Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s, dementia or other memory issues can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. Our caregivers provide the specialized support needed to help seniors continue to live safely, and comfortably at home—where they feel most secure and at ease. Because home is where seniors belong—preserving familiarity, and helping them find joy and purpose in each day.
Each care plan is customized based on the senior’s cognitive needs, personal preferences, and daily routines.
Yes. Every caregiver on our team goes through a screening process, with many bringing hands-on experience supporting individuals with memory loss. Families trust Options Home Care in Guilford County for consistent, compassionate in-home support.
Yes. We want your family to feel confident from the start, which is why you can meet and interview the caregiver before care begins.
In many cases, care can begin within just a few days. Once we understand your loved one’s routine, preferences, and level of support needed, we move quickly to match you with the right caregiver.
At Options Home Care, we support family members by stepping in with structured, consistent care right in the home. Our caregivers help with routines, meals, hygiene, and daily guidance while focusing on providing specialized memory care that keeps your loved one comfortable in a familiar setting.
Many families come to us when a move to assisted living does not feel like the right fit (even when it’s a compassionate senior living community). Your loved one might feel more at ease at home, especially if transitions cause confusion or distress. In-home care allows older adults to maintain a sense of independent living while still receiving the support they need.
Yes. Our caregivers are experienced in supporting daily tasks while also responding to behaviors like confusion, agitation, or repetition. We use calm redirection and routine-based care, and we can also assist with medication management to help create more stability throughout the day.
Yes. We provide overnight care through our hourly model, including full 24/7 coverage when needed. Unlike traditional live-in setups, our caregivers remain awake and attentive, which helps maintain a more secure environment for individuals who experience nighttime confusion or wandering.
We work with clients experiencing Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other forms of cognitive decline. Our care plans include support with daily routines, safety monitoring, and engaging activities that help your loved one stay connected and supported throughout the day.
Absolutely. Care needs often evolve, and we adjust with you. Whether your loved one needs more hours, additional support, or a transition toward more consistent care, we build flexible plans that continue to meet their needs without requiring a move to a senior living community.
Memory 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 the memory 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, 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.
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.
In-home memory care services allow your loved one to stay in a familiar space and a completely supportive environment, instead of moving into memory care facilities, assisted living facilities, or a nursing home. Unlike memory care communities in North Carolina or a memory care unit, care happens at home with a focus on personal care, daily routines, and one-on-one dementia care. This often feels less overwhelming than a structured environment in senior living settings while still supporting those with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
