From the launch pads of Titusville down to the beachside neighborhoods of Melbourne and Palm Bay, Cottage Home Care helps Brevard County seniors and adults with disabilities stay right where they feel most themselves: at home. Whether it is help with bathing, dressing, and moving safely around the house, a companion for the day, or memory care for a loved one living with Alzheimer's or dementia, our support lets Space Coast families avoid a nursing home or assisted-living facility and keep their routines, their neighbors, and their view of the Indian River.
From the very first phone call, our Florida care team walks you through Florida Medicaid and the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care program (SMMC-LTC), a statewide benefit that reaches every community in Brevard County. We check whether you qualify and handle the paperwork for you at no cost. In many cases, a qualified family member or trusted friend can even be hired and paid to provide the care through Florida's participant-directed options. Every caregiver we coordinate is trained and thoroughly background-screened, so you can trust who is coming through the door.
Not everyone wants to wait on an eligibility determination, and you do not have to. Our private-pay option can begin in about 24 hours with no Medicaid approval required, offering flexible hourly, overnight, and live-in schedules that fit around your family. Whether you need a few hours a week in Cocoa or around-the-clock care in Merritt Island, we build a plan that matches your budget and your loved one's needs.
Cottage Home Care proudly serves families throughout Brevard County, including Titusville, Melbourne, Palm Bay, Cocoa, Cocoa Beach, Rockledge, Merritt Island, and Satellite Beach.
Cities we serve in Brevard County
You do not need a care agency with a storefront on US-1 to get quality help on the Space Coast. Because Florida's SMMC-LTC program is administered statewide, Cottage Home Care can coordinate covered in-home care for families from Titusville to Palm Bay without any local office required. Our Florida care team manages your case remotely and matches you with local caregivers so care shows up at your door in Brevard County.
The Medicaid maze stops families in Rockledge and Melbourne every day, so we take it off your plate. Our team confirms your eligibility, gathers the documents, and submits the SMMC-LTC application for you free of charge. For those who qualify, covered long-term care services come with little to no out-of-pocket cost, meaning a Brevard County family can get real help without draining savings.
Many Space Coast families are already doing the caregiving, and Florida's participant-directed Medicaid options mean that work can be recognized and paid. A qualifying son, daughter, or close friend in Cocoa Beach, Viera, or Satellite Beach can often be hired, trained, and compensated to care for their own family member, keeping care in familiar hands while easing the household's finances.
When you cannot wait or Medicaid is not the right fit, our private-pay care can begin in roughly 24 hours anywhere in Brevard County, with no eligibility approval to hold things up. Choose flexible hourly visits, overnight coverage, or full live-in support in communities like West Melbourne, Merritt Island, or Cape Canaveral, and adjust the schedule as your needs change.
Whether you qualify for Florida Medicaid or prefer to start privately, Cottage makes South Florida home care simple — and we’ll help you find the right fit in one free call.
