Our respite care is temporary relief and in-home support for families and primary caregivers who need a break. A trained caregiver steps in to assist your loved one with daily needs — giving you time to rest, recharge, or handle other responsibilities.
We always start by learning about your loved one’s needs, routines, and preferences. From there, we match them with a vetted caregiver and create a flexible care plan — whether you need a few hours of help or around-the-clock support. One of the best parts of our respite care in Guilford County is your loved one can remain in their own home.
Planned respite care is scheduled in advance on a regular or occasional basis. Emergency respite care is available when an unexpected situation arises, and you need support quickly.
Our respite care is available from 4 hours up to 24 hours a day, giving you the flexibility to schedule as little or as much support from our compassionate caregivers as your family needs.
As a professional respite care provider, we understand that caregiver needs don’t always come with notice. In many cases, we can arrange care within a very short timeframe. Contact us, and we’ll work quickly to get quality care in place.

Respite care can be considered long-term care in Guilford County. At Options Home Care, we accept private pay, long-term care insurance, and Medicare Part C Advantage Plans for respite care services.
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: Bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring (such as from a bed to a chair), eating, and continence.
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 in Guilford County is struggling with these daily tasks, our team at Options Home Care can assess their needs and guide you through the next steps for coverage and care planning.
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 eligible veterans remain safe, independent, and maintain their overall well-being. 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 these veterans’ 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.
Some veterans and surviving spouses might also qualify for additional support through programs such as VA Aid and Attendance, which can help cover non-medical home care costs depending on service history, discharge status, care needs, and financial guidelines.
