Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

Yes. Michigan's Home Help Program, run by MDHHS and funded by Medicaid, pays caregivers — including family members — to help eligible individuals with daily activities at home. United Home Care Services helps you enroll and get paid through the program.
Yes. There is never a cost to you or your loved one. We're paid by the State of Michigan's Medicaid program to provide care — not by families.
The person receiving care must have active Michigan Medicaid and need hands-on help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, eating, or mobility. The caregiver must be 18 or older and pass a background check. Spouses and legal guardians generally cannot be paid caregivers under the program.
Pay depends on the number of hours MDHHS approves for your loved one and the level of care required. Caregivers can earn up to $20 per hour through United Home Care Services.
Most families are approved within a few weeks. The timeline depends on how quickly MDHHS completes the in-home assessment. We stay on top of the process so you don't have to.
Absolutely. Call us at (248) 325-8586 and a care coordinator will answer your questions.
Yes. Your information is only used to check eligibility and contact you about the program. We never sell your data.
