Paid Family Caregiver Program

- Agency Employment: Approved relatives undergo background checks and are hired onto Cedarline’s payroll.
- Professional Backing: Cedarline provides professional administration, EVV logging, and CNA guidance.
- Name Cedarline: Be sure to explicitly tell your MDHHS caseworker, “We choose Cedarline Home Care as our provider.”
Program Application Disclaimer: Cedarline Home Care provides dedicated guidance, paperwork navigation, and support to help families apply for the Michigan Medicaid Home Help Program. However, Cedarline does not make approval decisions. Program eligibility, medical necessity, and authorized weekly service hours are determined entirely by MDHHS state caseworkers.
