Medicaid: Michigan residents who qualify for facility level of care may be eligible for Michigan's MI Choice Waiver and MI Health Link Medicare-Medicaid dual demonstration. The MI Choice Waiver, administered through regional waiver agencies, can cover personal care and supports usable in an HFA or AFC setting or at home, but it does not pay for HFA/AFC room and board. Not all facilities accept Medicaid — confirm directly with the provider.

How to evaluate VITAS Healthcare Southfield

Staffing and transparency are the most important signals at any licensed community. Find out the awake-overnight staffing level, caregiver turnover, and the tenure of the administrator. Ask for an itemized, all-in monthly rate for your parent's specific care level, and what triggers a move to a higher-cost care tier. Visit more than once, unannounced, and check the license and inspection record with LARA via the Adult Foster Care & Homes for the Aged licensing search.

Questions to ask on your tour

• What is the overnight caregiver-to-resident ratio?
• How long have the administrator and head caregiver been in their roles?

• What LARA license do you hold — Home for the Aged (HFA) under Public Health Code Part 213, or Adult Foster Care (AFC) under 1979 PA 218 — and do you have dementia-trained staff on every shift?
• What activities are offered seven days a week?
• How do you handle a resident fall or medical emergency at 2 a.m.?
