Yes. Establishing trust is an important part of the caregiving relationship. We provide families with an opportunity to meet and speak with the caregiver before services begin so that expectations, preferences, and care goals can be discussed openly.

Our caregivers help provide consistency and structure while supporting seniors in their own homes. Support can include help with personal care, making meals, keeping up with daily routines, supervision, and spending time with them. This kind of help can also take some pressure off family members, so they don’t have to manage every small part of the day and can spend more time just being with their loved one.
Home-based memory care is often a good choice when a loved one benefits from familiar surroundings and personalized attention.

Yes. One of the benefits of home-based memory care is its flexibility. As your loved one’s condition changes, we can modify the care plan to provide additional support, longer visits, or more comprehensive services. This allows families to respond to changing needs while maintaining continuity of care.
Memory care is often needed for a longer period of time, so it’s usually grouped under long-term care. At Options Home Care, families can pay privately, use long-term care insurance, or in some cases use Medicare Part C Advantage Plans to help with the cost of care.
Long-term care insurance is meant to help with the cost of ongoing support when someone starts needing regular help with daily tasks. People usually buy these policies years before they actually need care. When things like aging, disability, or memory-related conditions make everyday activities harder, the policy can help cover services like personal care, supervision, and help moving around. In many cases, it can also be used for care at home or in other care settings.
Once someone qualifies, they may be able to use their benefits to help lower the cost of care. Our team works with insurance companies to check coverage, help with claims, keep track of required records, and answer questions as things move along so families don’t have to handle all the paperwork on their own.
Activities of Daily Living, often called ADLs, are basic everyday tasks that people do to take care of themselves and stay independent. As people get older or deal with health issues, these things can become harder to manage without some help. ADLs usually include things like:
A lot of insurance plans and support programs look at ADLs when deciding if someone may qualify for help. For example, long-term care insurance may require that a person needs help with at least two of these activities before benefits can start. Some veterans’ programs use similar guidelines and may look for assistance with around three ADLs before approving certain services.
When a loved one starts having more difficulty with daily tasks, it can be a sign that some extra help may be needed. We can take a look at their situation, go over what options are out there, and help with things like understanding care choices and sorting out coverage details if needed.
Some veterans may qualify for help through the VA Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care program. This program is meant to support them at home while they go about daily life. It can include things like help with bathing, getting dressed, grooming, making meals, moving around safely, light cleaning, and other everyday non-medical tasks.
Options Home Care is an approved VA community care provider. For eligible veterans, home care services may be covered through the Department of Veterans Affairs, which can help make it easier to receive care while staying at home.
Veterans generally must meet the following requirements:
Once services are authorized, we collaborate closely with the VA and care coordination team to ensure every veteran receives personalized support that aligns with their needs. Our staff can also assist families throughout the application and approval process.
Some veterans and surviving spouses may be able to get extra help through programs like VA Aid and Attendance, which can go toward the cost of non-medical home care. Whether someone qualifies can depend on different factors, like how much help they need, their service history, financial situation, and discharge status.
In-home memory care is when someone stays at home while still getting help with dementia, Alzheimer’s, or other memory-related conditions. Some families choose this because home already feels familiar, and that can make day-to-day life feel a bit less confusing or overwhelming, especially when routines are already in place.
It’s also a different setup from larger care facilities, since care isn’t shared across many people at the same time. Instead, a caregiver comes in to help with things like personal care, daily routines, safety, and some support related to memory needs. Over time, it can just feel more familiar since it’s often the same caregiver returning to the home.
