大切な方のケアを提供することは、人が引き受けることのできる最も重要な責任の1つです。Michiganでは、多くのご家族がこの重要なサポートに対して報酬を受け取れることを知りません。Michigan Department of Health and Human Services(MDHHS)が管理するMichigan Home Help Programにより、Michigan住民は信頼する人から自宅で支援を受けることができます。

ただし、有償介護者になるには、州が定めた一定の要件を満たす必要があります。Family Love Careでは、Michigan Home Help介護者の要件をナビゲートし、大切な方の健康に集中できるようチーム一丸でサポートします。

Michigan Home Help Programは、障がいや加齢により日常活動に支援が必要な方のためのMedicaid資金プログラムです。このプログラムは、介護施設ではなく慣れ親しんだ環境でケアを受けることで自立を促進することを目的としています。Michigan Medicaidを通じて資金が提供されるため、厳格な資格基準が設けられています。Family Love Careでは、申請プロセスを開始する前に資格を満たしているかどうかの判断をお手伝いします。

Enrollment in the CHAMPS System

CHAMPS (Community Health Automated Medicaid Processing System) is Michigan’s required portal for Medicaid providers. The system can be difficult to navigate, and errors can delay approval and payment.

Important:

Caregivers must create their own provider profile in CHAMPS. This process is not simply tied to the person receiving care and must be done correctly.

Family Love Care manages the entire CHAMPS registration from start to finish, including revalidation (typically every 5 years) to prevent payment lapses.

Medicare vs. Michigan Medicaid

Medicare Does Not Fund the Home Help Program

To qualify, the person receiving services must be enrolled in Michigan Medicaid. If your loved one only has Medicare, they will not be eligible for paid family caregivers through this program.
