Caring for a loved one is one of the most meaningful things you can do, but it can also be one of the most demanding. At Options Home Care, we step in so you can step away, knowing your family member is in capable hands. Our live-in respite services work around your schedule, your needs, and your loved one’s routines.
Plans that are specific to your loved one’s cognitive needs, personal preferences, and daily routines.
Help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and grooming while maintaining dignity and respect.
Rides to appointments, grocery shopping, pharmacy runs, and staying connected to the community.
Night-time wandering creates safety risks and rapid burnout for family caregivers. Our respite care plans are available round-the-clock.
Innovative tools to keep seniors connected, safe, and independent in their own homes.
Compassionate care, delivered in the comfort of home.
Our live-in respite programs provide you with in-home support and temporary relief from your caregiving duties. At Options Home Care, our trained caregivers stay with your loved one in their home, assisting with daily needs while you’re away on vacation, traveling for work, or simply need extended time to rest and recharge.
No. Our live-in respite care is intended for those who need multi-day support, consisting of a few days to a week or even longer.
Our team starts by learning about your loved one’s routines, care preferences, and their specific needs at home. We then match them with a vetted caregiver and create a customized respite care plan. Our live-in respite care can be either planned multi-day care or emergency care.
Planned respite care is when you schedule care in advance on a regular or occasional basis. Emergency respite care is when an unexpected situation comes up, and you need support very soon.
Our live-in respite care is intended for multi-day support (whether you need coverage for a few days, a week, or longer), giving you the flexibility to schedule as much support from our compassionate caregivers as your family needs.
We know that the need for a break doesn’t always come with advance notice. As an experienced respite care provider, we can, in many cases, arrange live-in support within a very short timeframe. Contact us, and we’ll get the right caregiver in place as soon as possible.
If you’re a primary caregiver who is feeling stretched too thin, burnt out, or simply need to step away for a few days or longer, our live-in respite care service is designed for you.
Please note that respite care is not a substitute for medical services or home health care services, and it does not address many mental health needs (with the exception of Alzheimer’s and dementia). If you’re unsure which type of care is right for your situation, please contact us, and we are happy to help.
Yes, they are. Every caregiver on our team goes through a detailed screening process.
Yes, you can. We always want your family to feel comfortable and confident in the care your loved one will receive.
In many cases, yes, because respite care can be considered long-term care.
At Options Home Care, we accept private pay, long-term care insurance, and veteran home care benefits.
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, which are often called ADLs, are basic self-care tasks that a person must be able to perform to live independently. These typically include: Bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring (such as from a bed to a chair), eating, and continence.
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, our team at Options Home Care can 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.
Yes, we do! Our in-home services go beyond temporary respite care. They can be a great fit if your loved one wants to remain in their home rather than moving into a senior living community or nursing home facilities.
