Because home is where seniors belong.
Having earned the Best of Senior Care award for 10 consecutive years, our team has built a reputation around steady, reliable support that families tend to come back to year after year. A lot of that trust just comes from being consistent and showing up when people actually need help.

It is our passion to offer affordable home care for seniors. Our aides have 5 to 30 years of experience and have been with our agency 5 to 18 years.
24/7 care in the comfort of home, ensuring safety and companionship.
Assisting seniors with all ADLs including bathing, grooming, mobility and more.
Personalized care can genuinely change day-to-day life for seniors. At Options Home Care, services are shaped around real needs, not a fixed routine that stays the same no matter what.
Beyond help with daily tasks, caregivers often end up becoming familiar faces in the home. And over time, it’s usually the small things that matter most, conversations, routines, even just being there quietly, that bring comfort and a sense of calm support.

Our service area includes:
Home health care is more clinical and usually handled by licensed medical professionals. It can include nursing visits, therapy, and recovery-based care tied to specific health conditions.
In-home senior care in Cary, NC is more about everyday living support. Things like help with bathing, meals, mobility, companionship, toileting, memory support, and general day-to-day routines so someone can stay safely at home.
At Options Home Care, the main goal is helping seniors stay comfortable where they are, without rushing them into anything. Care plans aren’t rigid either, they shift as things change, sometimes gradually, sometimes quickly.
We also step in during hospital discharges or sudden changes, which honestly can feel like a lot for families. Sometimes it’s just a short stretch of help, other times it continues longer, and we adjust as we go instead of locking things in too early.
Overall, it’s less about clinical structure and more about keeping daily life steady, comfortable, and manageable at home.
In many cases, care can begin within 24 to 48 hours. It really depends on what kind of support is needed and whether a caregiver is available right away.
When there is a hospital discharge or an urgent situation, things usually move faster. Our team looks at the situation, gathers the details, and helps put support in place without unnecessary waiting.
We take time to understand what the client actually needs, build a care plan around that, and match them with a caregiver who is a good fit. The goal is to keep the transition as smooth as possible, especially during stressful moments.
Yes. Options Home Care serves families across Cary and nearby communities such as Raleigh, Apex, Wake Forest, Garner, Holly Springs, Morrisville, and Fuquay-Varina.
Care is adjusted based on each household. Some people need daily hands-on assistance, while others only need a few hours of help or companionship during the week. It really depends on the situation.
Home care allows seniors to stay in familiar surroundings while still getting the support they need day to day. For many people, being at home just feels more natural and comfortable than moving into a facility.
Care might include personal assistance, meal preparation, mobility support, companionship, or help around the house. The idea is not to take over, but to step in where needed while still encouraging independence.
Over time, this kind of support can help maintain routines, reduce stress, and keep daily life feeling more stable.
Caring for a loved one can be meaningful, but it can also become exhausting over time, especially when combined with work and other responsibilities.
Family caregivers often end up doing everything themselves without realizing how much strain that creates.
Our caregivers help share that load by stepping in with personal care, meals, transportation, companionship, and supervision when needed. This gives family members space to breathe while still staying involved in care decisions.
It is really about balance, not replacement.
Caregivers assist with daily personal needs like bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility, toileting, and meals. These tasks are handled with patience and respect, always keeping dignity in mind.
But it is not only about physical help. There is also regular conversation, companionship, and emotional support, which can make a big difference in how the day feels.
Over time, this mix of practical help and human connection often helps seniors feel more secure and less isolated at home.
Live-in care means one caregiver stays in the home and provides support throughout the day based on what is needed. This can include meals, personal care, reminders, transportation, and light household help. The caregiver is also available overnight if something comes up.
Twenty-four-hour care works differently because professional caregivers rotate in shifts, so someone is always awake and actively monitoring care needs.
Many families prefer live-in care because it feels more consistent. One caregiver gets to know routines, preferences, and personality over time, which often creates a more comfortable experience.
We also help families after hospital stays or rehab, where care needs can change quickly. The focus stays on safety, comfort, and stability at home.
Activities of Daily Living, or ADLs, are basic tasks people do every day to take care of themselves and stay independent. These include:
These are often used to determine eligibility for long-term care support programs.
Most long-term care insurance policies require help with at least two ADLs before benefits begin. Some veterans’ programs may require assistance with three.
If someone is starting to struggle with these tasks, our team can help assess the situation and walk families through available care options and coverage steps.
Yes. We accept both private pay and long-term care insurance, depending on what works best for the family.
Long-term care insurance is meant to help cover ongoing daily support needs like bathing, dressing, mobility, and personal care. It is different from standard health insurance, which focuses more on medical treatment.
We also help families with the paperwork side of things since it can get confusing quickly. That includes verification, claims, documentation, and reimbursement support.
Many veterans may qualify for help through the VA Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care program. This benefit supports eligible veterans who want to remain at home while still receiving help with daily tasks like bathing, grooming, meals, light housekeeping, and mobility support.
As an approved VA community care provider, Options Home Care can deliver services authorized through the Department of Veterans Affairs, allowing veterans to receive care at home.
To qualify, veterans generally need to:
Once approved, we coordinate with the VA team to set up a care plan that fits the veteran’s needs. We also help families understand the steps along the way.
Some veterans and surviving spouses may also qualify for additional programs such as VA Aid and Attendance, depending on eligibility.
