Trusted, background-screened caregivers, step-by-step Florida Medicaid guidance, and flexible private-pay care for Hendry County families, all coordinated by Cottage Home Care's Florida team.
Request care in Hendry County
Across the ranchlands, cane fields, and river towns of Hendry County, Cottage Home Care Services helps seniors and adults with disabilities stay right where they are most comfortable: at home. Whether your loved one lives along the Caloosahatchee in LaBelle, near Lake Okeechobee in Clewiston, or out in the smaller communities of Felda and Montura, we provide personal care, companionship, homemaking, memory care, and 24-hour or live-in support. For many families here, staying home in familiar surroundings, close to grandkids and neighbors, is far more comforting than moving to a distant assisted living facility or nursing home.
From your very first call, our Florida care team walks you through Florida Medicaid, specifically the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care program (SMMC-LTC), a statewide benefit that reaches Hendry County families. We explain what it covers, check whether your loved one may qualify, and handle the paperwork with you at no cost. In many cases, a qualified family member or trusted friend can be hired and paid to be the caregiver through Florida's participant-directed options. Every caregiver we coordinate is trained and background-screened, so you can trust who comes through the door.
Not everyone wants to wait on an eligibility determination, and that is where private pay comes in. With flexible hourly, overnight, and live-in schedules, care can often begin in about 24 hours, no Medicaid approval required. Whether you need a few hours a week in Port LaBelle or full-time support in Clewiston, we build a schedule around your family's needs and budget.
From the county seat of LaBelle to Clewiston on Lake Okeechobee, and out to Port LaBelle, Harlem, Montura, Felda, and Fort Denaud, Cottage Home Care Services helps Hendry County families access trusted in-home care.
Cities we serve in Hendry County
Cottage's offices are in South Florida, but Florida Medicaid's SMMC-LTC program is statewide, which means Hendry County families in LaBelle, Clewiston, and the rural communities in between can access the same long-term care benefit. Our Florida care team coordinates trained, background-screened caregivers and manages the details remotely, so distance is never a barrier to quality in-home care.
Figuring out Florida Medicaid on your own can feel overwhelming, especially in a rural county where help is not always around the corner. Our team checks whether your loved one may qualify, gathers the documents, and files everything with you, free of charge. For those who qualify, SMMC-LTC covers in-home care at little to no out-of-pocket cost to Hendry County families.
In many Hendry County households, a daughter, son, or close friend is already providing much of the care. Through Florida's participant-directed Medicaid options, that qualified family member or friend can often be hired and paid to do it. We show you how it works so the person your loved one already trusts in LaBelle, Felda, or Montura can keep caring for them, with proper support and pay.
When you cannot wait on an eligibility decision, private pay is the answer. With flexible hourly, overnight, and live-in options, care in Clewiston, Port LaBelle, or anywhere in Hendry County can typically begin in about 24 hours, with no eligibility wait and a schedule shaped around your family and 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.
