What Families Are Saying

Hear From Our Clients

Options was so quick and easy to work with. I requested service for my father while he was still in the hospital, and was set to be discharged with no plan in place for him at home. Fortunately able to pull together a care plan and find a nurse who moved in with my parents that very next week! I would recommend Options for Seniors to anyone looking for in-home care.

It’s a great relief knowing that I can take a break while my mother is in caring, confident hands with her nurses from Options. It is also comforting to know that her case manager has been available for many discussions about mom’s needs and services. Their support has enabled us to keep mom happy knowing that she is with family and us happy knowing Options has our backs!

Frequently Asked Questions

In Silver Spring, home health care provides medical treatment at home performed by licensed professionals. Services can include physical or occupational therapy, injections, and wound care. These treatments are typically short-term and ordered by a physician to address specific medical conditions.

In-home senior care emphasizes support with daily living tasks. Seniors in Silver Spring can receive help with bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, transferring, and continence to maintain their independence and dignity.

Options Home Care assists families with daily living needs including personal care, meal preparation, mobility assistance, companionship, and memory support. Care is ongoing, flexible, and tailored to keep your loved one safe in the comfort of home. We also provide hospital discharge coordination and develop personalized care plans. Our AI-enhanced tools help families stay up-to-date and engaged in their loved one’s care.

We focus on supporting the whole person, considering both medical requirements and everyday living needs to ensure complete well-being.

ADLs are basic self-care tasks required for independent living. These include:

  • Bathing
  • Dressing
  • Toileting
  • Transferring, such as moving from bed to chair
  • Eating
  • Continence

ADLs are frequently used as a standard measure for determining eligibility for benefits. Most long-term care insurance policies stipulate that assistance is needed with at least two ADLs, whereas some VA programs require support with three ADLs to approve services. If your loved one requires help, our team can evaluate their needs and provide guidance on the next steps for coverage and in-home care planning.

Live-in care is a service where one caregiver remains in the home to provide steady support both during the day and overnight. They help with daily living activities while being available whenever needed, allowing your loved one to form a meaningful relationship and feel secure with one consistent caregiver.

Twenty-four-hour care differs because multiple caregivers rotate in shifts, providing continuous support without relying on a single individual.

In addition to live-in care, hourly care is available for families who require temporary or part-time support throughout the day. This type of care can include post-hospital assistance, help with personal care, mobility, meal preparation, and companionship, ensuring that your loved one is supported safely and comfortably within their own home environment.

Seniors residing in Silver Spring can benefit from private pay, long-term care insurance, and Medicare Part C Advantage Plans to access quality in-home support that helps them remain independent and secure in their own homes.

Long-term care insurance provides coverage for assistance with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, mobility, and personal care. These policies are generally arranged well in advance and are intended to cover long-term support rather than short-term medical interventions.

In Silver Spring homes, Options Home Care assists families in navigating insurance coverage by verifying benefits, submitting claims, documenting services, and guiding reimbursement so seniors can continue to enjoy daily life at home with consistent care.

A large number of our veteran clients access care through the VA’s Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care program. This benefit, part of VA health coverage, provides non-medical assistance at home to help veterans stay independent, safe, and comfortable. Services generally include support with bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and other daily living tasks.

As an accredited VA community care provider, Options Home Care can receive payment directly from the VA to provide the approved in-home senior care services.

To qualify, veterans must:

  • Be enrolled in VA health benefits
  • Undergo an assessment by a VA physician to determine care requirements
  • Obtain approval for in-home senior care services
  • Be assigned a VA social worker to coordinate care with Options Home Care

Once eligibility is confirmed, we collaborate with the VA and the assigned social worker to deliver consistent, personalized care tailored to each veteran’s needs. We can also guide families step by step through the application process.

Additionally, some veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for extra support through programs such as VA Aid and Attendance, which can help cover costs for non-medical care depending on military service history, discharge status, care needs, and financial qualifications.

Often, care can be arranged to begin within 24 to 48 hours. When an urgent situation arises, such as a recent hospitalization or unexpected shift in health, we respond quickly to assess the needs and coordinate the right level of in-home support.

In-home care addresses both the needs of your loved one and your family’s emotional well-being. Caregivers provide companionship, consistent routines, and attentive support, which can relieve stress and allow family members to participate without feeling the full weight of caregiving responsibilities.

Each care plan is carefully structured around your loved one’s daily habits, needs, and comfort preferences. It includes practical help with essential tasks while delivering care in a compassionate, respectful manner that preserves independence and encourages a positive daily experience.

High-quality care at home helps your loved one maintain daily independence while remaining in the comfort of their own home. Professional caregivers assist with essential tasks like mobility, medication reminders, meal preparation, personal care, and companionship. This comprehensive support ensures that daily routines run smoothly, reduces the risk of accidents, and enhances the overall safety and quality of life at home.
