About Us
Northern Health Care Management is proud to be a part of Michigan’s statewide effort to provide comprehensive services for persons who are nursing home eligible and choose to receive care at home. This program is commonly referred to as the Waiver Program or MI Choice.
A person centered plan will be developed based on the choices and active involvement of the individual wishing to move from the nursing facility or who wish to remain in their community.
Through the assistance of our Supports Coordinators’ assessment of the individual’s needs, we establish and maintain and most often arrange payment for in-home care.
