Which care tier is right for my parent in Northville?

If your parent in Northville needs companionship, errands, and meal prep but no hands-on body care, companion care ($27–$32/hr) is the right tier. The first hands-on bath, transfer, or toileting assist moves the plan to personal care ($29–$37/hr). A confirmed dementia diagnosis with behavioral symptoms moves the plan to specialized care ($35–$42/hr).

Do you have a minimum visit length in Northville?

Yes. We have a 4-hour minimum per visit and a 12-hour minimum per week, the same in Northville as everywhere else in Southeast Michigan. Short visits make it impossible to retain quality caregivers and build the trust that home care depends on.

Will Medicare or Medicare Advantage pay for this in Northville?

No. Original Medicare does not pay for non-medical home care in Northville or anywhere else. A small number of Medicare Advantage plans now offer limited supplemental in-home support benefits. Long-term care insurance is the most common third-party payment source for our clients in Northville.
