Home health care delivers medically-focused services provided by licensed professionals, including wound management, injections, monitoring vital signs, and therapy directed by a physician. These services are usually short-term and often follow a medical event such as surgery or illness.
In-home senior care centers on assistance with everyday living. It supports seniors with Activities of Daily Living, including bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, transferring, and continence, allowing them to remain safe, comfortable, and independent in their own homes.
At Options Home Care, our team provides hands-on support for daily routines, covering personal care, mobility assistance, meals, companionship, and memory care. We create customized care plans, coordinate hospital discharges, and offer flexible services such as live-in care and respite care. Our AI-enhanced technology keeps families informed while promoting independence.
Our approach focuses on the whole person, providing support that nurtures physical health, emotional well-being, and social engagement rather than concentrating only on medical conditions.
Activities of Daily Living involve essential personal care activities that a person must perform to sustain independence and daily functioning. These generally include:
These personal care tasks are often referenced to determine eligibility for long-term care and other support programs. Most long-term care insurance policies require an individual to need assistance with at least two Activities of Daily Living, and some veterans’ benefits programs require help with three. Should your loved one find any of the previously listed tasks challenging, we are available to assess their needs thoroughly and guide families in understanding care options and insurance coverage possibilities.
Live-in care provides a dedicated caregiver who stays in the home and assists throughout the day and overnight hours. Typical support includes personal care, meal preparation, mobility assistance, companionship, and more. Caregivers rest at night but are ready to respond when necessary.
In comparison, 24-hour senior care uses a team of caregivers in rotating shifts to provide round-the-clock awake supervision and support.
Options Home Care’s live-in approach emphasizes consistency and meaningful relationships. Seniors work with the same caregiver each day, building trust and comfort. Our team also supports hospital-to-home transitions, assists with daily routines and meals, and provides companionship to ensure your loved one feels safe, valued, and well cared for at home.
At Options Home Care, we support families by accepting private pay, long-term care insurance, and Medicare Part C Advantage Plans as payment options.
Long-term care insurance is intended to cover the costs of extended assistance with essential daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. These policies are commonly purchased ahead of time and are structured to support ongoing care needs rather than temporary medical treatment.
Our dedicated team coordinates with all long-term care insurance providers to verify coverage, initiate claims, maintain detailed documentation, and guide you through each stage of the reimbursement process. This ensures a smoother experience so you can prioritize care instead of paperwork.
Many of the veterans we care for utilize the VA’s Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care program, which is included in their VA health benefits. This program offers non-medical assistance in the home, helping veterans remain independent while receiving the support they need. Services commonly include assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and other daily living tasks.
Options Home Care is recognized as an accredited VA community care provider, which allows us to receive direct payment from the VA for approved in-home senior care services.
To qualify for this benefit, veterans must meet the following requirements:
Once services are approved, we work closely with the VA and the assigned social worker to provide consistent, high-quality care tailored to each individual’s needs. We also assist with navigating the application process from start to finish.
In some cases, veterans and surviving spouses may also be eligible for programs such as VA Aid and Attendance, which can help cover the cost of non-medical in-home care based on eligibility criteria such as military service, discharge status, care requirements, and financial considerations.
Compassionate home care through our team can typically be arranged within 24 to 48 hours, based on the details of your situation and caregiver availability. If your loved one is returning home from the hospital or needs immediate assistance, we take swift action to evaluate care needs, develop a personalized plan, and begin providing support as quickly as possible.

In-home care makes it possible for seniors to continue living in a familiar environment while receiving consistent assistance from compassionate caregivers.

It also brings peace of mind to family members who want to ensure their loved one is safe and well cared for.
