What Families Are Saying

Hear From Our Clients

Our mother's caregiver, Shamona, provided fantastic care. I cannot say enough good things about her and all she did for mother and our family. She truly went above and beyond what we ever could have expected. Even after mother entered a nursing home Shamona continued to provide comfort for all of us. The day we contacted Options and were matched with this wonderful caring person was our lucky day. Shamona and the whole team provided tremendous help and we're so thankful.

Options Home Care is an answer to prayer for us. When Bridgette came to assess our needs we knew this was God's divine plan. Every worker we have had has been exemplary. We were blessed to have DeOminique become our Home Health Aid. God knew just what we needed having someone tall, strong, and with a dazzling smile is to our benefit. She greets my husband with that smile and her dimples are charming. It brighten his day and he wakes up in good spirits. Without a doubt we praise God for " Options for America."

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers About Our Local Services

Are your caregivers vetted?

Yes, each of our caregivers is carefully vetted. In fact, many of our caregivers at Options Home Care have worked with us for over a decade, providing quality personal care to many seniors throughout Indiana.

We accept private pay and long-term care insurance. If your loved one has long-term care coverage, our team can work directly with the insurance provider and help manage the benefit process on your behalf. That way, your family does not have to handle the paperwork or claims on their own.

You might want to consider home health care services if:

  • Your loved one wants to remain in their home but needs extra daily support and quality care
  • Everyday tasks like bathing, dressing, or meal preparation feel harder to manage
  • Safety concerns arise during the day or when you cannot be present
  • Family caregivers feel stretched thin, balancing care with other responsibilities
  • Your loved one could benefit from routine help, supervision, or companionship
  • Companion services alone no longer meet changing needs
  • A move to an assisted living facility does not feel like the right solution
  • Health needs increase, but skilled nursing care is not required

Start by contacting us for an intake call. We then match you with qualified caregivers, you interview and choose the best fit, and care begins. Our nationwide caregiver network allows us to place skilled care wherever you live in Indiana.
