Why Cottage

Why Families Choose Us

CHAP Certified BadgeTop Rated BadgeLicensed BadgeBBB Accredited Business, A+ Rating

  1. We Know Maryland Home Care

    Maryland home care can feel confusing. There are care needs to think about, plus payment choices and program rules to sort out. We walk Montgomery County families through Community First Choice and the Community Options Waiver, along with private pay. Everything stays in plain language, so you understand what applies before you ever call.

  2. We Build a Plan Around You

    Every family is different. We start by learning about your relative's day, including what tasks need help and what they would rather keep doing themselves. We also ask about routine, schedule, and language preference where we can confirm it. From there, we build a plan around your family, not a generic template made for someone else.

  3. Our Caregivers Are Carefully Chosen

    Caregivers go through Cottage's screening steps first. This happens before they join a family's care team. Our team then looks at the person's needs. We also look at their routine, schedule, and likes. This helps us find a caregiver who fits well in a Montgomery County home.

  4. We Help You Understand Your Options

    Many Montgomery County families start out unsure if Medicaid or private pay fits them. They are also comparing local agencies. We explain what each option means. We also explain what Cottage handles and what Maryland and county offices decide. You leave the call with real information and a clear next step.

  5. Licensed in Maryland

    Cottage Home Care Maryland LLC holds RSA License No. 02496. The Maryland Department of Health gave us this license. Their Office of Health Care Quality issued it. We are licensed as a residential service agency. This license covers the non-medical care we give to Montgomery County families.

Maryland Community First Choice (CFC)

Community First Choice is a Maryland Medicaid benefit. It helps pay for home care instead of care in a facility. There is no age limit. But you must already have full Medicaid. You must also need an institutional level of care. This is not the same as skilled nursing. It means your relative needs a level of daily help usually given in a facility. Services can include personal care help and meals delivered to the home. Montgomery County AERS may handle the required medical check. Once CFC is approved, our caregivers can walk you through your day-to-day plan.

Community Options Waiver

The Community Options Waiver is also called the Home and Community-Based Options Waiver. It helps adults stay at home instead of in a nursing facility. It is for adults 18 and up. You must need a nursing facility level of care. You must also meet financial and technical rules. Right now, new community applicants join a waiting list. This is called the Community Options Waiver Registry. You join it through Maryland Access Point. When a spot opens, the state invites people from the list to apply. Waiver members also get Community First Choice benefits.

Private-Pay Home Care

Private pay lets your family start home care right away. You do not need to wait for a Medicaid decision. You pick the hours that fit your relative's day. This could be a few visits a week. It could also be more steady help. Private pay works well if Medicaid does not apply to you. It also works well if you want more flexible scheduling. Cost depends on the hours, schedule, and type of help needed. Ask our team for a current Montgomery County estimate.

FAQs

Home Care FAQs for Montgomery County Families

Still have a question?(667) 400-0648

Non-medical home care covers personal care, like bathing and dressing. It also covers meal prep, light housekeeping, and medication reminders. A caregiver can also offer company during visits. They help with safe movement around the home. This is not skilled nursing, wound care, or therapy. If your relative needs those services, ask about a licensed home health provider instead.

Start by checking a few things. Does the agency offer the care your relative needs? Is it properly licensed in Maryland? How are caregivers chosen and matched to a family? What schedule is realistic? How are costs explained, and what happens when needs change? Comparing these answers helps more than comparing names.

The cost depends on the hours, schedule, and type of help your relative needs. Private pay and Maryland Medicaid work differently for cost. We confirm current Montgomery County pricing during your consultation. This way, you get an accurate number for your plan.

Maryland Medicaid may pay for home care. This can happen through programs like Community First Choice or the Community Options Waiver. Maryland decides who qualifies. Montgomery County AERS may handle the required medical check. Not everyone with Medicaid gets home-care hours right away. Our team can explain Cottage's part once your relative is approved.

In some cases, yes. Some Maryland programs let a qualifying relative give paid, approved care. The rules depend on the program and how care is set up. Not every relative qualifies. This is different from regular employment. We cannot promise a specific setup, hours, or pay. Ask our team which paid family caregiver options may fit your family.

Yes. A caregiver can help with bathing, dressing, and meals. They can also help with light movement and tasks around the house. This helps your relative settle back home. This is non-medical help, not skilled nursing or therapy. If your relative still needs wound care or physical therapy, they may need a licensed home health provider too.

We serve Silver Spring, Rockville, Bethesda, Gaithersburg, Germantown, Wheaton, and Potomac. We also serve nearby areas like Takoma Park. Montgomery County is large, so help can vary by address. Tell us where you live, and we will confirm coverage.

Call or request a consultation. Describe the care needed, your relative's location, and whether Medicaid or private pay applies, if known. You do not need the exact program name first. Our team will explain Cottage's next step from there.
