Complete the Requirements
We help you understand the required Home Help application steps and coordinate the necessary documentation and medical information for the process.

MDHHS Assessment
MDHHS reviews the application, assesses the individual's needs, and determines eligibility and the services and hours that may be authorized.
-
Begin Your Care
Once authorization and required agency and caregiver enrollment steps are complete, care can begin under the approved arrangement.
Eligibility, covered services, and authorized hours are determined solely by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS). Next Step Home Assistance LLC is an independent provider.
Who Decides Whether I Qualify
MDHHS determines eligibility, authorized services, and the amount of assistance. Next Step can help explain the process and required steps but does not make the eligibility decision.
Do I need Medicaid?
Home Help is a Medicaid funded program. A person must have qualifying Michigan Medicaid coverage and meet the program's other requirements. Medicare alone is not the same as Medicaid Home Help coverage.
-
Does the person have Michigan Medicaid?
-
Do they live at home?
-
Do they need hands on help with everyday activities?
These are screening questions only. MDHHS makes the final determination.
You May Be Able to Get Support for the Care You Provide
If you are already helping a parent, adult child, relative, friend, or loved one with everyday needs at home, Michigan's Home Help program may provide an option for authorized care through a qualified caregiver.
Some family members, friends, and other trusted adults may be able to provide care when program rules and caregiver requirements are met. Eligibility and authorized services are determined by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS).
