When caring for someone you love starts to feel overwhelming, Options Home Care steps in with steady support. We provide respite care for family members who need time to rest and recharge, ongoing in-home support for seniors who need help with daily routines, and attentive care during the first 72 hours after hospital discharge when medication mistakes and readmission risks are highest. Whether you need a few hours each week or full 24-hour coverage, we connect you with compassionate caregivers who treat your family like their own.
Specialized support for Alzheimer’s and dementia—focused on safety, dignity, and quality of life.
As a long-term care pharmacist, I spent years supporting seniors in skilled nursing and assisted living facilities—ensuring safe medication practices and coordinating with care teams behind the scenes. While I loved the clinical side of medicine and continue to apply that expertise today, I felt a growing need to work more directly with families and the individuals receiving care. Home care gave me that opportunity.
What drew me to this work was the ability to have an immediate impact—to see firsthand how the right support can improve someone’s quality of life and bring peace of mind to loved ones. It’s personal.
That is why it is our mission to provide dependable, personalized care that improves lives and brings peace of mind. Whether it’s through our own caregivers or by connecting you with the right resource elsewhere, we’re committed to doing what’s best for the families we serve. You can expect a hands-on team that communicates clearly, responds quickly, and always goes the extra mile.
Working with the Greensboro office is straightforward. Your local care coordinator stays involved throughout care—after a quick intake call, we complete the RN assessment, arrange a brief meet-and-greet, and start services.
Service area includes:
Plus Summerfield, Pleasant Garden, Oak Ridge, and everywhere in between.
Serving all of Greensboro, including Irving Park, Fisher Park, Lindley Park, Starmount, Hamilton Lakes, Sunset Hills, and surrounding neighborhoods.
We accept private pay and long-term care insurance. If your loved one has long-term care coverage, our team can work directly with the insurance provider and help manage the benefit process on your behalf. That way, your family does not have to handle the paperwork or claims on their own.
Yes. We participate in the VA Home Health Aide program for eligible veterans. If your loved one qualifies for VA benefits, we coordinate with the VA to provide in-home support through approved services, including companion care when appropriate. Our team can also guide you through the process and answer questions about eligibility and next steps.
Often the same day. We know the first 72 hours after discharge are critical, so we prioritize hospital-to-home transitions. Call us as soon as you know a discharge date, and we’ll work to have a caregiver ready.
That’s exactly what respite care is for. Whether you need a few hours to yourself, a weekend away, or regular weekly breaks, we can provide coverage and a customized care plan so you can recharge without worrying.
We provide compassionate care throughout all of Greensboro and Guilford County, including Irving Park, Fisher Park, Lindley Park, Starmount, Hamilton Lakes, Sunset Hills, and surrounding areas.
Common signs include difficulty with bathing or dressing, forgetting medications, declining nutrition, increased falls, or you feeling overwhelmed as a caregiver. If you’re asking the question, it’s worth a conversation.
Yes. In addition to providing daily living care, memory care, companionship, 24/7 hourly care, and more, we also offer AI-enhanced home care. This includes AI fall detection, VR therapy, wearable monitors, and robotic companion pets.

If you’re planning ahead, need respite care, or have a loved one coming home from the hospital this week, we’re here. No pressure, no obligation. Just a conversation about your situation and how we might help.
