Our service area includes:
Let’s start with a free phone consultation to learn more about your family’s care needs.
Our team will provide the support and services your loved one needs to maintain independence at home—with peace of mind for you.
Home health care is medical — think nurses or therapists coming to the home for wound care, injections, or rehabilitation after a procedure, always with a doctor’s order and usually for a very limited time.
In-home care is about everyday life. It covers the personal support your loved one needs to stay safe and comfortable at home: help with bathing, dressing, eating, and moving around, plus companionship and engagement that genuinely improve their quality of life.
Options Home Care serves Southern Maryland families with personalized care plans, discharge coordination, and services ranging from daily personal care to live-in care and respite care. Our AI-enhanced tools also give families peace of mind by keeping them connected and informed.
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:
They’re important because many benefits programs use ADLs to determine eligibility.
Most long-term care insurance policies require that a person need assistance with at least two ADLs before benefits can begin. Certain veterans’ programs require assistance with three ADLs to qualify for home care services.
Our team is available to answer any questions you might have related to ADLs and your long-term care insurance.
With live-in care, one dedicated caregiver lives in the home, supports your loved one throughout the day, and stays overnight (sleeping for eight hours but available if needed). 24-hour round-the-clock care involves multiple caregivers rotating through shifts at all hours, meaning different people coming and going day and night.
For Southern Maryland families who want consistency and a familiar face, live-in care is often the better fit.
Long-term care insurance can potentially cover in-home care in Southern Maryland. Long-term care insurance is a private policy typically purchased in your 40s or 50s, designed to cover extended support with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and mobility due to aging, illness, or disability. Benefits generally begin once you need help with two or more activities of daily living (ADLs) or have a cognitive impairment.
At Options Home Care Southern Maryland, we work directly with long-term care insurance companies to verify coverage, file claims, document services, and guide you through reimbursement, so that you can focus on your loved one’s care. We accept private pay and long-term care insurance.
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 veterans remain safe and independent. 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 Southern Maryland can be paid directly by the VA to provide approved home care services.
To qualify, 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.

In most cases, care can begin within two days of your initial call.
Hourly care covers scheduled visits during the day, while live-in care means a caregiver is present in the home around the clock. Families in Southern Maryland often choose live-in care when a loved one needs ongoing supervision and a familiar, stable presence rather than periodic check-ins.
Shifts for hourly caregivers typically run between 4 and 12 hours, customized around your loved one’s daily routine. Live-in caregivers are present throughout the day and stay overnight, stepping in whenever they’re needed. Daily support looks different for everyone, and it might include meal prep, medication reminders, personal care, companionship, or a combination of all of the above.
Yes. We assign the same caregiver whenever possible. For seniors in Southern Maryland, that consistency makes a real difference in their quality of life.
Yes. We encourage families to meet their caregiver before care starts. That said, we think the real proof is in the first shift, watching someone provide care tells you far more than a conversation can. If the match doesn’t feel right after that first visit, we’re happy to make a change.
If your loved one’s caregiver gets sick or needs time off, we always have someone available for backup coverage. That way, there are never any gaps in their care.
Yes, of course. Personal care tasks like bathing, dressing, and meal preparation are a core part of what we do, along with light housekeeping and support alongside therapy services when applicable. Care plans are adjusted as needs evolve and change.
We serve clients throughout the United States, including Southern Maryland and the surrounding region. Our team can also help families understand local resources and insurance options. We’re always here to answer any questions.
Yes. We work directly with healthcare providers throughout Southern Maryland and handle discharge planning, so that the move from hospital to home is organized and stress-free.
Live-in care means one dedicated caregiver lives in your loved one’s home, available throughout the day and on-site overnight. It’s a stable, relationship-based alternative to rotating staff; someone who truly knows your loved one and their daily life.
Pricing depends on your loved one’s needs and payment method. Contact us and our care team will walk you through the options.
Cost varies based on the level of care required. Reach out, and we’ll learn more about your loved one’s situation and provide an estimated quote.
