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.
