Caring for a Loved One Alone Can Feel Overwhelming

You want to help, but you can’t be there every hour of every day. So many families find themselves in this exact situation. You’re not alone, and this is exactly why we offer quality home care in Bridgewater for seniors.

At Cottage Caregivers, we’ve spent decades helping Bridgewater families navigate this transition. We’re not a corporate franchise. We’re a locally owned agency that treats every client the way we’d want our own parents treated: with patience, respect, and genuine care.

The right home care doesn’t just give your loved one support. It gives your whole family peace of mind.

When an aging parent needs daily assistance but wants to stay in the home they know and love, finding the right support can feel daunting. Our in-home care services are designed to help seniors live safely and comfortably at home while easing the physical and emotional strain on families.

Care is shaped around real life, not rigid schedules. From light daily help to continuous support, we focus on preserving routines, familiarity, and dignity while providing families with dependable reassurance.

"Their Care Made All the Difference"

Stories From Local Families

Cottage Caregivers was truly a blessing at a very difficult time. We live out of state and needed 24 hour support for my elderly parents who didn't want to leave their home. Cottage Caregivers came in immediately to assess the situation and were able to quickly provide live-in care and support. Their staff was professional, genuinely thoughtful and attentive to my parents' needs and communication with Karen and Sean was easy. I'd strongly recommend Cottage Caregivers.

Dan Camardo

We are incredibly grateful to Cottage Caregivers for the remarkable care they provided for our elderly parents over the last five plus years. The staff was not only professional and compassionate but went above and beyond to match caregivers to our parents' unique needs. They took the time to find the right fit, and as a result, we were blessed with some of the very best caregivers anyone could hope for. These amazing individuals didn't just meet our parents' physical needs, they cared for them with love, respect, and dignity.

Rose Doherty

Cottage Caregivers is an incredible company with compassionate and dedicated caregivers. Working for this agency has truly been an amazing experience. The administration is organized and supportive, putting the caregiver and client above all else. The staff is filled with individuals that go above and beyond to ensure the best care, and the clients are lovely people to work with. I would highly recommend joining the Cottage Caregivers team to anyone looking for a meaningful work experience.

Quinn Carroll

I can't say enough about Cottage Caregivers. As a time when we needed help, they were there in an instant. From the moment I picked up the phone to call Cottage Caregivers, I knew they were special. Karen talked to me about my Mom as if she was a family member. Each caregiver is like family as well. They truly care for my Mom, with love, respect, kindness, and a true purpose for helping our family. They are absolute angels. I don't know what we would have done without them. Thank you Cottage Caregivers. You are without a doubt, life savers.

Cathy Savage

My family and I recently needed to arrange 24/7 care for my aunt very quickly. A Place for Mom recommended Cottage Caregivers and their director Karen Carroll not only contacted me immediately, but was able to mobilize a team of caregivers on very little notice. Circumstances changed and we ended up not needing the 24/7 care, but I was so impressed by their efficiency and compassion that I would definitely utilize their services down the road should the need arise.

Christine McCarthy

Thank you Cottage Caregivers for the outstanding, reliable, and professional senior care! My grandfather was well taken care of, while Karen was beyond flexible working alongside my family in order to find a perfect schedule for us! Tomeika, specifically, quickly became my grandfather’s most trusted and favorite caregiver, and for that there are not enough kind words to say. She is a leading example of someone who takes pride in their work and is absolutely in this field for the right reasons! Thank you Cottage Caregivers, as a whole! We will always remember and appreciate this experience.

Kara Arico

I'm so lucky to be a caregiver for Cottage Caregivers; as the clients I work with (who I have come to love like my own family) are bright spots in my life! I know they and their families have shown me the real meaning of devotion, compassion and love. I look forward to seeing my them every day!

Martha Armstrong

The staff and management is superb at Cottage Caregivers. They are very accommodating and flexible. We used them for my father when he needed some help and they were able to take care of his needs with coverage that was best for him. Can't say enough good things about them. Highly recommended for anyone looking to have someone help out with an elderly parent.

Brian Forde

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do You Find the Right Caregiver for My Loved One?

We start with a detailed conversation about your loved one’s needs, routines, and personality. From there, we match them with a caregiver who has the right experience and training, but also the right temperament and approach. Our goal is to create a relationship built on trust and genuine compatibility. If the match doesn’t feel right, we’ll find someone who does.

What Types of Daily Support Can Caregivers Provide?

Our caregivers help with a wide range of non-medical daily living tasks, including bathing, dressing, grooming, and personal hygiene assistance. Mobility support and safe transfers. Meal planning and preparation. Medication reminders (though not administration). Light housekeeping and laundry. Transportation to appointments, errands, and social activities.

Every care plan is customized. We focus on what your loved one actually needs, and we adjust as those needs evolve over time.

How Will I Receive Updates About Their Care?

After each visit, our caregivers leave detailed notes about how your loved one is doing, what activities they engaged in, any concerns to be aware of, and how their mood and energy seemed that day. If anything significant comes up, we’ll reach out directly.
