Home Care in Swansea
Care for Your Loved One, Peace of Mind for You
In-Home Senior Care That Keeps Swansea Loved Ones Safe at Home
When the person you love starts having a harder time managing on their own, you want to help, but you can’t always be there. That’s where Cottage Caregivers steps in, with home care in Swansea for seniors across Bristol County who want to stay in the home they know.
Many of the seniors we support have spent decades in the same Swansea home, whether that’s a cottage near the water in Ocean Grove or a family house up in North Swansea. Those older homes bring narrow stairs, tight bathrooms, and layouts that get harder to manage with age. Our caregivers help your loved one stay safe and comfortable right where they are.
With over a decade of experience across southeastern Massachusetts, including the families we care for in Middleborough, we build care around your loved one’s real life to protect your peace of mind and their independence.
"We will forever be grateful to Cottage Caregivers for the sincere and lasting impact they had on our family."

Flexible Support That Adjusts with Your Needs
Life doesn’t stay the same, and neither should a care plan. We offer services across a range of needs, the same care our team delivers in Swansea and through our home care in Bridgewater, ready to grow or shift as your loved one’s situation changes:
Alzheimer's & Dementia Care
Specialized memory care for seniors living with Alzheimer's or dementia, built on calm routines, fall prevention, and a patient presence that keeps your loved one safe and grounded at home.
24-Hour Home Care
Continuous support from caregivers working in shifts, so someone is always awake and attentive, day or night, for a loved one who shouldn't be alone.
Live-In Care
A dedicated caregiver who lives in the home, helping with personal care, meals, medication reminders, and mobility while your loved one stays in familiar surroundings.
Overnight Care
Nighttime support for seniors who need help after dark, from getting ready for bed to bathroom assistance and reassurance if they wake during the night.
Care Can Start Within a Day of Your Call
When a parent has a fall or comes home from the hospital, care often can’t wait days. In many situations we can have a caregiver in place within 24 hours, and because our caregivers already know the area, from Gardners Neck Road in South Swansea to the north end off Route 6, they reach your loved one fast without cutting corners on the match.
10+ Years in Caregiving: Why Families Trust Us
Choosing home care for a parent is not a decision you make on vague promises. Swansea families choose Cottage Caregivers for what we do differently, backed by a decade of caregiving, 100+ caregivers on staff, and service across 50+ towns, from Swansea north to Foxborough.
Here is what sets our care apart:
- RN-written care plans, not a scheduler’s checklist. Founded by Amy McDonnell, RN, BSN, every plan is built by a nurse with nearly 28 years of experience.
- Our own staff, never subcontractors. The caregiver in your loved one’s home is our employee, cleared through state and national background checks, license verification, and a competency exam.
- Trained for what worries you most. Every caregiver completes our Family Caregiver Education Series, so memory loss, fall risks, and other hard moments are handled by people who know what to do.
- A First Caregiver Session Guarantee. If the first match isn’t the right fit, we make it right.
- Recognized and accountable. A Vizient 2024 awardee and 2017 Best Home Care Agency, with post-shift updates and a Veterans Assist Program for those who served.
- For Swansea families, from Swansea Village to Touisset, that means consistent, nurse-guided care from a team that knows the community.
Our Step-By-Step Home Care Process
Getting care in place is simple, and a registered nurse guides it from the first conversation. Here’s how it works:
- We Start With an In-Home Assessment
We sit down with you and your loved one at home in Swansea for a no-pressure conversation, using a detailed needs questionnaire and almost 28 years of nursing and in-home care experience to understand daily routines, health needs, and what would help most. - A Registered Nurse Writes the Care Plan
Everything we learn goes to our RN, who builds a care plan around your loved one’s health, schedule, and comfort. It is a clinical document that makes the care fit from day one. - Matched on Fit, Not Just Availability
We choose a caregiver from our own vetted team, the same staff who support families in Carver and across the region, matched to your loved one on both care needs and personality, not just who happens to be available. - You Stay in the Loop, Every Shift
Caregivers leave a detailed voice message after each visit, and our scheduling software lets you track care, view invoices, and coordinate with the rest of the family online. Management checks in, and we adjust the plan as your loved one’s needs change.

Questions Families Often Ask About Home Care
How much does home care cost in Swansea?
Cost depends on how many hours you need and the level of care, from a few visits a week to live-in support. As we do for families from Swansea to Plymouth, we walk you through the numbers in a free, no-pressure consultation, so there are no surprises later.
Does Medicare or MassHealth cover in-home care in Massachusetts?
Medicare usually doesn’t cover non-medical home care, but some families qualify for help through MassHealth, long-term care insurance, or VA benefits. We’ll help you figure out what applies before you commit to anything.
Can veterans in the Swansea area get help paying for care?
Yes. Through our Veterans Assist Program, we help veterans and their spouses access benefits that can offset the cost of in-home care.
Do you help seniors coming home from Charlton Memorial or Saint Anne's?
We do this often. We coordinate care around a Fall River hospital discharge so your loved one has support waiting the day they get back home to Swansea.
Can you match a caregiver who speaks Portuguese?
Language and cultural fit matter, especially in this part of the South Coast. Tell us if your parent is more comfortable in Portuguese or another language, and we’ll make it a priority when we match their caregiver.
