Home health care focuses on medical needs, with licensed professionals delivering services such as wound care, injections, rehabilitation, or therapy under a physician’s direction. These services are generally temporary and provided after illness, surgery, or hospitalization.
In contrast, in-home senior care concentrates on daily support to promote independence. Seniors receive help with essential Activities of Daily Living, including bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, transferring, and maintaining continence, enabling them to remain comfortably at home.
Options Home Care provides personalized, hands-on assistance for daily living, including personal hygiene, mobility support, meal preparation, companionship, and cognitive support. Our services are ongoing and designed to ensure safety and comfort. Families benefit from tailored care plans, assistance with hospital discharges, and flexible options such as live-in or respite care. Our AI-enabled tools allow families to stay connected while seniors enjoy independence.
We prioritize holistic care, addressing the full spectrum of physical, emotional, and social needs to enhance overall quality of life.
The term Activities of Daily Living describes the routine self-care functions that are necessary for independent living. These typically cover:
Activities of Daily Living are commonly used by insurance providers and government programs to decide if an individual qualifies for care coverage. Typically, long-term care policies require help with two or more ADLs, while specific veterans’ programs may have a three-task requirement. If your loved one has difficulty performing any of these essential tasks, we can assist by evaluating their needs and helping you explore suitable care services and coverage solutions.
Live-in care means a caregiver resides in the home to provide full-day and overnight support. Care includes assistance with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, mobility, companionship, and other daily tasks. Caregivers take rest periods at night but are available when needed.
By comparison, 24-hour care relies on multiple caregivers rotating in shifts to ensure seniors receive continuous awake supervision and uninterrupted assistance.
Options Home Care’s live-in care offers the advantage of a consistent caregiver, fostering a stronger bond and greater trust. Your loved one develops a daily routine with the same caregiver, promoting familiarity and security. We also provide help with hospital discharge transitions, daily personal care, meals, and engaging companionship.
Options Home Care accepts multiple forms of payment, including private pay, long-term care insurance, and Medicare Part C Advantage Plans, to ensure families have access to reliable care.
Long-term care insurance is designed to provide financial assistance for extended help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. These policies are usually purchased in advance and are intended for ongoing support rather than short-term or acute medical care.
Our team works directly with long-term care insurance companies to confirm your eligibility, begin the claims process, document all services provided, and guide you through reimbursement. We simplify the process so families can focus on their loved one’s comfort and care.
Several of our veteran clients receive assistance through the VA’s Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care program, a benefit that falls under VA healthcare services. This program provides non-medical care within the home, helping veterans maintain independence and a safe living environment. Services often include support with bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and other daily needs.
Options Home Care is an accredited VA community care provider, allowing us to be paid directly by the VA for authorized in-home senior care services.
Veterans must meet the following qualifications:
After approval, we work in partnership with the VA and the assigned social worker to deliver dependable and individualized care at home. We also help families navigate the application process to ensure everything is completed correctly.
Some veterans and their surviving spouses may also qualify for programs such as VA Aid and Attendance, which can provide additional financial support for non-medical in-home care based on service eligibility, discharge status, level of care needed, and financial guidelines.
Our home care services are designed to begin quickly, often within 24 to 48 hours, depending on your situation and caregiver availability. For families facing a hospital discharge or an urgent need for support, our team works promptly to assess requirements, create a tailored care plan, and put services in place without delay.
