Caring for a senior loved one is an incredibly rewarding experience. Yet, it often comes with its own set of challenges. As the demand for quality care increases, many families are seeking ways to provide the best possible support while also managing their financial responsibilities. At Health Care At Home, we are dedicated to helping families in Huron, Tuscola, and Sanilac Counties navigate the process of getting paid for caregiving through Medicaid waiver programs. By partnering with local agencies like A&D Waiver and Region VII Area Agency on Aging, we provide a pathway to ensure your loved ones receive the care they deserve while you receive financial support for your efforts.
