I’m Looking for Care for My…

Home health care is a range of health care services you can receive in your home to make remaining independent more possible. It’s typically less expensive, more convenient, and just as effective as care you might receive nursing facility.

Home care might be right for you if you need part-time or intermittent personal care and would like to remain as independent as possible. This means you would like to remain in your home and receive care in the comfort of your home.

The Home Help Program is a Medicaid-funded service administered by MDHHS that provides funding for in-home care assistance to eligible Medicaid beneficiaries. 

See our services page for a list of covered services.

The number of care hours you can receive is based on your individual needs – there is no set maximum. For clients with severe functional limitations requiring extensive care, Expanded Home Help Services (EHHS) can be authorized. This is available when hands-on care needs exceed 179.9 hours per month. EHHS must be approved by an adult services supervisor and/or the MDHHS Home Help Policy Section. Each client’s care hours are determined based on their specific situation and care requirements.

The Home Help services don’t cover 24-hour-a-day home care, meal delivery, homemaker services unrelated to the care plan, home repairs, prompting or reminding someone to do a task,  supervision, transportation, yard work, financial services or custodial care when that’s the only care you need.

The Home Help program is funded by Medicaid and costs nothing to you if you qualify.

Not all types of medicaid support home help. Usually, straight medicaid is the best for coverage.
