Care Overview
Companion Care
A clear summary of what this service includes and who it supports — written for families making care decisions.
RN-led care team
Companion care from Cottage Home Care brings warmth, conversation, and meaningful connection to seniors and adults who want to remain independent at home. A trained companion visits regularly to share hobbies, accompany your loved one on errands, prepare light meals, and provide social engagement that helps prevent loneliness. Unlike clinical home health, companion care focuses on emotional wellbeing, safety, and daily quality of life — with light housekeeping, medication reminders, and transportation available as needed. Cottage matches each client with a screened caregiver backed by an RN-led care team. As needs evolve, personal care can be added without switching agencies. For qualifying families, companion care may be covered under Medicaid at no out-of-pocket cost. Cottage serves families across 6+ states with flexible scheduling and a free consultation to help you understand coverage before care begins.

What Is Companion Care
More Than a Caregiver A True Friend
As people spend more time at home, feelings of loneliness and concerns about safety can grow. A visit from a caring Cottage Home Care companion brings warmth, reassurance, and meaningful connection to each day helping clients feel supported, engaged, and less alone.
Our companion caregivers are experienced, compassionate, and backed by a dedicated care team to ensure high-quality support. They provide personalized one-on-one attention sharing conversations, enjoying favorite activities, and offering light assistance around the home.
As needs change, Cottage can easily add personal care services such as help with bathing, dressing, and meal preparation so your loved one can continue living safely and independently at home. For qualifying families, companion care may also be covered under most Medicaid plans at no cost.
