MI Choice Waiver
MI Choice Waiver is a long-term care program offered to older adults and adults living with a disability who medically require and financially qualify to receive a higher level of care. Through MI Choice, adults receive Medicaid-covered care services in the home. Services are coordinated by a Registered Nurse and Licensed Social Worker through Senior Resources and our network of over 100 contracted providers.
“Thank you for everything. I couldn’t have gotten through these last years, and especially the last six months without you and the rest of the team. I will forever remember your kindness.”
– Daughter of MI Choice Waiver participant
