Trusted Home & Community-Based Services
Tri-County Office on Aging offers in-home and community care options through MI Choice, the Care Management program, and Case Coordination. Coordinating and providing key services, while respecting each individual’s right to choose their own options, will support participants’ desire to remain at home or live in the setting of their choice. All programs will:
- Assess participant health status
- Assess participant social needs
- Link participants with services and programs
- Seek ways to support and assist caregivers
- Monitor service quality
- Respect the rights of participants to be involved in their plan of care
Please Note: All programs may have a waitlist. This is an area of high need, and the length of the wait depends upon the number of people waiting to enroll and the amount of available government funding.
