In-Home Care: what you're actually buying

In-home care brings a caregiver to the house for companionship, personal care, and help with daily tasks, on a schedule that flexes from a few hours a week to live-in.

Home care agencies operate under Michigan licensing and registration rules, and for eligible seniors, personal care can be covered through Michigan's MI Choice Waiver. A typical monthly range is $28 to $36 an hour.

When you visit, look past the lobby and check these:

  • whether caregivers are employees (bonded and insured) or contractors
  • how the agency handles a missed shift or a caregiver mismatch
  • whether they accept the MI Choice Waiver or long-term-care insurance
