ADLs are basic self-care tasks required for independent living. These include:
Activities of Daily Living are a standard measure used to determine eligibility for both insurance and veterans’ programs. Many insurance policies require that a person needs help with at least two ADLs, and certain veteran programs require support with three ADLs before benefits are granted. If your loved one requires assistance with daily tasks, we can provide an assessment and help you navigate the next steps to secure the appropriate benefits and in-home support.
Live-in care provides one consistent caregiver who resides in the home and offers support throughout the day and overnight. This caregiver assists with all aspects of daily life while being available during nighttime hours, fostering a strong bond and reliable care relationship with your loved one.
Twenty-four-hour care operates differently because multiple caregivers rotate shifts, offering continuous supervision and assistance rather than one caregiver providing all support.
In addition to live-in care, hourly care is available for families needing more flexible support. This can include post-hospital assistance, help with daily routines such as mobility support, personal care, meal preparation, and companionship, ensuring your loved one remains safe, supported, and comfortable within their own home environment.
Seniors in Germantown can utilize private pay, long-term care insurance, and Medicare Part C Advantage Plans to access care that helps them remain independent, safe, and comfortable in their own homes.

Many of the veterans we serve receive assistance through the VA’s Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care program.

Options Home Care is a VA-accredited community care provider and can be reimbursed directly by the VA for approved in-home senior care services.
To qualify, veterans must:
After approval, our team collaborates closely with both the VA and the assigned social worker to provide consistent, individualized care at home. We also assist with navigating the application process and understanding eligibility.
Some veterans and surviving spouses may also qualify for additional programs, including VA Aid and Attendance, which can help cover the costs of non-medical in-home care based on service history, discharge status, level of care needed, and financial guidelines.
Many times, care services can be started within 24 to 48 hours. If your loved one requires assistance following a hospital stay or experiences an abrupt shift in health or daily functioning, we respond quickly to evaluate their needs and coordinate a suitable care plan.
