Who pays for home care?

Commision or Division on Aging

There are several programs that are offered for older adults through the Commission on Aging and these include the lunch programs and other support services funded by our tax dollars.

Some government subsidized home care may be available through the MI Medicaid Home Based Waiver. This program was designed to keep people who might otherwise need to move into a nursing home facility, in their own home! Primary Home Care is a contract provider of this help which must be applied for and secured through Region VII Area Agency on Aging. Some restrictions apply, the funding is provided from federal, state and other public money and openings are often limited.
