What Families Experience Day to Day With Our Services

Many families describe practical improvements once home care is established. Tasks are handled consistently, routines are supported, and concerns about safety are easier to manage.

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.

Questions Families Ask When Considering Home Care

How soon can home care begin?

Many families are able to start home care within about 48 hours. We assess needs, recommend a plan, and coordinate schedules quickly when support is needed.

Are your home care professionals qualified?

All team members complete background checks and training in personal care, dementia communication, safety procedures, and emergency protocols. Supervisors provide ongoing oversight.

Does insurance help cover home care?

Medicare typically does not cover non-medical home care. Some families use long-term care insurance, veteran benefits, or private pay. Costs and options are explained clearly during the consultation.

How do you decide who provides care?

We take time to learn about your loved one’s personality, routines, and needs before suggesting a match. Adjustments are made quickly if needed.

Can the care plan change over time?

Yes. Home care is designed to evolve. Hours, services, and schedules can be adjusted as needs change.

How much does home care cost?

Costs depend on hours, services, and level of care. During your consultation, we provide a clear estimate with no hidden fees.

When Caring for Them Starts to Feel Like Too Much

You may have noticed changes that raise concern. Tasks feel harder, routines slip, or the house no longer feels as safe as it once did. You want your loved one to stay at home, but you also want reassurance.

For decades, we’ve helped families work through these moments with practical guidance and realistic care plans. There is no pressure, only support.
