Medicaid and Other State Benefits in Michigan If your loved one qualifies for Medicaid, they may qualify for in-home services, respite care, and may even be able to get a family member paid to help.

In most cases, to get paid by Medicaid as a family caregiver, you will work through a program called self-direction (also known as Consumer Direction, Participant Direction, or other similar names). Medicaid self-direction programs give people who need long-term care services more control over their care.
