Because home is where seniors belong.
For 10 years in a row, we’ve received the Best of Senior Care award. Over time, that recognition has come to represent something pretty simple: showing up consistently, doing the work properly, and building real trust with families who keep coming back when life changes.
Options has been providing home care services for seniors in Wake County for over 20 years. We service Wake County and all surrounding counties in the Research Triangle area. 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.
At Options Home Care, we don’t really treat care as something rigid or overly structured. It tends to work better when it’s flexible and shaped around the person instead of forcing them into a set routine.
Every senior has their own rhythm at home. Some need more hands-on help, others just need someone checking in regularly. We adjust to that instead of trying to standardize everything.
Over time, caregivers usually stop feeling like “service providers” and start becoming familiar people in the home. That shift matters. It becomes about shared routines, familiar conversations, and someone who already understands how things are normally done. For many families, that steady presence brings a sense of calm they didn’t realize they were missing.
Donna Clark manages our Atlanta office and coordinates our caregivers and their schedules, making sure we have the right match for each of our seniors. She is a key employee of this office and has earned her seniority having worked at the Atlanta branch since 2002. During this time, Donna has mastered her ability to do an excellent job fulfilling her role.
Our service area includes:
Home health care is usually tied to medical treatment and is overseen by a physician. It often includes nursing visits, therapy sessions, wound care, medication support, and recovery-focused services after surgery or illness.
In-home senior care in Springs, NC works differently. It’s focused on everyday living rather than medical treatment. That includes help with bathing, dressing, meals, mobility, companionship, toileting, and memory support, while still encouraging independence where possible.
At Options Home Care, the focus is less about short episodes of care and more about helping people stay comfortably at home long-term. Care plans are built around real routines, and they naturally change as life changes.
We also step in during transitions, like when someone is discharged from the hospital or adjusting after a health setback. Sometimes that support is temporary, sometimes it continues longer. It really depends on the situation.
The goal is simple: keep home feeling stable, safe, and familiar.
In many cases, care can start within 24 to 48 hours. Sometimes it moves even faster when the situation is urgent and everything is in place.
When there’s been a hospital discharge or something unexpected, we usually shift quickly. We take time to understand what’s happening, figure out what kind of help is needed, and get services arranged without unnecessary delays.
From there, we build the care plan around daily life and match the person with a caregiver who fits not just the skill requirements, but also personality and communication style.
Yes. Options Home Care supports families across Holly Springs and nearby areas including Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, Morrisville, Garner, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, and surrounding communities.
Care isn’t fixed or identical for everyone. Some people need daily support, others only need occasional visits, and some just want companionship a few times a week. It really depends on what helps things run more smoothly at home.
Most seniors prefer staying at home because it feels familiar and grounded. Home care makes that possible by offering support without taking away control over daily life.
Caregivers may help with personal care, meals, mobility, companionship, or light household tasks. The idea is to support the routine, not take it over.
Over time, this kind of help often reduces stress and makes daily living feel more manageable, while still allowing seniors to stay in charge of their own space and pace.
Family caregiving often starts small, then slowly turns into something much bigger than expected.
Our professional caregivers step in to ease that pressure in practical ways. That might include help with personal care, meals, transportation, companionship, or supervision when needed.
It gives families space to breathe while still staying involved in important decisions and daily routines. Most people notice that things feel more balanced once support is in place.
Caregivers help with daily needs like bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, mobility, and meals. Everything is done with patience and respect, always keeping dignity at the center.
But the job isn’t only physical support. There’s also regular conversation, presence, and small moments of connection throughout the day.
For many seniors, that human interaction becomes just as important as hands-on care. Over time, it helps the home feel less quiet or isolating and more supported.
Live-in care means one caregiver stays in the home and helps throughout the day based on what’s needed. That can include meals, personal care, reminders, transportation, and light housekeeping, with overnight availability if something comes up.
24-hour care works differently because caregivers rotate in shifts, so someone is always awake and actively on duty.
Many families prefer live-in care because it feels more personal and consistent. Over time, having one caregiver builds familiarity, which helps reduce stress for the senior.
We also support families after hospital stays or rehab, when care needs can shift quickly and adjustments are often needed along the way.
Activities of Daily Living, often abbreviated as ADLs, are the routine personal care tasks that individuals perform to maintain their independence and overall well-being. Healthcare providers and insurance companies frequently use ADLs to assess a person’s need for long-term support. These activities generally include:
ADLs are commonly used when determining eligibility for care programs and insurance benefits. Most long-term care policies require help with at least two ADLs before benefits apply. Some veterans’ programs require three.
When these tasks become harder to manage, it’s usually a sign that extra support may help. We can help families figure out what level of care makes sense and what options are available.
Yes. Families can choose between private pay and long-term care insurance.
Long-term care insurance helps cover daily support needs like bathing, dressing, mobility, and personal care. It is different from standard health insurance, which focuses mainly on medical treatment.
We also help with the administrative side, including verifying benefits, opening claims, organizing paperwork, and assisting with reimbursements so families are not left dealing with it alone.
Many veterans qualify for support through the VA Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care program. This program provides non-medical care that helps veterans stay safely at home while receiving help with daily tasks such as bathing, grooming, meals, light housekeeping, and mobility support.
As a VA community care provider, Options Home Care can deliver approved services through this program, with coverage handled through VA benefits when eligible.
To qualify, veterans generally must:
Once approved, we work directly with the VA team so care stays consistent and aligned with the veteran’s needs. We also help families understand the process as it moves forward.
Some veterans and surviving spouses may also qualify for programs like VA Aid and Attendance, which can help offset costs depending on eligibility, service history, and financial situation.
