At Options Home Care, we’re proud to serve those who served us—providing compassionate, personalized senior care services for veterans across multiple states.
Our experienced team, including a dedicated VA support unit, helps veterans and their families understand their benefits and navigate the application process with ease—ensuring timely access to the in-home care they deserve.
The Aid and Attendance program can help cover the cost of in-home senior care based on specific criteria. Veterans or their surviving spouses may qualify if they meet the following:
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 can be paid directly by the VA to provide approved home care services.
To qualify for in-home VA health care benefits, 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.
Yes. Every caregiver on our team goes through a screening process. Families trust Options Home Care for consistent, compassionate in-home support, including caregivers familiar with homemaker and home health support.
Yes. We want your family to feel confident from the start, which is why you can meet and interview the caregiver before care begins, including those providing home health aide care.
In many cases, care can begin within just a few days. Once we understand your loved one’s routine, preferences, and level of support needed, we move quickly to match you with the right caregiver, including support aligned with a home health aide program when appropriate.
No. Many programs support veterans who need help with daily activities, chronic conditions, or recovery after an illness. Eligibility depends on several factors, not just disability level, and we can help clarify what applies to your situation, including available VA benefits.

Yes. We help coordinate care for veterans returning home after a hospital stay or surgery. This can include skilled home care and support with daily activities to make the transition smoother.

We start by learning about your health, daily routine, and level of support needed. From there, we guide you through available options, including in-home care, respite care, and other community-based services. Our goal is to provide you with care that fits your situation so you can stay comfortable, supported, and independent at home.

At Options Home Care, we accept private pay, long-term care insurance, and Medicare Part C Advantage Plans for at-home care.
Long-term care insurance is a private policy purchased years before care is needed, often in your 40s or 50s. It helps cover extended support with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and mobility due to aging, illness, or disability. Unlike health insurance, it is designed specifically to pay for ongoing custodial care at home, in assisted living, or in a skilled nursing setting.
If you have long-term care insurance, benefits begin once you meet eligibility requirements, which typically include needing help with two or more activities of daily living or having a cognitive impairment. Our team works directly with all long-term care insurance companies to verify your coverage, initiate your claim, document services, and guide you through the reimbursement process so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
Activities of Daily Living, often called ADLs, are basic self-care tasks that a person must be able to perform to live independently. These typically include:
ADLs matter because many benefits programs use them to determine eligibility. Most long-term care insurance policies require that a person need assistance with at least two ADLs before benefits begin. Certain veterans’ programs require assistance with three ADLs to qualify for home care services.
If your loved one is struggling with these daily tasks, we can help assess their needs and guide you through the next steps for coverage and care planning.
