Common questions
What is the Michigan Home Help Program?
It's a Michigan Medicaid program that pays for personal care at home for people who need hands-on help with daily activities. MDHHS decides who qualifies and how much care is approved.
Can a family member be the caregiver?
Often, yes. The person receiving care can choose their caregiver. The caregiver has to meet state requirements, including enrollment and a background check, before any paid care begins.
What if they don't have Medicaid, or I'm not sure?
Fill out the form anyway and ask for guidance. We'll point you to the right next step. Medicaid coverage is required before Home Help services can be paid.
Does this form sign me up for services?
No. This is a first conversation. Submitting it does not establish eligibility, guarantee a job, or authorize paid services.
Express Help Care LLC is a private agency approved by MDHHS as a Home Help agency provider. We are not the State of Michigan or MDHHS. Eligibility and the amount of approved care are decided by MDHHS.
