Ways to Pay

More Families Can Afford Home Care Than They Think

Many families assume home care is out of reach. The truth is, there are several ways to pay — and you may already qualify for coverage you don’t know about.

🏥

Medicaid / Home Health

Qualifying seniors and individuals with disabilities may receive in-home care at little or no cost through Michigan’s Medicaid programs. We help families navigate the enrollment process and determine eligibility — free of charge.

💳

Private Pay

Transparent hourly rates with no long-term contracts. You only pay for the hours you use. Most families who need part-time help find in-home care costs significantly less than assisted living — while their loved one gets to stay home.

🛡

Long-Term Care Insurance

If you or a loved one has a long-term care policy, it likely includes home care benefits. We work directly with your insurer to manage claims so you don’t have to.

Understanding Your Cost

What Affects the Price of Home Care?

3
Schedule & timingRegular weekday daytime hours are the most cost-effective. We’ll lay out all options clearly.
