Home health care is intended for those who require skilled medical care while recovering at home. Licensed nurses and therapists can provide physical therapy, wound care, injections, rehabilitation, and other skilled care under the direction of a physician. These services are often short term and centered on recovery from illness, injury or medical procedure.
Home care is non-medical assistance that enables individuals to continue living independently in a familiar setting. Caregivers help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, mobility, toileting, companionship and other personal care needs that support safety and comfort.
Our live-in care in North Carolina allows seniors to stay in the setting they are most comfortable with while enjoying the benefits of personalized, 24-hour help from skilled caregivers. Each care plan is tailored to the needs of the individual and can be revised as the needs of the individual change over time.
Options Home Care develops tailored care plans, assists families in transitioning back home after a hospital or rehabilitation stay, and offers personal care, respite care and live-in care. Convenient technology allows us to keep families updated on their loved one’s care and overall well-being.
We believe that quality care is more than just meeting daily needs. We aim to support each client to maintain their physical, emotional and social well-being so that they can continue to enjoy life at home with confidence.
Activities of Daily Living are the everyday personal care functions that are necessary for maintaining health, safety, and independence. These basic activities generally include:
The ability to perform these activities is often used to determine eligibility for long-term care benefits. Most long-term care insurance policies require that the individual need help with two ADLs before benefits are paid, though some veterans benefit programs might require three. If your loved one needs help with these activities of daily living, we can talk about care options and help you plan for their future needs.
Live-In Care in North Carolina allows seniors to stay in their own homes with a caregiver who lives in the home and provides daily assistance. Throughout the day, caregivers assist with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, transportation, mobility, errands and companionship. They’re also on hand overnight if assistance is needed.
24-hour care differs from live-in care in that it is provided by a group of care workers who work in shifts to deliver care 24 hours a day, providing constant supervision and support.
Options Home Care believes that familiar caregivers make for a better care experience. We build lasting relationships by learning the daily routines, preferences and special care needs of each of our clients. We offer personal care, companionship, meal planning, mobility assistance and discharge planning for those coming home from the hospital.
Live-in care gives many families the reassurance of reliable support, whilst allowing their loved ones to continue living safely and comfortably in the home they know best.
Options Home Care provides a variety of payment options to help families obtain the support they need with greater peace of mind, including private pay, long-term care insurance, and Medicare Part C Advantage Plans.
Long-term care insurance helps pay for services that assist with daily living over a long period of time. Many people get this coverage years before retirement to prepare for potential care needs from aging, chronic illness, disability or injury. Unlike traditional health insurance, these policies are specifically tailored to help cover the costs of ongoing personal care services.
Once eligibility criteria are met, benefits may be used to pay for home care, assisted living or skilled nursing services. Most insurance companies will require that the person needs help with two or more Activities of Daily Living or a qualifying cognitive condition. We work directly with insurance companies to verify coverage, assist with claims, document services and help families with the reimbursement process.
Many veterans rely on the VA Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care Program to help them stay in their homes. This benefit provides non-medical assistance with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, meal preparation, housekeeping and other daily living needs.
Options Home Care is honored to be an accredited VA Community Care provider. This means we are able to offer approved home care services through qualifying VA programs.
Eligibility generally requires veterans to:
Once aftercare is approved, we collaborate with VA liaisons and care coordinators to develop tailored support plans that address the specific circumstances of each veteran. We also help families understand the benefits available to them and help them through the approval process.
Veterans who qualify and surviving spouses may receive additional assistance with VA Aid and Attendance to help offset the cost of eligible non-medical home care.
