Skip to content Many Michigan families feel overwhelmed when they look at government websites trying to figure out the Medicaid Home Help Program. The rules seem complicated, and the paperwork can be incredibly confusing.
At Deerwood Health, we believe you shouldn’t have to navigate a stressful state bureaucracy just to get paid for the care you are already providing. We have streamlined the entire setup into three simple steps. Best of all, our enrollment services are 100% free to your family—our agency is funded directly by Michigan Medicaid.
It all starts with a quick phone call or by filling out our brief online form. We will ask a few simple questions to make sure your situation fits the basic state requirements:
Once we confirm you meet the basic criteria, our local enrollment specialists take over the burden. You do not have to deal with the state alone.
The final step is a routine, friendly home assessment visit conducted by an MDHHS Adult Services worker. They will visit your loved one's home to review their physical needs and officially approve a monthly budget of care hours.
When you partner with Deerwood Health, you get the peace of mind that comes with professional backing. We act as your official employer and administrative partner so you can focus 100% on looking after your loved one.
We handle all your W-2 paperwork, withhold your federal and Michigan state taxes, and send you a clean W-2 form at the end of the year.
Government rules and reporting requirements change frequently. We monitor your files and keep everything compliant with MDHHS so your payments are never interrupted.
If you ever have a question about your hours, your paycheck, or changes in your loved one's health needs, our friendly Michigan team is always just a quick phone call away.
