ADLs are basic self-care tasks required for independent living. These include:
ADLs are commonly used to determine who qualifies for different benefits programs. Most long-term care insurance plans require help with a minimum of two ADLs, while some programs for veterans require assistance with three ADLs to approve benefits. If your loved one requires support with their daily routines, we can perform a detailed assessment and guide you through the next steps to access coverage and plan in-home care.
Live-in care allows a single caregiver to stay in the home and provide consistent support both day and night. This caregiver assists with daily tasks while remaining available for overnight needs. The continuity of having one caregiver promotes a strong relationship and a sense of security for your loved one.
Twenty-four-hour care differs from live-in care because it uses multiple caregivers who rotate in shifts to provide continuous coverage throughout the day and night.
In addition to live-in care, hourly care is available for families needing support during certain parts of the day. Hourly care can include post-hospital assistance, help with daily living tasks such as meal preparation, mobility support, personal care, and companionship, ensuring your loved one continues to feel safe and well cared for at home.
Seniors in Bethesda can access private pay, long-term care insurance, and Medicare Part C Advantage Plans to receive personalized in-home support that allows them to remain in their own home with dignity, independence, and safety.
Long-term care insurance provides coverage for ongoing assistance with daily living activities, including bathing, dressing, mobility, and other personal care tasks. Policies are generally purchased years before they are needed and are designed for continuous support rather than short-term medical treatment.
For Bethesda seniors, Options Home Care helps families verify insurance benefits, submit claims, document the services provided, and guide reimbursement so that seniors can enjoy daily life at home without interruption while their care is managed smoothly.

Veterans must meet certain requirements to qualify:
Once approved, we partner with the VA and social worker to deliver consistent, personalized in-home care. Our team can also guide veterans and their families through the application and approval process.
Some veterans and surviving spouses may also be eligible for other support programs, including VA Aid and Attendance, which can help offset the cost of non-medical care depending on military service history, discharge status, individual care needs, and financial circumstances.
Care can frequently begin within 24 to 48 hours depending on the situation. In cases such as post-hospital recovery or sudden health changes, we prioritize a rapid assessment and implement a personalized care plan so support is provided without delay.
