Trusted, background-screened caregivers, hands-on Florida Medicaid guidance, and flexible private-pay care for Escambia County families, all coordinated by Cottage's Florida care team.
Request care in Escambia County
From the historic streets of downtown Pensacola to the small towns of Century and Molino near the Alabama line, Cottage Home Care Services helps Escambia County seniors and adults with disabilities stay right where they feel most at home. Whether it is help with bathing and dressing, a companion for the day, or around-the-clock support, in-home care lets your loved one keep their routine, their neighborhood, and their independence instead of moving into an assisted living facility or nursing home in the Panhandle.
Our support starts with your very first call. Cottage's Florida care team walks Escambia County families through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care program (SMMC-LTC), a statewide Florida Medicaid 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 friend can even be hired and paid to provide that care through Florida's participant-directed options. Every caregiver we place is trained, background-screened, and matched to your family's needs.
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, from a few hours a week to overnight, live-in, or 24-hour coverage, and adjust it as your loved one's needs change across Escambia County.
Cottage Home Care Services proudly supports families in Pensacola, Century, Cantonment, Molino, Gonzalez, Ferry Pass, Brent, and communities throughout Escambia County.
Cities we serve in Escambia County
Because SMMC-LTC is a statewide Florida Medicaid program, families from Pensacola to Cantonment and Century can access in-home care through Cottage without traveling to a South Florida office. Care is coordinated remotely by our Florida team, while your caregiver works right in your Escambia County home.
Navigating Medicaid long-term care can feel overwhelming. Cottage guides Escambia County families through eligibility, enrollment, and the SMMC-LTC application at no charge, so a family caring for a parent in Ferry Pass or Perdido Key doesn't have to decode the process alone.
Through Florida's participant-directed Medicaid options, a qualified spouse, adult child, or trusted friend in Escambia County can often be hired and paid to provide care. That means a daughter in Brent or a neighbor in Gonzalez can keep giving hands-on help and be compensated for it.
Not everyone qualifies for Medicaid, and not everyone wants to wait. Our private-pay care for Escambia County families can begin in about 24 hours with no eligibility delay, offering flexible hourly, overnight, and live-in schedules for households in Pensacola and the surrounding Panhandle communities.
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.
