Trusted, background-screened caregivers, clear Florida Medicaid guidance, and flexible private-pay care for Collier County families, all coordinated by Cottage's Florida care team.
Request care in Collier County
From the waterfront neighborhoods of Naples to the farming community of Immokalee and the island homes of Marco Island, Cottage Home Care helps Collier County seniors and adults with disabilities stay safely in the place they know best. For many Southwest Florida families, remaining at home surrounded by familiar routines, a favorite lanai, and nearby family is far better than moving into a nursing facility or assisted living. We make that possible with dependable in-home help for daily life, whether a loved one needs a little support or hands-on care around the clock.
From your very first call, our Florida care team walks Collier County families through Florida Medicaid, specifically the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care program (SMMC-LTC), a statewide benefit that can cover in-home care at little to no out-of-pocket cost for those who qualify. In many cases a qualified family member or trusted friend can even be hired and paid to provide that care. Every Cottage caregiver is trained and thoroughly background-screened, so families across the county can feel confident about who comes through the door.
If you would rather not wait on an eligibility determination, our private-pay option lets care begin quickly, often within about 24 hours. You choose the schedule that fits your household, from a few hours a week to overnight and live-in support, and adjust it as needs change with no eligibility process to clear first.
Cottage Home Care proudly serves families throughout Collier County, including Naples, Marco Island, Immokalee, Golden Gate, Everglades City, Ave Maria, and the surrounding Southwest Florida communities.
Cities we serve in Collier County
Florida's SMMC-LTC program is a statewide benefit, which means Collier County families do not need a nearby storefront to access it. Cottage coordinates care remotely through our Florida team, arranging trained caregivers for homes in Naples, Golden Gate, Marco Island, Immokalee and beyond so distance from the coast or the Everglades never stands between you and quality care at home.
The SMMC-LTC application and its paperwork can feel overwhelming, especially while caring for an aging parent in Southwest Florida. Our team reviews your situation, explains what you may qualify for, and helps assemble the documentation, all at no charge and with no obligation. Collier County families get a knowledgeable guide instead of a stack of confusing forms.
Through Florida's participant-directed Medicaid options, a qualified son, daughter, spouse or trusted friend in Collier County can often be hired and paid to provide care. Many families in Naples and Immokalee already give this care for free; we help turn that devotion into a supported, compensated role backed by Cottage's training and coordination.
When you need help right away, private pay in Collier County can begin in as little as 24 hours with no eligibility wait. Pick hourly, overnight, or live-in care and change it as circumstances shift, whether that is post-surgery recovery in Marco Island or steady daily support in East Naples. You stay in control of the schedule and the budget.
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.
