Payment Options: In Michigan, Medicaid may help pay for assisted living through the MI Choice Waiver. Eligibility is based on both financial and functional criteria. Contact Michigan Department of Health and Human Services or visit https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/assistance-programs/medicaid/long-term-care to learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
