What we help with
Compassionate care, in the house they know by heart.
Home Help covers hands-on help with the ordinary business of a day — getting washed, getting dressed, getting fed, getting safely across the room. Most Michigan families qualify at no cost. Eligibility starts with needing help with at least one of these.
- Bathing
- Grooming
- Dressing
- Toileting
- Transferring
- Mobility
- Eating
- Medication reminders
- Meal preparation
- Light housekeeping
- Laundry
- Shopping & errands
Meals & nutrition
Shopping, cooking and feeding support that respects the food your family actually eats.
Mobility & fall prevention
Safe transfers, walker and wheelchair support, and a home set up to reduce falls.
Medication reminders
Organizers filled, doses tracked, refills flagged before the bottle runs empty.
Housekeeping & laundry
Light cleaning, linens and laundry so the house stays a place worth staying in.
Companionship
Conversation, games, appointments and errands — in English, Arabic or Chaldean.
Not sure whether what you already do counts? Ask us — it usually does.

Two sides to every Home Help case: the person receiving care, and the person giving it. Here is what the state looks for in each.
A
Qualify for care
- Enrolled in active Michigan Medicaid
- Lives in Michigan as a permanent resident
- Needs hands-on help with at least one daily activity
- A physician can certify the medical need
Medicare on its own does not qualify a household for the Home Help program.
B
Become a paid caregiver
- An adult child, grandchild, sibling or other relative
- A friend, neighbor or trusted member of the community
- A parent caring for a child under 18 with qualifying needs
- Anyone 18 or older the beneficiary chooses and trusts
- A spouse cannot be the paid caregiver for their husband or wife
You must be at least 18. No prior healthcare experience is required — we train you.
Final requirements are set by the State of Michigan and can change. We will tell you honestly if you do not qualify.
Check your Medicaid
Is your Medicaid active, and which plan are you on?
Home Help is a Michigan Medicaid benefit, so everything starts with active coverage. Look up your case in seconds — the check confirms whether your Medicaid is active and shows the health plan you are enrolled in.
Check my Medicaid statusThe lookup opens in a new tab on healthcare4mi.com and is not operated by Viora Home Care. We never see what you enter there — bring the result back to us and we will take it from there.
Have these ready
- Your Medicaid ID number
- Your date of birth
- Your first and last name
No Medicaid yet, or not sure the coverage is still active? Call us and we will point you to the right MDHHS application before you go any further.
Get paid to care
Family and friend caregivers in Michigan.
You are already the one who shows up. The Home Help Program lets that become a real, paid role — with flexible schedules, competitive rates, training and a coordinator who knows your name.
Flexible schedules
Mornings only, weekends, a few hours around your other job — hours are built around the care your loved one actually needs and the life you actually have.
Competitive rates
Paid through Michigan Medicaid at no cost to the family. Your coordinator walks you through the rate for your authorized hours before you sign anything.
English, Arabic, Chaldean
Our coordinators and trainers speak all three, so intake, training and every follow-up call happens in the language your household speaks at home.
Already caring for someone?
Bring us the hours you are already giving. Most families we enroll were doing this unpaid for years before someone told them the program existed.
How it works
From the first phone call to the first paycheck.
Most families finish in 30 to 45 days. The variable is MDHHS scheduling, not paperwork — which is why we chase it weekly.
01
Free eligibility call
About ten minutes on the phone. We ask what help your loved one needs day to day and confirm their Medicaid status before anything is signed.
02
Paperwork, done together
We walk you line by line through the DHS-390 application and the MDHHS-6200 medical needs certification, then submit the packet on your behalf.
03
State review & approval
MDHHS assigns a caseworker and schedules the in-home assessment. We follow up every week so your file never sits idle in a queue.
04
Training, then your first paycheck
You complete the Medicaid-required caregiver training in our portal, get your certificate, and go on payroll for the care you were already giving.
We fill the forms out with you, not for you to guess at.
The DHS-390, the MDHHS-6200 medical certification, the MSA-4676 services agreement and the DCH-4771 FICA exemption. Every one of them lives in your client portal, with a status next to it, so you always know whose desk your file is sitting on.
Why families choose Viora
Guided by family. Grounded in Michigan.
Letting someone into your home to help your mother bathe is not a transaction. It asks for trust. Everything about how Viora works is built to earn it.
01
Michigan Home Help specialists
We work inside one program, in one state. We know which MDHHS office is slow this month and how to keep a packet moving.
02
No experience required
Our Medicaid-required training is built into the caregiver portal. Work through one short course, answer a quick check on each topic, sign online and download your certificate.
03
Your language, your household
Our coordinators speak English, Arabic and Chaldean, so the intake call happens in the language your family thinks in.
04
One person who knows your file
You get a named coordinator in Michigan with a direct line — not a ticket number and a hold queue.
Common questions
Everything families ask before they call.
Still unsure? Call or text 248-602-2271 and ask a person.
Home Help is a Michigan Medicaid program run by MDHHS. It pays a caregiver of the beneficiary's choosing — very often a family member or friend — to provide hands-on help with activities of daily living so the person can keep living at home instead of in a facility.
