About COTTAGE

Specialized care provides seniors and individuals with complex health needs the support they need to live safely and comfortably at home.

How It All Began

A Family's Vision, A Community's Mission

Cottage Home Care has provided trusted in-home care since 2019, starting in New York and now serving families across 6+ states. The goal from day one was simple: let people stay in their own homes—keeping their language, food, and daily routines—instead of moving into a facility.

Today our home care services reach more than 5,000 clients, delivered by over 15,000+ caregivers. We offer home health aide support, personal care assistance with bathing, grooming, and daily living, and skilled nursing from registered and licensed nurses.

We also help families navigate the programs that pay for care. Through Community First Choice, a family member can be recognized and paid as the caregiver. We offer Managed Long Term Care, Medicaid home care, and private pay with no lengthy intake process.

What Drives Us

Our Mission, Vision & Values

Everything we do begins with a clear sense of purpose — and an unshakeable commitment to the people we serve.

We Exist to Serve Families at Life's Most Vulnerable Moments

Our mission is to provide safe, high-quality, compassionate home care that enables individuals to live with independence and dignity in the comfort of their own homes.

We accomplish this by hiring only caregivers who share our core belief that every client deserves to be treated as family — with patience, respect, and unwavering attention.

We are not just a staffing agency. We are a care partner for the long term — supporting families through recovery, aging, chronic illness, and everything in between.

How We Hire

Would You Let This Caregiver Into Your Mother's Home?

Before we place anyone in a client's home, we ask one question: would we trust this person to care for our own parent? If the answer isn't an immediate and confident yes, that applicant doesn't get hired — period.

Our rigorous selection process means we turn away more than 95% of applicants. The result? A team of caregivers who are not just qualified, but genuinely exceptional human beings.

Multi-stage interviews— personality and values assessment, not just skills
Comprehensive background checks— criminal, employment, and reference verification.
Health screening & immunization verification— for client and caregiver protection
Skills assessment & hands-on training— 40+ hours before first placement
Cultural competency training— to serve our region's diverse communities.
Ongoing performance reviews— regular check-ins and client feedback loops
Caregiver support programs— because well-supported caregivers provide better care.
Who Qualifies

Caring for Families Since 2019

Cottage Home Care has delivered compassionate in-home care since 2019, when we began as a single office in Freeport, New York. More than 6+ years later, we're a multi-state care provider with 9 offices across 6+ states, 15,000+ caregivers, and over 5,000 clients served. We're a mission-driven home care company — and that mission shapes everything, from how we match caregivers to how we support the families who depend on us.

We match caregivers to your language, food, and traditions. For a lot of our families, this is the whole reason they call us: a caregiver who can cook the meals your mother grew up on, or talk through medication in your first language, changes what the day feels like. And we build care around your schedule, not ours—part-time, full-time, or 24/7 live-in, plus extra free hours beyond your plan. Some families need a few hours a week; others need someone there overnight.
