MI Choice Waiver Program (MI Choice)
Administered by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, delivered through regional waiver agencies - for Detroit, the five Grosse Pointes, Hamtramck, Harper Woods and Highland Park, that agency is the Detroit Area Agency on Aging.
Dementia-specific eligibility
MI Choice is for people aged 65 and over, or adults 18 and over with a disability, who have multiple medical and service needs and who need the programme to avoid moving into a nursing home. A care manager coordinates the services once someone is enrolled. The cited page does not describe any dementia-specific eligibility route, so ask the office that administers the programme how a dementia diagnosis is weighed in that assessment.
Asset limits: Not reliably published: the cited agency page states the asset limit in monthly terms and gives figures that contradict its own income limit, so no number here can be trusted. Confirm the current limit with the Detroit Area Agency on Aging. for a single applicant, Not reliably published on the cited page; confirm with the agency that administers the programme locally. for a couple.
What makes MI different: MI Choice is delivered by the regional Area Agency on Aging rather than a single statewide office, so which agency a family deals with depends on their address - and Detroit itself is served by a different agency from most of the surrounding metro counties.
How to apply: Contact the regional waiver agency for where the person lives - the Detroit Area Agency on Aging covers Detroit, the five Grosse Pointes, Hamtramck, Harper Woods and Highland Park. The agency screens for eligibility and assigns a care manager who builds and coordinates the service package. MDHHS makes the financial eligibility decision separately, so expect correspondence from them as well as from the agency.
