A paid caregiver may be a qualified adult chosen by the person receiving care.
This may include certain family members, relatives, friends, neighbors, or another
trusted person. The caregiver still needs to meet program requirements, complete
required steps, and be approved through the proper process.

In many situations, certain family members may be considered as caregivers if they
meet the requirements and are selected by the participant. The relationship,
program rules, required documents, and approval process all matter.
Depending on the situation, possible caregivers may include adult children,
grandchildren, siblings, grandparents, other relatives, friends, neighbors,
or another trusted person selected by the person receiving care.
A spouse caring for their husband or wife is generally not eligible for payment

situation, Michigan Family Caregiver LLC can help explain common rules and next steps.
Parents caring for their own minor child are generally not eligible for payment
under the Home Help Program. Program rules may vary by situation, so families
should ask for guidance before making assumptions.
CHAMPS is part of Michigan’s provider enrollment process. A caregiver may need
to complete CHAMPS enrollment before becoming approved for certain care-related
services. Michigan Family Caregiver LLC can help families understand the enrollment
steps and what information may be needed.
Yes. We can help caregivers understand CHAMPS provider enrollment, prepare
required information, and move through the process with clearer guidance.
The Michigan Home Help Program may support eligible individuals who need help
with daily living activities while staying in their own home. The program can
involve care needs, caregiver selection, required documentation, and approval steps.
The person receiving care generally selects and approves the caregiver. The caregiver
must still meet requirements, complete necessary forms, and follow program guidelines.
Documents may include identification, work authorization details, Social Security
Number or Tax ID information, CHAMPS enrollment details, background screening items,
program forms, and other supporting paperwork depending on the situation.
Caregivers may need to maintain accurate timesheets, service notes, and required
documentation. Keeping records organized is important for program compliance and
ongoing support.
Reliable transportation may be necessary depending on the care situation, service
expectations, appointment needs, and communication requirements. The exact need
can vary by participant and care plan.
Caregivers may be required to pass background screening and verification checks.
This helps protect the person receiving care and ensures program requirements are met.
We can help with caregiver eligibility screening, CHAMPS enrollment assistance,
Home Help application guidance, required paperwork support, ongoing caregiver support,
and Medicaid Home Help Program navigation.

assistance, transfer support, reminders, companionship, and other daily living needs
based on the person’s situation and approved care plan.
A trusted friend, neighbor, or chosen person may be considered if the participant
selects them and the caregiver meets program requirements. Approval still depends
on the required process.

and care-related questions ready. If you are unsure what documents are needed,
our team can help you understand what to prepare.
