Homemaker Services from Trinity Home Assistance
Homemaker services cover the running of the household rather than the care of the person: cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, and errands. The term is used specifically in Medicaid and waiver programs, where it names a distinct, separately authorized benefit.

How It Works Here
- Caregivers complete only the specific homemaker tasks authorized in the member's MDHHS assessment and approved care plan
- Authorized tasks may include meal preparation and cleanup, laundry, light housework, shopping for essential items, medication setup or administration, and approved travel time connected with shopping or laundry
- Light housework covers routine tasks supporting the member's immediate living environment—dishes, basic surface cleaning, light sweeping, laundry, care of essential spaces—but excludes heavy housework, home repairs, and yard work
- Members remain involved in choices about meals, grocery lists, clothing preferences, and household routines whenever possible
- Caregivers may be family members, friends, neighbors, or agency staff; family members, friends, and neighbors can enroll as paid caregivers after meeting Michigan Home Help enrollment and screening requirements
- Services are tailored to the member's functional needs as determined by an MDHHS adult services worker's in-home assessment
What Stands Out About Trinity Home Assistance
- Explicitly clarifies that Trinity does not determine eligibility, authorize tasks, or decide Medicaid funding amounts—MDHHS does
- Offers guidance on how family members or neighbors can become enrolled, paid caregivers for eligible members
- Provides private-pay homemaker services for families who do not qualify for Medicaid, want services beyond authorized hours, or prefer direct arrangement
- Accepts MI Coordinated Health HIDE D-SNP members who have both Medicare and Medicaid

Read the Homemaker Services guide →Frequently Asked Questions
Can a family member be paid to provide homemaker services?
Yes. A family member, friend, or neighbor may become an approved, paid caregiver for an eligible Medicaid Home Help member after meeting Michigan Home Help enrollment and screening requirements. Spouses and parents of minor children generally cannot be paid.
What if I need more homemaker help than Medicaid authorizes?
Trinity Home Assistance accepts private-pay homemaker clients. Private pay may provide greater flexibility for families who need additional meal preparation, laundry, light housekeeping, household assistance, or more caregiver time than a benefit authorizes.
Does Trinity decide which homemaker tasks are covered?
No. Trinity provides only the services approved in the member's Home Help plan. An MDHHS adult services worker completes an in-home assessment and develops the plan based on the member's functional needs. Trinity does not determine eligibility, authorize tasks, or decide how much Medicaid-funded care a member receives.
