Why Families Choose Us

  1. We know Maryland home care.

    Maryland home care can feel confusing. There are care needs to think about. There are also payment choices and program rules. We walk Somerset County families through Community First Choice. We also explain the Community Options Waiver and private pay. We use plain language, so you understand what applies to you.

  2. We build a plan around you.

    Every family is different. We start by asking about your relative's day. We ask what tasks they need help with. We also ask about your preferred schedule. Then we build a care plan around your family. It is not a generic plan made for someone else.

  3. Our caregivers are carefully chosen.

    Caregivers go through Cottage's screening steps first. This happens before they join a family's care team. Our team then looks at the person's needs. We also look at their routine, schedule, and likes. This helps us find a caregiver who fits well.

  4. We help you understand your options.

    Some families are weighing Maryland Medicaid programs. Others are thinking about private pay. Some are comparing agencies. We explain what each option means. We also explain what to gather and your next step. This helps you decide with confidence.

  5. Licensed in Maryland.

    Cottage Home Care Maryland LLC holds RSA License No. 02496. The Maryland Department of Health gave us this license. Their Office of Health Care Quality issued it. We are licensed as a residential service agency. This license covers the non-medical care we give to Somerset County families.

We will go over which services and payment options fit your family.

Somerset County

Maryland Community First Choice (CFC)

Community First Choice is a Maryland Medicaid benefit. It helps pay for home care instead of care in an institution. There is no age limit. But you must already have full Medicaid. You must also need an institutional level of care. Services can include help with daily tasks, nurse check-ins, and meals delivered to your home. Once CFC services are authorized, our caregivers can give the day-to-day care your plan allows. We can walk you through how eligibility works.

Learn about Community First Choice

Community Options Waiver

The Community Options Waiver is for adults age 18 and up. It is for people who need a nursing facility level of care. But they want to stay at home instead. The waiver is closed to new community applicants right now. Interested families call Maryland Access Point. This adds your name to the Community Options Waiver Registry. Some people call this a waitlist. When a spot opens, the state invites people from the registry to apply. Waiver members also get Community First Choice benefits.

Learn about Community Options

Private-Pay Home Care

Private pay lets your family set up non-medical home care right away. You do not have to wait on a Medicaid decision. You choose the hours your relative needs. This could be a few visits a week or more steady support. We can talk about short-term help, like time after a hospital stay. We can also talk about ongoing care. This option works well if you are not on Medicaid or want more flexibility.

FAQs

Home Care FAQs for Somerset County Families

Still have a question?(667) 400-0648

Non-medical home care covers a lot. It includes personal care, meal prep, and light housekeeping. It also includes company during visits. A caregiver can give medication reminders too. They also do safety checks during visits. This is not skilled nursing. It is not wound care or therapy. If you are also thinking about Medicare, keep this in mind. Medicare usually does not pay for personal care. This is true if that is the only care someone needs.

Yes. We serve families across Somerset County. This includes Princess Anne, Crisfield, Westover, Marion Station, Deal Island, Eden, and Rehobeth. Care happens at your relative's own home. It is not at a Cottage office. We plan caregiver visits around where your family lives. Are you searching for senior care or personal care near you? Tell us your address and schedule. We will confirm coverage and next steps.

Cost depends on the hours you need, the tasks involved, and your schedule. Private-pay families set up care directly. They pay for the hours they use. We do not publish set local rates, since needs vary so much. Families considering Medicaid may have CFC or the Community Options Waiver cover authorized hours. This happens once eligibility is confirmed. Tell us your relative's needs, and we will go over the payment route that fits.

Maryland offers a few paths. Community First Choice (CFC) is a Medicaid benefit with no age limit. You need full Medicaid and an institutional level of care. The Community Options Waiver is for adults 18 and older. It is for people who need nursing-facility-level care. It is closed to new community applicants right now. You can add your name to the Maryland Access Point registry instead. Community Personal Assistance Services (CPAS) is a separate Medicaid benefit. It helps people who need help with one daily task or more. We can explain how these programs differ. We cannot confirm if Cottage takes part in CPAS.

This depends on the program and your relationship. Maryland's CFC rules have one key limit. A participant's representative cannot also be their paid caregiver. A representative is someone who makes formal decisions for them. Other relatives may still qualify under program rules. Who can get care and who can get paid to give care are two separate questions. We can go over the details with your family in private. We will not promise payment to every relative or parent named on this page.

Yes. Many families reach out right after a hospital or rehab stay. This is when a relative is getting back to daily life at home. Caregivers can help with personal care, light housekeeping, and meals. They also offer company. Medical follow-up is set up on its own. TidalHealth McCready Pavilion in Crisfield is one local facility families sometimes mention for emergency care. Home support like ours can work alongside medical care set up elsewhere. It does not replace that care.

We work with families across Somerset County. This includes Princess Anne and Crisfield. It also includes Westover, Marion Station, Deal Island, Eden, and Rehobeth. Somerset also has communities on Smith Island, like Ewell and Tylerton, which are reached only by boat. We check access to those areas case by case. Coverage can also reach other small communities nearby. This depends on your exact spot and if a caregiver is free. The best way to know for sure is to share your address. We will confirm if we can serve you and what scheduling looks like.

Start by reaching out to Cottage directly. We will ask about your relative's daily needs. We will also ask about their location in Somerset County and your preferred schedule. From there, we review your options together. This could be private pay or a Maryland Medicaid path. We confirm next steps together. If Medicaid status is already known, or you are interested in a relative providing care, we can discuss those details in private. We do not discuss this through the public form.
