Memory-related conditions often mean someone needs support for a longer stretch of time, so memory care is usually grouped under long-term care. At Options Home Care, we help families sort through different ways to pay for care, like private pay, long-term care insurance, and some Medicare Part C Advantage Plans.
Long-term care insurance is there to help with the cost of care when someone needs ongoing support. It can help cover things like personal care, help with moving around, supervision, and other day-to-day needs that can come with aging, illness, or memory-related conditions.
If someone already has a policy, we can take a look and see what might apply. We also help with checking coverage, handling claims, keeping basic records, and speaking with the insurance company when needed, just to make things a bit easier for families as they go through the process.
Activities of Daily Living, or ADLs, are basic self-care tasks that people do as part of everyday life in order to maintain independence. They’re often used as a way to understand how much help someone might need with daily life. These usually include :
ADLs are also commonly used when looking at whether someone may qualify for long-term care support or services. Most long-term care insurance providers require a person to need assistance with at least two ADLs before benefits can begin. Veterans’ programs may have additional requirements and often look at the need for assistance with three ADLs.
If someone in your family is starting to struggle with these daily tasks, we can take a look at their situation and help figure out what level of support might be needed. We can also go over the options available and explain what kinds of help or benefits may apply.
Some veterans may be able to get home care through the VA Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care program. It provides help with everyday tasks so they can continue living at home. This program helps with day-to-day tasks so they can stay living at home. It can include support with things like bathing, getting dressed, preparing meals, light cleaning, grooming, and other personal care needs, with the goal of keeping daily life a bit safer and more manageable.
Options Home Care works with the VA community care program to provide approved home care services for eligible veterans. In some cases, VA benefits may help cover the cost of care for services that are approved through the program.
To qualify, veterans typically need to:
Once everything is approved, we stay in touch with the VA and the social worker to help make sure services are set up and continue as needed. We can also help answer questions about eligibility, how to apply, and what the process involves.
Some veterans and surviving spouses may be able to get help through VA Aid and Attendance or similar programs that can go toward the cost of non-medical home care. Whether someone qualifies can depend on a few different things, like their service history, how much care they need, their discharge status, and their financial situation.
In-home memory care is when someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s stays at home and still gets some help with daily needs. They don’t move into a facility and instead remain in a place they already know. For some people, that can feel a bit easier day to day, especially when memory loss starts affecting things.
Care is based on what the person needs at the time, like help with daily tasks, staying safe, companionship, or support with memory-related changes. Usually it’s one caregiver working with one person, and the support just shifts depending on how things are going each day.
