Options For Senior America Corp. started providing home care services in late 1989 to the residents of the Washington, DC metropolitan area. What started as a handful of customers grew substantially due to the personal customer service that the company's management has always been keen to provide.
Today, OPTIONS, a non-medical home care organization, has several offices in the states of Georgia, Maryland, Ohio and Virginia, serves hundreds of families a year, and can extend its long-term live-in services to any region on the East Coast of the United States.
We are constantly screening candidates for care provider recruitment. We believe that it is essential to keep a readily available pool of good caregivers to choose from. Each and every applicant for a Home Health Aide position at OPTIONS undergoes a thorough screening process before they are added to our roster. We first conduct a face-to-face interview of each applicant by a senior staff member. During the interview, we determine the applicant's qualifications, assess their talents, and evaluate their interpersonal attributes and special skills. A competence test determines their level of knowledge, and a minimum of two relevant references must be thoroughly checked. All of these elements of the screening...

In general, live-in care is very expensive, and so it's hard to compare companies, since we only used Senior Options. Assisted Living has been a better long term solution for us. Senior Options was good for the short term.

Optimal responses to chaotic situations; when in the middle of crisis it's reassuring to know that you have someone to help formulate and implement your plan B. Daily life is difficult for us, simply with me being a full time caretaker for my wife, taking care of day to day living. However that also creates it's own challenge, when you find your self a single point of failure. Add to this volatile mix the impact of accumulated years on these old bones, and I woke one morning realizing that I had a ticking bomb. In keeping with life long training, I keep in mind Proper Prior Planning prevents P*ss Poor Performance, I knew I needed a change to the existing paradigm as sure as Thelma and Louise, I was headed over the cliff. That's where Options for Senior America comes in. From the start, working with [name removed] was like meeting a comfortable friend - the surprise was that it was the first time. She is great! Flexible and scalable solutions were worked out, and everything suddenly became calm. She offered experience and perspectives for what we had been thinking were unique showing us alternatives to address the challenges we were facing, as a single point of contact for all of these needs. By leveraging her experiences and bring to bear her skill sets demonstrating her expertise repeatedly and to good effect, [name removed] ook on the aspect of a Guardian Angel to help us with our insoluble problems. Without her skills and help, we would be floundering; now we have the kind quality and essential assistance we have been looking for. Kudos, Ms. [name removed].

My mother and I have been through a rough time finding dependable and reliable care givers for her. Doing it on your own is very hard because you don't know who to trust. (and we trusted the wrong people). I found a business card in the Post office with Options name and thought why not try...[Name removed] answered the phone and was so nice and transferred me to her boss, [name removed], she listened to my issues and trusted me she could find the right person (people) to help us. Well she did not lie! If one caregiver cannot come in than they send another. We have not had a caregiver we do not like, my mom loves them all. Highly recommend!

I have been worried about my mom having COPD, she lives alone and a hour or more away from us. The Branch manager and I have talked off and on for over a month, I finally had some time to meet with her and she actually traveled over an hour just to meet face to face. I was able to meet the two owners, brothers, that obviously know what they are doing to be hiring such skilled people. 30 years in business says a lot and the resources that the manager was able to give me were incredible. As a business owner myself I expect higher standards. I am getting that with Options! Feeling better knowing that Options will be there for my mom! Highly recommended!

They are flexible with hours and if my Mom is not happy with a caretaker, they will assign her a different one. I think the manager does a great job and I appreiate all that's being done for Mom's care.

Best customer service from [Name removed], the care coordinator, and [Name removed], the community relations manager. [Name removed] has dropped by several times to check up. Both caregivers assigned to my mother are excellent and the staff is very responsive.

Work Life Services at NSA gave us a few names of agencies. We contacted several and selected Options because of their price and 24/7 live-in service. They were professional and responsive to our needs and their caregivers were aware of their duties. The overall experience with Options was excellent.

We had a great experience with this home care agency. The caregivers that came out to the house were professional and personable . They were great companions. They made setting up the service easy and were very informative. I liked that I always spoke to a person when I called and not a recording. I would use this service again and I would recommend it.

We chose Options because of [Removed] who provided the best service and support of any agency. I love the personalized approach. Though one of the aides interaction with my mother was fair, the overall quality of the home care services is excellent. [Removed] represent the caring and professional values of the company. Their high standards of excellence reflect in the care provider. The customer service in meeting the complex and diverse needs of my family is exemplary.
