When To Consider Hourly Senior Home Care in Wake County

What Families Are Saying

We use Options for my father-in-law who resides in an assisted living facility. Not only are they very caring and attentive, every one of their caregivers has formed a personal bond with him and go above and beyond their duty sending us photos and keeping us involved when we can't be there.

It’s a great relief knowing that I can take a break while my mother is in caring, confident hands with her nurses from Options. It is also comforting to know that her case manager has been available for many discussions about mom’s needs and services which supports us as caregivers. Their support has enabled us to keep mom happy knowing that she is with family and us happy knowing Options has our backs!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We support seniors throughout Wake County, including Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Garner, Wake Forest, Fuquay-Varina, and Holly Springs.

At Options Home Care in Wake County, we accept both private pay and long-term care insurance.

Long-term care insurance helps 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.

ADLs are the basic self-care tasks someone needs to manage in order to live independently: bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring (like moving from bed to chair), eating, and continence.

ADLs are important because many insurance and benefits programs use ADLs to decide eligibility. In fact, most long-term care insurance requires help with at least two ADLs before benefits kick in, and some veterans’ programs require three. If you’re noticing your loved one struggling with these tasks, we can help assess where they stand and what coverage or next steps might apply.

The difference is simply how many hours a caregiver is scheduled for. With our hourly home care services, your caregiver comes for set blocks of time, like a few hours in the morning or a few evenings a week. If your loved one needs in-home care support all day and night, we schedule enough shifts back-to-back to provide round-the-clock care.

Yes. Every caregiver with Options Home Care in Wake County goes through thorough background checks, reference checks, and ongoing training before working with any of our Wake County families. Depending on the level of support needed, your loved one may be cared for by certified nursing assistants or a trained home health aide, all delivering professional care.

We know needs often come up fast, especially after a fall, a hospital discharge, or a sudden change in health. We work to get a caregiver in place quickly, and every case starts with a personalized care plan around your loved one’s needs. We also make it easy to loop in family caregivers who want to stay involved, so your loved one’s quality of life stays the priority from day one.

Getting started with Options Home Care in Wake County is very simple. Call us or fill out our contact form, and we’ll walk you through home health care costs, answer any questions you have about health insurance coverage, and help you understand what in-home care costs look like for your specific situation.

If your loved one just needs companion care for a short visit, some light housekeeping, or a helping hand over a weekend, we can accommodate that. This isn’t just a service we tack on as an afterthought; it’s built into how we schedule in-home senior care.

At Options Home Care in Wake County, our caregivers offer personal care, which includes bathing, helping them get dressed, and hygiene support, along with fall prevention, safe repositioning, and wandering prevention for seniors with memory concerns. Medication reminders help seniors manage their daily prescriptions, and daily support also includes grocery shopping, light meal preparation, and help getting to and from medical appointments. If your loved one needs occasional support or full home health care services, our goal is to help them stay safe and comfortable at home — and hourly care is more cost-effective than assisted living facilities, often allowing families to delay or avoid that move altogether. With the number of Americans aged 65+ expected to reach 82 million by 2050, more families than ever are turning to in-home care as a practical, trusted way to support aging loved ones.
