Trusted, background-screened caregivers, clear Florida Medicaid guidance, and flexible private-pay care for Seminole County families, all coordinated by Cottage Home Care's Florida care team.
Request care in Seminole County
Cottage Home Care helps Seminole County seniors and adults with disabilities stay right where they feel most comfortable, at home along the St. Johns River, in the tree-lined neighborhoods of Lake Mary and Longwood, or in the historic streets of downtown Sanford, instead of moving into a nursing home or assisted living facility. Whether a loved one needs a hand with bathing, dressing, and mobility, friendly companionship through the day, help keeping the house and meals in order, or specialized memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, our caregivers make it possible to age in place with dignity across the county.
From your very first phone 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 Seminole County families. We explain what it covers, check whether your loved one may qualify, and handle the paperwork so you are not navigating it alone. In many cases a qualified family member or trusted friend can even be hired and paid to be the caregiver through Florida's participant-directed options. Every caregiver we send is trained and thoroughly background-screened for your family's peace of mind.
Not everyone wants to wait on an eligibility determination, and not everyone qualifies, so we also offer flexible private-pay care that can begin in as little as 24 hours. Choose the schedule that fits your family, from a few hours a week in Oviedo or Winter Springs to overnight or full live-in support in Altamonte Springs, with no eligibility wait and the freedom to adjust hours as needs change.
From historic downtown Sanford and the shores of Lake Monroe to Lake Mary, Longwood, Oviedo, Winter Springs, Altamonte Springs, and Casselberry, Cottage Home Care serves families throughout Seminole County.
Cities we serve in Seminole County
Florida's SMMC-LTC program is a statewide benefit, which means Seminole County families in Sanford, Casselberry, and Lake Mary can access Cottage Home Care's in-home services without a local storefront being required. Our Florida care team coordinates everything remotely and on-site with your household, connecting county residents to trained caregivers under the same statewide long-term care program available across Central Florida.
Sorting out Medicaid eligibility while caring for a loved one in Longwood or Oviedo is overwhelming. We do it for you at no charge, checking whether your family member qualifies for SMMC-LTC, gathering the documents, and guiding the application from start to finish. For those who qualify, approved care comes at little to no out-of-pocket cost, so Seminole County families can focus on their loved one instead of red tape.
Many Seminole County families are surprised to learn that a qualified spouse, adult child, relative, or close friend can be hired and paid to provide care through Florida's participant-directed Medicaid options. Instead of a stranger, the person your loved one already trusts in Winter Springs or Altamonte Springs can deliver their day-to-day care, and our team handles the enrollment, training expectations, and paperwork behind it.
When you cannot wait or do not qualify for Medicaid, our private-pay option lets care begin in roughly 24 hours anywhere in Seminole County. Pick hourly visits, overnight coverage, or live-in support and adjust as needs change, whether that is a few hours of companionship in Casselberry or full-time personal care in Sanford, with no eligibility process to slow things down.
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.
