Trusted, background-screened caregivers, clear Florida Medicaid guidance, and flexible private-pay care for Pasco County families, all coordinated by Cottage Home Care's Florida team.
Request care in Pasco County
Cottage Home Care helps seniors and adults with disabilities across Pasco County stay safely at home, from the Gulf-side neighborhoods of New Port Richey and Hudson to the fast-growing suburbs of Wesley Chapel and the historic streets of Dade City. For many families, remaining in a familiar home, surrounded by their own routines and the Tampa Bay community they know, is far better than moving to a nursing home or assisted living facility. We make that possible with dependable help for daily life: bathing, dressing, grooming and mobility, companionship, light housekeeping, laundry and meals, specialized Alzheimer's and dementia memory care, and around-the-clock or live-in support.
From your very first call, our Florida care team walks Pasco County families through Florida Medicaid, specifically the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care program (SMMC-LTC), a statewide program that can cover in-home care at little to no out-of-pocket cost for those who qualify. We explain what the program covers, check eligibility, and handle the paperwork with you. In many cases, a qualified family member or trusted friend can be hired and paid to provide the care through Florida's participant-directed options, so the person your loved one trusts most can be the one helping. Every caregiver we coordinate is trained and background-screened for your peace of mind.
If you would rather not wait on an eligibility determination, our private-pay option lets care begin quickly, often within about 24 hours. Schedules are flexible to fit real life in Pasco County, whether you need a few hours of companionship each week in Zephyrhills, overnight coverage in Land O' Lakes, or full-time live-in support. There is no eligibility wait and no long approval process, just reliable care arranged on your timeline.
Cottage Home Care proudly serves families across Pasco County, including Dade City, New Port Richey, Zephyrhills, Port Richey, Land O' Lakes, Wesley Chapel, Hudson, and Holiday.
Cities we serve in Pasco County
Florida's SMMC-LTC program is statewide, which means Pasco County families qualify for the same in-home care benefits available anywhere in Florida. You do not need a local storefront on US 19 or in Dade City to get help; Cottage coordinates care throughout the county, from Port Richey and Holiday on the Gulf coast to Wesley Chapel and San Antonio inland, all managed by our Florida care team.
Understanding SMMC-LTC can feel overwhelming, so we do the heavy lifting for Pasco County residents at no charge. Our team checks whether you qualify, explains your benefits in plain language, and completes the paperwork with you, so a family in Zephyrhills or New Port Richey can focus on their loved one instead of navigating the system alone.
Through Florida's participant-directed Medicaid options, a qualified family member or close friend in Pasco County can often be hired and paid to provide care. That means the daughter in Land O' Lakes or the neighbor in Hudson who already helps can be trained, background-screened, and compensated for the care they give, keeping support in trusted hands.
When you cannot wait for an eligibility decision, our private-pay service can begin in about 24 hours for Pasco County families. Choose hourly, overnight, or live-in care on a flexible schedule, with no eligibility wait, whether you are in a Wesley Chapel townhome or a longtime family house in Dade City.
Most Florida families use Medicaid to cover home care. Others start privately within 24 hours. One free call and we’ll tell you which path fits — no obligation.
