Our Home Care Services in NYC



Home Health Aide (HHA) & Personal Care Aide (PCA) Services


Our HHA/PCA services provide essential support to individuals who need assistance with daily activities, personal hygiene, medication management, meal preparation, and mobility support.

Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) Program


The NHTD Medicaid Waiver helps individuals transition from nursing homes back to their homes or prevent institutionalization by providing the necessary in-home care and community-based support. For individuals in New York City and surrounding counties like Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester, our team is dedicated to offering seamless transitions that prioritize dignity and well-being.



We assist with:



  • Transition planning for nursing home residents seeking to move back home or live in a community-based setting

If you or your loved one is currently in a nursing home and wants to transition home, our team will guide you through the NHTD application process and set up the right support services.



Private Pay Home Care Services


For those who do not qualify for Medicaid or prefer more flexible care options, our Private Pay services offer fully customizable home care solutions that provide flexibility and control. Families can choose the type and amount of care needed, ensuring the support is tailored to their specific situation.



We offer:



  • Flexible care schedules, including hourly, daily, or live-in care, to suit your needs

  • Highly trained caregivers who are experienced in providing in-home care for elderly clients, people recovering from surgery, or individuals with disabilities

  • Personalized assistance for seniors, disabled individuals, and those recovering from surgery

  • Companion care for emotional well-being and social support



Private Pay services allow families to have control over the type of care provided, without the limitations or eligibility restrictions that come with Medicaid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can companion care help a senior who lives alone and feels lonely?

Absolutely. Companion care is designed specifically for seniors who live alone and need regular social interaction, emotional support, and safe company. A trained companion caregiver visits regularly to talk, play games, go for walks, or simply be present — reducing loneliness and improving quality of life.

Is companion care right for someone with early-stage dementia?

Yes — companion care is often an ideal starting point for someone with early-stage dementia. A companion caregiver provides consistent routines, gentle engagement, and supervision that helps slow cognitive decline while keeping your loved one safe and stimulated at home.

Is companion care covered at no cost for Medicaid recipients?

In many states, companion care services are fully covered by Medicaid with no out-of-pocket cost to eligible clients. Cottage Home Care will verify your loved one's Medicaid coverage and explain exactly what is included at no cost to you.

Can companion care give family members a break from caregiving?

Yes — many families use companion care as respite care, allowing a daughter, son, or spouse to take a break from daily caregiving duties without worrying about their loved one being alone. Regular companion visits reduce caregiver burnout and give families peace of mind.

How quickly can companion care begin after I call?

Companion care can typically begin within 24–48 hours of your initial call. Cottage Home Care handles the intake process quickly so that your loved one has support as soon as possible.
