Yes. Through Michigan’s Medicaid Home Help Program, a qualifying family member — including an adult child — can be hired and paid to provide care for a parent, spouse, or relative who needs help at home.
Your family member typically needs Medicaid and a documented need for help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, or meal prep. We check eligibility for your family at no cost.
No formal certification is required to care for your own family member under this program. Our team walks you through enrollment, paperwork, and any required training.
That’s fine too. Grateful Home Care also matches households with a trained caregiver for personal care, companion support, or higher-need home health aide services.
Timelines vary by household. Once your family’s Medicaid status is confirmed, our team moves quickly — and we follow up the same day you reach out.
Whether that means getting paid to provide the care yourself, or bringing in a trained caregiver, we’ll help you figure out which path fits.
