Home health care is skilled medical care that is provided at home. After you are sick, injured or have a medical procedure, licensed nurses and therapists may come to your home to provide services such as physical therapy, wound care, injections, medication management or rehabilitation. These services are usually prescribed by a physician and are for short-term recovery.
Home care assists people to live safely and comfortably in their own homes by providing support with everyday tasks. This can include assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, food preparation, mobility, toileting, companionship and other important daily activities which foster independence.
One-on-one care with experienced caregivers, our live-in care in California allows seniors to stay in the comfort of their own homes. Each care plan is individualized to the needs of each client and can be adjusted as needs change over time.
Options Home Care designs personalized care plans, assists families in moving home from hospital or rehabilitation stays, and provides personal care, respite care and live-in care services. We also use current technology to keep families updated and engaged in the care of their loved one.
We endeavor to care for the whole person, addressing their physical, emotional and daily needs, to help them attain the highest possible quality of life at home.
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) are the fundamental self-care activities that enable a person to function independently and live safely on a daily basis. These essential activities typically involve:
An individual’s ability to perform these activities is often used to determine eligibility for long term care services and related benefits. Most long-term care insurance policies require help with at least two ADLs before they pay benefits, although some veterans’ programs may require help with three. If you see your loved one beginning to struggle with these activities of daily living, our team can assess their needs and talk about care options available to help your family begin planning.
Live-In Care in California offers seniors personalized assistance and the ability to remain in the comfort of their own homes. A live-in caregiver is present in the home, offering daytime assistance and remaining available at night should assistance be required. Services can include personal hygiene, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, transportation, mobility assistance, errands and meaningful companionship.
24-hour care is not live-in care. It uses multiple caregivers working scheduled shifts to ensure continuous supervision around the clock.
At Options Home Care, we believe that familiar faces and consistent care create better relationships. Our caregivers learn each client’s preferences, routines and individual needs so they can provide more personalized support. We offer personal care, companionship, meal planning, mobility assistance and discharge planning for those returning home from a hospital stay.
For families who want a trusted caregiver providing dedicated one-on-one support in a familiar setting, live-in care provides the comfort of staying at home.
Options Home Care makes it easier for families who pay privately, have long-term care insurance, or have Medicare Part C Advantage Plans to access the home care services their loved ones need.
Long-term care insurance is meant to cover the cost of long-term assistance with daily activities. Many buy this type of coverage long before they retire in order to plan for future care needs that may arise from aging, chronic medical conditions, injuries or disabilities. These policies are different from traditional health insurance, in that they are designed to help pay for ongoing supportive care to help promote independence and improve quality of life.
Benefits can be used to help pay for care received at home, in assisted living communities, or in skilled nursing facilities after policy requirements are met. Eligibility is generally based on the need for help with two or more Activities of Daily Living or a qualifying cognitive impairment. Our team contacts insurance providers directly to confirm coverage, submit claims, keep the necessary documentation and assist families through the reimbursement process.
For veterans and their families who need a little extra help at home, the VA’s Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care Program can be a lifeline. This non-medical benefit assists with bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, housekeeping and other activities of daily living to help veterans maintain their independence.
Options Home Care is a VA Community Care provider authorized to provide home care services to eligible veterans through VA benefit programs.
In most cases, veterans must meet several requirements to receive these services, including:
After services are approved, we collaborate with the VA and care coordinators to develop a tailored care plan that addresses each veteran’s unique needs. Our team also helps families understand the application process and home care services that may be available.
Some veterans and surviving spouses may also be eligible for additional help through programs such as VA Aid and Attendance, which may help pay for eligible non-medical home care services.
