Home health care is focused on medical interventions and delivered by licensed professionals who perform tasks such as wound care, administering injections, monitoring vital signs, and providing rehabilitation therapy under a doctor’s orders. These services are typically short-term and often follow illness, injury, or hospital discharge.
In contrast, in-home senior care is designed around daily living and practical support, helping seniors manage Activities of Daily Living like bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, transferring, and maintaining continence. The goal is to promote independence and well-being at home.
At Options Home Care, we provide comprehensive daily support, including personal care, mobility assistance, meal preparation, companionship, and memory care. Care plans are tailored to each individual, and services include hospital discharge support as well as live-in and respite care options. Our AI-powered tools allow families to remain connected and informed while their loved ones live independently.
We focus on holistic care, ensuring that seniors receive support that nurtures their physical health, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.
Daily living activities are the fundamental self-care responsibilities a person must handle to live independently. These usually encompass:
Activities of Daily Living are often a key factor in determining whether someone qualifies for care coverage. Most long-term care policies consider a person eligible if they require help with at least two of these essential self-care tasks, while some veterans’ benefits programs may require assistance with three. When a senior experiences challenges with any of the tasks described, we are able to evaluate their situation and advise families on the best approaches for care services and coverage options.
Live-in care is a service in which a caregiver remains in the home, providing support throughout the day and overnight hours. Assistance typically includes personal care, meal preparation, mobility support, companionship, and more. While caregivers have periods of rest at night, they are available whenever needed.
By comparison, 24-hour senior care employs multiple caregivers in shifts to deliver continuous supervision and attentive support around the clock.
Options Home Care’s live-in services emphasize consistency and relationship-building. Your loved one interacts with the same caregiver daily, creating trust and familiarity. We also assist with hospital-to-home transitions, provide daily living support, meal assistance, and offer companionship that helps seniors feel safe and valued in their own home.
Options Home Care offers flexible payment solutions and accepts private pay, long-term care insurance, and Medicare Part C Advantage Plans.
Long-term care insurance is created to assist with the costs associated with extended support for everyday activities such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. These plans are generally secured ahead of time and are intended for ongoing care services instead of temporary medical needs.
Our team collaborates with all major long-term care insurance companies to confirm your coverage, start your claim, maintain proper documentation, and walk you through the reimbursement process. We handle the administrative details so you can concentrate on providing the best care for your loved one.
A large number of our veteran clients benefit from the VA’s Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care program, which is a component of VA health coverage. This program offers non-medical support within the home, allowing veterans to maintain independence and safety in a familiar environment. Covered services generally include assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and other routine daily tasks.
Options Home Care is proud to be an accredited VA community care provider, which allows us to be paid directly by the VA for delivering approved in-home senior care services.
Veterans who wish to qualify must meet the following criteria:
After approval is granted, we collaborate closely with the VA and the assigned social worker to ensure care is delivered consistently and tailored to each individual. We also provide guidance and support throughout the application process.
Some veterans and surviving spouses may also be eligible for additional financial assistance through programs such as VA Aid and Attendance, which can help offset the cost of non-medical in-home care based on service background, discharge status, level of need, and financial qualifications.
In many cases, our home care services can be initiated within 24 to 48 hours, based on individual circumstances and the availability of qualified caregivers. When a loved one is transitioning home from the hospital or urgent support is needed, we act quickly to evaluate their needs, design a customized care plan, and begin services as soon as possible.
Yes, our services extend to Crown Point and nearby communities across Indiana. We work closely with families and seniors throughout the area to provide reliable in-home care that promotes well-being and peace of mind.
Our approach to in-home care is designed to cover more than just essential tasks. Services include personal care, mobility assistance, preparing meals, companionship, and ongoing daily support. Families often select this option instead of moving a loved one into an assisted living community, as it allows seniors to stay in their own home while benefiting from reliable care that encourages comfort, dignity, and independence.
With in-home care, seniors are able to stay in a familiar environment while benefiting from ongoing assistance provided by caring and attentive caregivers. This type of support can lead to improved daily structure, enhanced comfort, and a stronger feeling of independence.
