Home Help in Roseville, Michigan

How Home Help works in Roseville

The Home Help Program works the same way across all of Macomb County — Roseville residents apply through the same county MDHHS office, go through the same MDHHS-5534 home assessment, and are paid $17.13/hr if self-directed — or up to $23/hr through one of our licensed agency partners — once approved and enrolled in CHAMPS. What differs city to city isn't the program rules, it's the local context families are navigating around it.

Eligibility and next steps

If you're in Roseville and think a parent, grandparent, or other loved one might qualify, the fastest way to find out is our full eligibility checklist, which covers the 2026 asset limits and the functional ADL test MDHHS uses. If you're specifically wondering whether you personally could become the paid caregiver, our self-direction guide covers exactly who can and can't be paid.

Family caregiver or agency?

Both paths are available to Roseville families. A self-directed family caregiver is paid $17.13/hr directly and keeps care inside the family; a licensed provider agency handles hiring, payroll, and backup coverage, and can pay the caregiver up to $23/hr. Our family vs. agency comparison breaks down the trade-offs plainly.
