Yes. Through Michigan's Medicaid Home Help Program, eligible family members — including adult children and siblings — may qualify to receive payment for non-medical care they provide at home. Spouses are not eligible to be paid as caregivers under Michigan MDHHS policy. Contact us for a free eligibility check to confirm your specific situation.

The Michigan Medicaid Home Help Program is a state-funded program administered by MDHHS that pays authorized caregivers to provide non-medical daily support to Medicaid-enrolled individuals at home. Services include personal care, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and companionship — allowing people to stay safely at home rather than moving to a facility.

Through the Michigan Medicaid Home Help Program, the state pays individual caregivers $17 per hour when self-managing their care. When working through an agency like Tohme HomeCare Group, we pay caregivers a minimum of $18 per hour — and often more depending on the case. We also handle all the administrative work, payroll, and compliance so caregivers can focus entirely on providing care.

To qualify, your loved one must be enrolled in Michigan Medicaid, be 18 years or older, live at home (not in a nursing facility), and need assistance with non-medical daily activities due to age or disability. The caregiver must also be approved by MDHHS. We review your specific situation during a free eligibility check.

No. In Michigan, spouses are not eligible to be paid as caregivers under the Medicaid Home Help Program per MDHHS policy. If you are a spouse looking for support, we can help explore other care options available to your family. Call us at (248) 224-2027 for a free consultation.

Yes — your loved one does need to be enrolled in Michigan Medicaid to qualify for the Home Help Program. If they are not yet on Medicaid, we can gladly help guide your family through the Medicaid application process as a first step. Once approved for Medicaid, we then move forward with the Home Help enrollment together.

Timelines vary depending on your specific situation, the completeness of your paperwork, and MDHHS processing times. Some families complete the process within a few weeks while others may take longer. We guide you through every step to help avoid delays and keep things moving as quickly as possible.

Michigan Home Help covers non-medical daily living support including assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders (not administration), transportation to appointments, and companionship. Skilled nursing, physical therapy, wound care, and other medical services are not covered under this program.

No. We provide a completely free eligibility check and guide families through the enrollment process at no upfront cost. There is no obligation to continue after the eligibility review.

Medicaid home care through the Home Help Program pays a family member or approved caregiver — funded by the state. Private home care is a self-pay service where we place a professional, background-checked caregiver in your home on a flexible schedule. Private care is available to anyone regardless of Medicaid status.

Every caregiver placed by Tohme HomeCare Group undergoes a full background check prior to placement. We take who enters your home seriously — so you can focus on care, not worry.

Private home care can typically begin much faster than Medicaid enrollment — often within days of your initial consultation depending on caregiver availability and your specific needs. Contact us and we will work to match you as quickly as possible.
