Home Care for Veterans: What the VA’s Homemaker
Engaging activities like music, pets, crafts, and gentle exercise can reduce boredom and improve mood for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
When someone you love needs more help than you can provide alone, Options Home Care is here. We specialize in respite care for exhausted family caregivers and the critical first 72 hours after hospital discharge—the window when readmission risk is highest. From a few hours a week to 24/7 live-in care, we match you with caregivers who treat your family like their own.
Specialized support for Alzheimer’s and dementia—focused on safety, dignity, and quality of life.
72-hour post-discharge support to prevent readmissions and help your loved one recover safely at home.
Bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, mobility assistance—delivered with dignity and patience.
Rides to appointments, grocery shopping, pharmacy runs, and staying connected to the community.
Meal preparation, light housekeeping, conversation, and someone to share the day with.
Short-term relief for family caregivers—a few hours, a few days, or regular scheduled breaks.
Around-the-clock support for those who need someone there continuously.
As a long-term care pharmacist, I spent years supporting seniors in skilled nursing and assisted living facilities—ensuring safe medication practices and coordinating with care teams behind the scenes. While I loved the clinical side of medicine and continue to apply that expertise today, I felt a growing need to work more directly with families and the individuals receiving care. Home care gave me that opportunity.
What drew me to this work was the ability to have immediate impact—to see firsthand how the right support can improve someone’s quality of life and bring peace of mind to loved ones. It’s personal.
That is why it is our mission to provide dependable, personalized care that improves lives and brings peace of mind. Whether it’s through our own caregivers or by connecting you with the right resource elsewhere, we’re committed to doing what’s best for the families we serve. You can expect a hands-on team that communicates clearly, responds quickly, and always goes the extra mile.
Working with our Burlington office is straightforward: call to discuss needs, we confirm coverage and schedule an RN assessment before services begin.
Our service area includes:
Often the same day. We know the first 72 hours after discharge are critical, so we prioritize hospital-to-home transitions. Call us as soon as you know a discharge date and we’ll work to have a caregiver ready.
That’s exactly what respite care is for. Whether you need a few hours to yourself, a weekend away, or regular weekly breaks, we can provide coverage so you can recharge without worrying.
We serve all of Alamance County, including Burlington, Graham, Mebane, Elon, and surrounding areas.
Common signs include difficulty with bathing or dressing, forgetting medications, declining nutrition, increased falls, or you feeling overwhelmed as a caregiver. If you’re asking the question, it’s worth a conversation.
Cost depends on the level of care needed and hours per week. We provide a free in-home assessment and transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Call us to discuss your situation.
Whether you’re planning ahead, need respite care, or have a loved one coming home from the hospital this week—we’re here. No pressure, no obligation. Just a conversation about your situation and how we might help.
