At Options Home Care, we’re proud to serve those who served us—providing compassionate, personalized senior care services for veterans across multiple states.
Our experienced team, including a dedicated VA support unit, helps veterans and their families understand their benefits and navigate the application process with ease—ensuring timely access to the in-home care they deserve.
Temporary in-home support for eligible Veterans so family caregivers can rest, attend appointments, run errands, or simply take time for themselves while knowing their loved one is receiving compassionate care at home.
In-home support for eligible Veterans who need help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, mobility, meal preparation, and other day-to-day tasks so they can continue living safely and comfortably at home.
Many of our veteran clients receive care through the VA’s Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care program. This program is part of VA health benefits and provides non-medical assistance in the home to help Veterans remain safe and independent. Services typically include help with bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and other daily activities.
As an accredited VA community care provider, Options Home Care can be paid directly by the VA to provide approved home care services.
To qualify for in-home VA health care benefits, Veterans must:
Once approved, we work closely with the VA and the assigned social worker to deliver consistent, personalized care at home. We can also help you through the application process.
At Options Home Care, every caregiver completes a screening process before working with families. Many of our caregivers have experience assisting Veterans with homemaker and home health support, helping families throughout Gaithersburg feel more confident about the care their loved one receives.
Yes. We encourage families in Gaithersburg to meet the caregiver before care starts so everyone feels more comfortable moving forward.

Yes. We help Veterans safely transition home after a hospital stay, rehabilitation program, or surgery. This can include skilled home care, assistance with daily routines, and communication with providers, including your local VA medical center, throughout the recovery process.
Many families are not sure where to begin. We take time to learn about your loved one’s health concerns, daily routine, and level of independence before recommending care options. Depending on the situation, this could include in-home care, respite care, or home health aide services.

At Options Home Care in Gaithersburg, we accept private pay, long-term care insurance, and Medicare Part C Advantage Plans for at-home care.
Long-term care insurance is a private policy purchased years before care is needed, often in your 40s or 50s. It helps cover extended support with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and mobility due to aging, illness, or disability. Unlike health insurance, it is designed specifically to pay for ongoing custodial care at home, in assisted living, or in a skilled nursing setting.
If you have long-term care insurance, benefits begin once you meet eligibility requirements, which typically include needing help with two or more activities of daily living or having a cognitive impairment. Our team works directly with all long-term care insurance companies to verify your coverage, initiate your claim, document services, and guide you through the reimbursement process so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
Activities of Daily Living, which are often called ADLs, are basic self-care tasks that a person must be able to perform to live independently. These typically include:
ADLs matter because many benefits programs use them to determine eligibility. Most long-term care insurance policies require that a person need assistance with at least two ADLs before benefits begin. Certain Veterans’ programs require assistance with three ADLs to qualify for home care services.
If your loved one is struggling with these daily tasks, we can help assess their needs and guide you through the next steps for coverage and care planning.
Some surviving spouses of Veterans in the Gaithersburg area might qualify for professional home care services through certain VA home care programs and community-based services. Eligibility can depend on care needs, VA requirements, and whether the Veteran had a service-connected disability status. These programs can help individuals remain safely in their own homes while receiving added daily support.
