OPTIONS Program

The OPTIONS Program is a state-funded initiative offered by Pennsylvania to help older adults who need assistance with daily living tasks but may not qualify for Medicaid. At BDC Home Care, we proudly provide care under this program to ensure that seniors aged 60 and older can continue living safely and comfortably at home. The OPTIONS Program is an excellent solution for those who require in-home support but wish to retain their independence and avoid nursing home placement.

Flexible Support for Everyday Living

As individuals age, even simple tasks like cooking, cleaning, or bathing can become more difficult. The OPTIONS Program is designed to fill that gap — offering reliable assistance while allowing seniors to remain in their own homes. Our services through this program may include personal care, light housekeeping, laundry assistance, meal preparation, and help with mobility or hygiene. These supports are structured to ease the strain of daily routines, making each day safer and more manageable for both clients and their families.

Designed for Those Who Need Just a Little Help

What makes the OPTIONS Program unique is its accessibility and flexibility. It’s available to individuals regardless of income, although services are often offered on a sliding scale based on a person’s financial situation. This allows many older adults who don’t qualify for Medicaid to still receive the essential care they need. It is ideal for those who may only need a few hours of support each week — enough to improve quality of life while preserving personal independence.

Promoting Comfort and Peace of Mind

At BDC Home Care, we know that care is about more than just meeting physical needs — it’s also about emotional support, companionship, and confidence. Our caregivers work with each client to build trusting relationships while helping with the practical aspects of daily life. Family members benefit too, knowing their loved ones are receiving professional and respectful care in the comfort of their own home.

Your Partner in Aging Well at Home

If you or a loved one is beginning to need help with daily living but still values independence, the OPTIONS Program can be the perfect choice. BDC Home Care is here to guide you through the application process, explain service options, and create a plan that fits your needs. Together, we can make aging at home easier, safer, and more fulfilling.
