Guidance for families applying for Medicaid-funded home care

Medicaid Eligibility in Detroit, MI

Medicaid helps Michigan residents with limited income and assets access the home care support they need. Through the state’s Home Help Program, seniors and adults with disabilities can receive personal care, homemaking, and other assistance while staying in their own homes.
At ReMarkable TLCP LLC, we support families in Detroit, MI, Southfield, and surrounding Wayne and Oakland County communities by explaining Medicaid eligibility rules, assisting with the application process, and making sure qualified individuals receive the care they deserve.

Financial Eligibility (Medicaid Basics)

To qualify for Medicaid in Michigan, applicants must meet income and asset limits set by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS). These limits vary based on household size and circumstances. If you are unsure whether you qualify, our team will guide you through MI Bridges, the online Medicaid application system, and help gather required documentation.

Functional Eligibility (Daily Living Needs)

Beyond financial qualifications, applicants must show a need for assistance with everyday activities. This includes:

  • Bathing, grooming, or dressing
  • Walking or transferring safely
  • Preparing meals or light housekeeping
  • Medication reminders or monitoring
  • Transportation to appointments or errands
MDHHS will conduct an in-home assessment to review these needs and confirm eligibility for services under the Home Help Program.

Services Covered Through Medicaid Home Help

When approved, Medicaid-funded support may include:

  • Personal care assistance (hygiene, grooming, dressing)
  • Mobility and transfer support
  • Meal planning, cooking, and housekeeping
  • Medication reminders
  • Transportation for errands and medical appointments
Each plan of care is tailored to the individual based on the results of the state assessment.
