In-Home Personal Care Services: Compassionate Care by Cottage Home Care
Cottage Home Care Services provides licensed, non-medical in-home personal care and daily living assistance for seniors and individuals with disabilities.

Key Overview: In-Home Personal Care at a Glance
- In-Home Support vs. Residential Care: Cottage Home Care Services delivers direct daily living assistance inside the client's home, preserving independence without facility placement.
- Core Assistance (ADLs): Non-medical support for activities of daily living, including personal hygiene, dressing, mobility, meal preparation, and light housekeeping.
- Strict Non-Medical Scope: Caregivers provide dedicated medication reminders, safety monitoring, and companionship (clinical administration and medical treatments are excluded).

- Personalized Matching: Caregivers are selected based on client care plans, language preferences, and cultural compatibility.
What is In-Home Personal Care?
In-home personal care provides dedicated, non-medical assistance for seniors and individuals with physical or cognitive challenges who require help with daily routines but do not need round-the-clock medical nursing facility care.
Unlike moving into a residential personal care home, receiving care directly at home allows individuals to retain their personal routines, privacy, and community connections while receiving one-on-one help with essential tasks.
