Florida Panhandle home care

Local, trusted care across Gadsden County

From the county seat of Quincy to the small towns tucked along the Georgia line, Cottage Home Care helps Gadsden County seniors and adults with disabilities stay right where they feel most comfortable—at home. For families across this close-knit Panhandle county, a nursing home or assisted-living facility is often the last thing a loved one wants. Our caregivers make it possible to age in place with dignity, providing hands-on personal care like bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility support, along with companionship, light housekeeping, laundry, home-cooked meals, specialized Alzheimer's and dementia memory care, and around-the-clock or live-in help when it's needed.

From your very first phone call, our Florida team walks you through Florida Medicaid—specifically the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care program (SMMC-LTC), a statewide benefit that reaches families in Quincy, Havana, Chattahoochee, and every corner of Gadsden County. For those who qualify, in-home care comes at little to no out-of-pocket cost, and in many cases a qualified family member or friend can be hired and paid to be the caregiver through Florida's participant-directed options. Every Cottage caregiver is thoroughly trained and background-screened, so your family gets peace of mind along with dependable help.

If you'd rather not wait on an eligibility determination, our private-pay option lets care begin quickly—often within about 24 hours. Schedules are built around your life, whether you need a few hours a week in Greensboro, overnight coverage in Gretna, or full-time live-in support in Midway. There's no eligibility wait and no long paperwork process—just flexible, reliable care on your terms.

Cottage Home Care proudly serves families throughout Gadsden County, including Quincy, Chattahoochee, Havana, Gretna, Greensboro, Midway, and Mount Pleasant.

Why Cottage Home Care

Why Gadsden County families choose us

  • Florida Medicaid that reaches Gadsden County

    Because the SMMC-LTC program is a statewide Florida Medicaid benefit, families in Gadsden County have the same access to Medicaid-funded in-home care as anyone in the state—no local office required. Whether your loved one lives in Quincy, Chattahoochee, or a rural stretch near Mount Pleasant, Cottage's Florida care team coordinates services that come to your door.

  • We handle the Florida Medicaid paperwork at no cost

    Navigating Florida Medicaid can feel overwhelming, especially for busy Gadsden County families juggling work and caregiving. Our team provides free eligibility screening and guidance, helps you gather and file the paperwork, and stays with you through the SMMC-LTC enrollment process—so you can focus on your loved one instead of the forms.

  • A loved one can be the paid caregiver

    Many Gadsden County families would rather have a trusted daughter, son, grandchild, or close friend providing care. Through Florida's participant-directed Medicaid options, a qualified family member or friend can often be hired and paid to be that caregiver—keeping care in the family while still delivering the training and support Cottage provides.

  • Private pay that starts fast

    When you can't wait on an eligibility decision, our private-pay option gets care started for Gadsden County families—often within about 24 hours. Choose hourly visits, overnight coverage, or live-in care in Havana, Gretna, or anywhere across the county, with flexible scheduling and no eligibility delay.
