Care Management
The Care Management program provides a connection to an array of home and community-based services to assist older adults to live in the community setting of their choice. Services may include personal care, homemaking, and relief for caregivers. Supports Coordinators help discuss all available options.
Eligibility requirements:
- 60 years of age and older
- Medically complex or in need of services
- No income eligibility requirements for most services
How Much Will This Cost?
Many services are covered by federal, state and local funding. Care Management is in part funded by the Bureau of Aging, Community Living, and Supports (ACLS Bureau) and the MI Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS). Any services offered that could have a cost will be clearly explained and will not be arranged without approval.
How Do I Contact TCOA About Care Management?
Call the Tri-County Office on Aging and let them know you are interested in Care Management. The Intake Specialist, as part of an initial screening, will ask several questions about your, (or the person for whom you are calling) health and ability to do everyday tasks. The screen will determine your eligibility for an assessment.
If you are eligible for an assessment, you will either be referred to the scheduler or placed on a waiting list if the program is at capacity. To see if you, a family member, or a friend qualifies, please call 517-887-1440 or Toll free 1-800-405-9141.
