What Families Are Saying

Hear From Our Clients

We had an excellent experience with Options Home Care. Robert was great to work with for our needs. The caregiver sent to us was outstanding. She called me ahead of time, and when she came, my husband’s care was excellent. We needed the help, I needed the help and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Options Home Care again!

Extremely glad I made the decision I to utilize Options Home Care in Cary. Their personnel was professional, caring and loving. I am so grateful for their help with my beloved wife as she endured the final stages of Alzheimer’s.

Meet Robert Bedwell, Owner & Community Relations Director

Bringing Trusted Senior Care to Wake County, North Carolina

Robert-Bedwell
Owning Options Home Care is a dream come true for me. I always wanted to own my own business and when I was downsized from my job several years ago, I realized that was my sign to pursue my dream. I started looking into business opportunities and realized that an Options Home Care franchise was exactly what I was looking for, a business that provides a needed valuable service, that creates jobs for people in the triangle and 9 surrounding counties. This allows my staff and I to be active contributors in our local communities.

Since our office opened in 2005, I have come to
understand even better what an amazing service we are able to provide. When a client says to me, “You don’t know what a burden you’ve lifted off my shoulders,” it just reinforces the knowledge that I made the right decision and that we are making a significant impact in the lives of our clients.
 
Before I became a franchise owner, I worked in the corporate office of Options Home Care in DC to ensure that I was able to provide my clients and their families with the utmost care and experience. That hands-on experience provides me with the knowledge and the ability to serve as a resource to help point people in the right direction.
 
We are happy to provide a FREE consultation to help you and your families explore your options and understand what resources and options are available to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Home health care and in-home care serve very different purposes. Home health care is medical in nature and usually involves short-term skilled services ordered by a doctor, such as wound care, injections, physical therapy, or occupational therapy after a surgery, illness, or hospitalization.

In-home senior care focuses on helping older adults with daily living and ongoing support at home. This includes assistance with Activities of Daily Living such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, mobility, toileting, companionship, and memory care support.

At Options Home Care, we help seniors throughout Wake County continue living comfortably in familiar surroundings with personalized support that fits their routines and needs. Care is not centered around a temporary medical event. Instead, it is designed to support long-term safety, comfort, independence, and quality of life at home.

Our team also helps families navigate transitions after hospital stays by assisting with discharge coordination and building care plans that evolve as needs change. We offer personal care, respite care, companion care, and live-in support while using AI-enhanced tools that help families stay informed and connected throughout the care journey.

Rather than only focusing on a diagnosis or recovery period, we focus on the person as a whole and the day-to-day support that helps them feel comfortable at home.

In many situations, personal care assistance can begin within 24 to 48 hours based on care needs and caregiver availability. If your loved one is returning home from the hospital or needs a customized care plan quickly, our team works hard to complete a thorough assessment, build a plan, and coordinate services so care can begin as soon as possible.

Yes. Options Home Care proudly serves families throughout Wake County, including Fuquay-Varina, Holly Springs, Garner, Morrisville, Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, NC, and nearby communities. Our caregivers provide dependable in-home senior care designed around each client’s needs and routines.

In-home care gives seniors the ability to stay in familiar surroundings while receiving support with everyday tasks. Many older adults prefer remaining at home rather than moving into an assisted living community, and home care makes that possible with help tailored to their daily routines.

Caregivers assist with mobility, meals, personal care, companionship, and household tasks while helping clients maintain as much independence as possible. This support often helps seniors feel more comfortable, confident, and connected to their normal routines.

Caring for a loved one can become physically and emotionally overwhelming without support. Options Home Care helps family caregivers by providing reliable assistance with daily routines, supervision, transportation to appointments, meal preparation, companionship, and personal care.

This support allows family members to step back from constant caregiving responsibilities while still staying actively involved in their loved one’s care. Families gain peace of mind knowing someone dependable is there to help their loved one remain safe and comfortable at home.

Our professional caregivers assist with personal care needs such as bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility, toileting, and meal preparation while treating every client with dignity and respect. Beyond physical assistance, caregivers also provide companionship and meaningful daily interaction that helps reduce isolation and create a stronger sense of comfort at home.

Consistent support from compassionate caregivers can make everyday routines easier while helping seniors feel more confident, secure, and engaged in daily life.

Live-in care involves one primary caregiver staying in the home and providing support throughout the day and evening. They assist with personal care, companionship, meals, medication reminders, transportation, mobility support, and light housekeeping while remaining available overnight if needed.

With 24-hour care, caregivers rotate in shifts so someone remains awake and actively providing care at all hours of the day and night.

At Options Home Care, many families prefer live-in care because it creates greater consistency and familiarity. Seniors build a relationship with the same caregiver rather than adjusting to multiple rotating caregivers throughout the week. This consistency can create a calmer, more comfortable experience at home.

We also support clients returning home after a hospital stay by helping coordinate the transition and building care around their recovery and daily needs. For many families in Wake County, live-in care offers dependable support while helping loved ones remain comfortable in their own homes.

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:

  • Bathing
  • Dressing
  • Toileting
  • Transferring, such as moving from bed to chair
  • Eating
  • Continence


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 in-home senior 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.

At Options Home Care, we accept private pay, long-term care insurance, and Medicare Part C Advantage Plans.

Long-term care insurance is designed to help cover extended support with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. These policies are usually purchased in advance, often earlier in life, and are intended for ongoing care rather than short-term medical treatment.

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.

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 in-home senior care services.

To qualify, veterans must:

  • Be registered for VA health benefits
  • Complete an assessment with a VA physician to determine care needs
  • Receive approval for in-home senior care services
  • Be assigned a VA social worker who then coordinates care with Options Home Care


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 in-home senior care costs depending on service history, discharge status, care needs, and financial guidelines.
