Free eligibility check · No obligation · Allcare Alliance is a private Home Help agency; MDHHS makes program eligibility and authorization decisions.
QUICK ANSWER
The Adult Services process is tied to the county where the Home Help client lives. Michigan instructs families to return the DHS-390 and Medical Needs Certification to the MDHHS office in the client’s county. Allcare serves Wayne County families from our Southfield office.
Client-side Adult Services paperwork goes through the MDHHS county serving the client.
Allcare works with Detroit-area families without pretending to have a Wayne County storefront.
Michigan’s current county table lists the same statewide Home Help individual/agency rates for Wayne County.
METRO DETROIT
Local help without a fake local office
Allcare’s physical office is in Southfield. We serve Wayne County families remotely and through the Home Help process, including Detroit, Dearborn, Livonia, and nearby communities. We do not create artificial office listings in cities where we do not have a real location.
For the Home Help client, county matters because Adult Services is handled through the local MDHHS system. Michigan’s forms guidance tells applicants to return the DHS-390 and Medical Needs Certification to the office in the county where the client lives.
For the family caregiver, Allcare can explain the separate provider/onboarding track and how agency association, pay, EVV, and reporting work after the case is moving. Start with a phone call or eligibility check and we will map the next step.
