ADLs are the basic functions that allow a person to care for themselves on a day-to-day basis. They are frequently used by healthcare professionals and insurance companies to evaluate a person’s degree of autonomy. Examples are:
ADLs are frequently included in benefit reviews because they are used to measure care needs. Long-term care insurance companies often have a requirement of needing help with two ADLs before they will cover. Some veterans’ programs may require help with three ADLs to be eligible for support services. We can help you determine the needs of your loved one and advise you on care planning and the resources that are available.

Options Home Care accepts private pay, long-term care insurance and certain Medicare Part C Advantage Plans as payment options for care services.
Long-term care insurance is a way for people to plan for the possibility of needing care in their later years. These policies help cover the cost of help with daily activities that become challenging due to age-related issues, illness, disability or cognitive decline. Long-term care insurance is unlike health insurance, which covers short-term rather than long-term medical care.
When policy eligibility requirements are met, home, assisted living, and skilled nursing environments may be covered. Many policies require documented help with Activities of Daily Living or evidence of cognitive impairment before benefits kick in. We work closely with insurance companies to verify eligibility, co-ordinate claim submissions, document services and assist families with the reimbursement process.
