In-home care across all of Suffolk County
Suffolk is New York's largest county by land area, and long distances don't stop us — Cottage Home Care schedules caregiver visits and assessments from Babylon and Huntington out to Islip and Riverhead.
We've supported New York families since 2019. Medicaid-funded HHA, PCA, and NHTD services cover the medical and personal-care side of aging or recovery at home; Private Pay fills in wherever insurance doesn't reach, on your schedule.
Built for Suffolk's size
Babylon, Huntington, Islip, Riverhead — Suffolk's long distances are our specialty, not your problem. Care arrives consistently, wherever on the island you live.
Every path, one roof
HHA, PCA, and the NHTD Waiver cover Medicaid-funded care; Private Pay fills in the moment insurance doesn't reach. Tell us your situation once and we match you to the right program.
Multilingual, multicultural caregivers
New York's neighborhoods speak dozens of languages at home. We match families with caregivers who share their language and cultural background whenever we can.
Paperwork handled for you
Eligibility reviews are always free. We help with the Medicaid application, coordinate the in-home assessment, and stay on your case once care begins.
