Services combine easily with companion care for social engagement and light household support. Many families qualify for Medicaid-funded personal care at little or no cost, and Cottage handles eligibility guidance on your behalf.

What Is Personal Care
Hands-On Support That Preserves Dignity
Personal care services provide direct, hands-on assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) — the essential tasks that help a person maintain their hygiene, health, and independence at home.
When these daily tasks become difficult or unsafe to do alone, a personal care aide provides the exact level of help needed — doing only what is necessary, always preserving your loved one's privacy and dignity.
Personal care is covered under most Medicaid plans and is one of the most requested services we provide.
