Home Care in Plymouth, MA

Support that keeps daily life safe, steady, and familiar.

Dependable in-home support for families along the South Shore.

When everyday responsibilities begin to feel unsafe or overwhelming, many families look for a way to protect independence without uprooting the life their loved one has built. Our non-medical home care services help older adults remain secure, comfortable, and supported at home.

We assist households throughout Plymouth, including areas near Downtown, Manomet, The Pinehills, Cedarville, and neighborhoods along Route 3A and State Road. Many homes in these areas feature multiple levels, long driveways, or coastal exposure, which can create added safety considerations during winter months. In-home consultations are typically arranged within 24 to 48 hours.

“We are incredibly grateful to Cottage Caregivers for the remarkable care they provided.” Rose D.

What Local Families Are Saying

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

Such a wonderful company to work for. The team is devoted to each client and really works to meet all their needs. I am a caregiver here and it is such a pleasure to work for such a compassionate and influential company!!

Emily Falvey

The Team at Cottage Caregivers was fantastic. They worked with us on finding the right people to fit my fathers personality. They made this transition very easy for form interviewing and billing. I highly recommend Cottage Caregivers for you home care needs.

Home Care Support Built for Everyday Life

Care should feel natural inside the home, not disruptive. We build care plans around movement, comfort, and the small routines that help seniors stay steady and confident.

Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care

Memory care focuses on familiar routines, calm cueing, and steady structure to reduce stress and help seniors feel secure.

24-Hour Care

24-hour support for seniors who need continuous supervision, including overnight safety monitoring, medication reminders, and regular assistance with mobility in larger or multi-level homes.

Live-In Care

A live-in arrangement provides consistent daytime help and companionship, with an overnight rest period when evenings are typically settled.

Overnight Care

Overnight care is designed for families who worry most about nighttime falls, disorientation, or wandering.

Choosing the Right Type of Home Care

Care Type Best Fit Coverage Style Helpful Note
24-Hour Care Ongoing supervision needs Awake coverage day and night Highest support level
Live-In Care Daytime routines that need steady help Daytime support with overnight rest Works best with calmer nights
Overnight Care Nighttime safety concerns Overnight supervision only Daytime support is separate
Hourly Care Extra help a few days per week Flexible scheduled visits Easy to build up over time

We look at fall risk, memory changes, and home setup, including staircases common in older Plymouth homes, bathroom access, and entryways that may become hazardous during coastal storms or icy conditions, before recommending the best care option.

Why Many Plymouth Families Choose Care at Home

Remaining at home allows seniors to stay close to familiar surroundings, neighbors, and daily rhythms, whether that means time near Plymouth Harbor, regular visits to local shops, or quiet routines in residential neighborhoods, while receiving individualized attention. Care is built around personal habits rather than institutional schedules.

  • Familiar spaces help reduce stress
  • One-on-one support increases consistency
  • Personalized routines enhance safety
  • Independence is preserved whenever possible

What Families Want to Know Before Getting Started

How soon can care begin?

After the initial consultation and assessment, services can often begin within a short timeframe depending on availability.

We evaluate nighttime safety, fall risk, and the level of assistance required to determine the safest option.

Yes. Support can range from a few weekly visits to full-day or continuous coverage.

Traditional Medicare generally does not cover ongoing non-medical home care. Payment options are reviewed clearly during planning.

Yes. Coverage can be adjusted as mobility, memory, or medical needs evolve.

If daily routines become difficult to manage safely, or if family schedules make consistent oversight challenging, additional support can help restore balance. Many Plymouth families reach out when navigating multi-level homes, coastal weather shifts, hospital discharges from Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital–Plymouth, or busy commuting patterns make daily caregiving more complex.

We provide straightforward guidance, schedule an in-home visit, and develop a plan that supports both safety and independence.
