Frequently Asked Questions
The Home Help program is run by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS). It provides personal care services to people who need hands-on help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and eating, as well as home activities like cooking and cleaning.
Caregivers in Michigan are paid by the state through Medicaid. This means the person who receives care does not pay the caregiver. The current starting pay at BURD Home Health is $16.00 per hour, and all caregivers must be eligible to work in the United States.
Caregivers do not need special certifications, but they must enroll in the MDHHS CHAMPS Provider Enrollment system to receive Medicaid payments. BURD Home Health can help you with this process and make sure caregivers meet all requirements.
No. Medicare alone does not meet the state’s requirements for this program. You must have Medicaid and meet other state rules to qualify. If you have questions about your coverage, our team can help you review your options.
Medicare is a federal program for people who are 65 or older or have certain disabilities. Medicaid is for people with low incomes and is run by both the state and federal government, so rules can vary by state.
We offer services in more than 200 languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Hebrew, Hindi, French, Korean, Japanese, and Italian. To speak with an interpreter, call 833‑447‑4409.
