Macomb County Home Help Program — Michigan Families Can Get Paid to Provide Care
If you're in Macomb County — Warren, Sterling Heights, Clinton Township, Roseville, or anywhere in metro Detroit's eastern suburbs — the Michigan Home Help Program is available to you. This Medicaid-funded program pays family members to provide in-home care for aging or disabled loved ones who have Michigan Medicaid. Macomb County is Michigan's third most populous county, and thousands of local families are already receiving this benefit.
How the Michigan Home Help Program Works in Macomb County
The Michigan Home Help Program is a statewide Medicaid benefit administered by MDHHS. Macomb County families go through the same eligibility and enrollment process as any Michigan family — the local piece is handled by the Macomb County MDHHS office in Mount Clemens. Macomb County has a large working-class population with strong family ties, making it one of the counties where the Home Help Program's family caregiver option is especially valuable.

"Home Help Navigators was founded because my own parents passed away on Medicaid without ever knowing the Home Help Program existed. They needed in-home care. No one told them their family could be paid to provide it. That's why this business exists — and why we make sure Macomb County families don't face that same outcome."
