Trusted, background-screened caregivers, clear Florida Medicaid guidance, and flexible private-pay care for Martin County families, all coordinated by Cottage's Florida care team.
Request care in Martin County
From the historic waterfront of downtown Stuart to the quiet neighborhoods of Palm City and Hobe Sound, Cottage Home Care helps Martin County seniors and adults with disabilities stay right where they are most comfortable, at home. Whether a loved one needs a hand with bathing and dressing, company through the day, or steady memory-care support, staying in a familiar home on the Treasure Coast is almost always safer, calmer, and less isolating than moving into a nursing home or assisted-living facility.
From your very first phone call, our Florida care team walks Martin County families through Florida Medicaid, specifically the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care program (SMMC-LTC), a statewide benefit that reaches Stuart, Jensen Beach, Indiantown, and every community in between. In many cases a qualified family member or trusted friend can be hired and paid to provide that care. Every caregiver we coordinate is trained and background-screened, so you can hand over care with confidence.
Not everyone wants to wait on an eligibility determination, and you don't have to. Our private-pay option lets Martin County families arrange hourly, overnight, or live-in care on a flexible schedule, often getting started in about 24 hours with no Medicaid approval required. You choose the hours, we handle the rest.
Cottage Home Care proudly serves families across Martin County, including Stuart, Palm City, Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound, Indiantown, Sewall's Point, and Port Salerno.
