Care Management
MI Choice Waiver Program
The MI Choice Waiver program provides in-home services for low-income, Medicaid-eligible adults who are medically frail and whose care needs would otherwise require nursing home care. Individuals enrolled in the MI Choice Waiver program must meet the requirements for Michigan Medicaid nursing facility level of frailty as determined during a personal in-home assessment, also called a Level of Care Determination.
Eligible adults who meet the income and asset criteria can receive Medicaid-covered services like those provided in nursing homes, but they can stay in their own home, the home of a caregiver, or another residential setting, like an adult foster care, homes for the aged or assisted living facility. All MI Choice Waiver program services are provided free of charge.

Care Management
I want to stay in my own home, but sometimes I need a little help!
What is care management?
We know that older adults and individuals with disabilities want to stay at home and as independent as possible for as long as possible. Care management (CM) can help prevent or delay the premature or inappropriate admission into a nursing home through services and support that promote continued independence in your own home or that of your caregiver.
