levels of professionalism, responsiveness, and care from everyone connected. In a time of stress and rapid change, we knew that our father's care was in safe hands. Thank you."

Denise M. Michigan Family

"The staff is really friendly and does a wonderful job caring for my brother. This has been a stressful transition for us as a family and everyone has gone above and beyond here to make us feel at ease and like family. Thank you."

Marcus T. Michigan Family

"I was nervous about switching agencies but The Home Care Agency made everything so easy. My mother's hours stayed the same, her caregiver stayed the same, and we started seeing better support right away. I wish we had switched sooner."

How does Medicaid pay for home care through this program?

Yes, under the Consumer-Directed Services (CDS) model of 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.
