Paid.care provides payment, professional training, coaching, emotional, and financial support for families caring for loved one.

The Home Help Program can provide the kind of support you're looking for to live independently at home.

This is an alternative to living in an adult foster care home, a retirement home, or a nursing facility. Home help agencies are connected to programs funded by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) that allow qualified individuals to hire caregivers to assist them with daily activities.

In Illinois, those who live in the home of a loved one on Medicaid and the Community Care Program qualifies. This includes children, and anyone except for spouses and power of attorneys.

Clinical Eligibility:

Home help agencies can assist with a variety of essential daily tasks, allowing individuals to remain independent in their own homes. These tasks include:

• Meal preparation and assistance with eating

• Bathing and personal hygiene

• Dressing and grooming

• Moving safely within the home

• Transferring between bed, chair, and other positions

• Using the toilet and maintaining continence

This support helps individuals avoid the need to transition to assisted living facilities or nursing homes.

Financial eligibility is categorized into two primary components: income and assets.

Qualifying for the Home Help Program:

Active Medicaid: Having active Medicaid is one way to qualify for in-home assistance programs.

Income Exceeding Limits: Even if your income surpasses standard Medicaid limits, programs with deductibles might be available.

For more details, contact your local Adult Services Unit at the MDHHS office. Ask about programs for individuals with deductibles who need in-home assistance.

If you have Medicaid, training and support is covered by Paid.care and is at no cost to you or your loved one. Select Medicare and Mediaid plans cover the cost of Paid.care training and support for their members. Our program allows families to live a healthy and happy life in their own homes.

In Michigan, anyone with Medicaid or eligible for the Home Help Program through a Home Help Agency is eligible to get paid.
