Trusted caregivers, Florida Medicaid guidance and flexible private-pay care for Union County families — coordinated by Cottage's Florida care team.
Request care in Union County
Cottage Home Care helps seniors and adults with disabilities across Union County stay safely in their own homes in Lake Butler, Raiford and the small rural communities along the New River rather than moving to a nursing home or assisted-living facility. In one of Florida's smallest and most tight-knit counties, staying close to family, church and the land you know matters — and that is exactly the kind of care we make possible.
Even though Cottage's offices are in South Florida, our reach is statewide: we help Union County families through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care program (SMMC-LTC), a Florida-wide Medicaid benefit that funds in-home care here just as it does in Miami. From your very first phone call, our Florida care team explains how it works, checks whether you likely qualify and files the paperwork for you. Under Florida's participant-directed options, a qualified family member or friend can often be hired and paid to be the caregiver — and every caregiver we place is trained and background-screened.
If you would rather not wait on an eligibility decision, our private-pay care can begin quickly — usually within about 24 hours — with flexible hourly, overnight and live-in schedules built entirely around your family's routine in Union County.
Serving Lake Butler, Raiford, Worthington Springs, Providence, Dukes, Guilford and communities throughout Union County.
Cities we serve in Union County
The SMMC Long-Term Care program is a statewide Florida Medicaid benefit, so Union County families qualify for the same in-home care as families in Florida's biggest cities. Our care team coordinates it all remotely — no need to leave Lake Butler or Raiford to get started.
We guide Union County families through SMMC Long-Term Care eligibility and complete the paperwork at no charge, so those who qualify receive in-home care at little to no out-of-pocket expense. You never pay us to find out where you stand.
In a rural county like Union, the person who already knows your loved one best is often family. Florida's participant-directed Medicaid options can let a qualified family member or friend be hired and paid as the caregiver — we confirm eligibility and handle enrollment.
No Medicaid application and no eligibility wait — private-pay care for a home in Worthington Springs, Providence or anywhere in Union County can begin in as little as 24 hours, on the hourly, overnight or live-in schedule you choose.
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.
