MI Choice Medicaid Waiver (MI Choice) is a long-term care program. The program is available to certified disabled individuals (age 18 to 64) or individuals 65 years and over, who meet the eligibility requirements for nursing facility placement and are able to meet income and asset guidelines for Medicaid. MI Choice is available to those who live in their own home, the home of a loved one or in some licensed assisted living settings. A licensed Social Worker and Registered Nurse develop a plan for in-home care that is centered on an individual’s needs.

What is PACE?
Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly
Does your loved one need nursing home level of care and want to remain safely in their own home?
PACE is a federal- and state-funded program throughout the country. The PACE model is centered on the belief that it is better for you and your family to be served in your own community whenever possible.
PACE uses Medicare and Medicaid funds to cover all of your medically necessary care and services. You can also pay for PACE privately if you don’t have Medicare or Medicaid.
PACE embraces your physical, mental, and social health in a “one-stop shopping” model with you at the center. Care is delivered at a full-service Primary Care Clinic, adult Day Center, and through a network of community providers.
