Many families are surprised to learn that home health care and home care are not the same thing. Home health care consists of clinical services provided by licensed health care professionals. These services can include wound care, rehab therapy, injections, and other doctor-ordered medically necessary care.
Home care is designed to help people perform activities that make daily living possible. Support can include help with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, mobility, toileting and other personal care needs that become more difficult as we age or face health challenges.

Effective care is care that supports the whole person, not just a medical condition.
ADLs are the basic personal care activities a person needs to be able to do to live safely and independently at home. These daily tasks are often:
Insurance companies and assistance programs often use ADLs to determine your care needs, so it’s important to understand them. Many long-term care policies won’t activate until a person needs help with at least two ADLs. Some veteran programs may require you to need help with three or more ADLs in order to qualify for help. If you have a loved one who is struggling with these tasks, we can help you assess their needs and talk about possible next steps for care planning.
Live in Care in Baton Rouge, LA Live in care is when one caregiver lives in the home and provides continuous support throughout the day, being on hand during the overnight hours, if help is necessary. Typical services include personal care, meal prep, transportation, light housekeeping, mobility assistance, medication reminders, errands and companionship that keeps seniors comfortable and active.
24/7 care is a different model. Several caregivers rotate through scheduled shifts so there is always an awake caregiver available, day and night.
Options Home Care is a live-in care company that takes a relationship approach. Seniors are supported by the same professional who learns their preferences, routines, and specific needs rather than constant caregiver changes. We also assist with daily activities, meal preparation, companionship and discharge planning for people going home from hospital.
For many families, live-in care is a practical solution that provides continuity, personal connection and daily support in the comfort of familiar surroundings.
Options Home Care assists families who are utilizing private pay, long term care insurance and qualifying Medicare Part C Advantage Plans to help offset the cost of care.
Long-term care insurance helps cover the cost of help with daily tasks that a person might need for a long time because of aging, health, or disability. These policies are meant to pay for long-term personal care and supportive services, not the medical treatment that is part of standard health insurance plans.
Eligibility for benefits is based on the terms of the policy and often requires proof of the need for assistance with Activities of Daily Living or proof of cognitive impairment. We help families understand their benefits, talk to insurance companies, complete paperwork and navigate the claim process so they can focus on caring for their loved one.
