In-home care for Bergen County families

As the most populous county in New Jersey, Bergen is home to a remarkable mix of neighborhoods, from the bustle of Hackensack and Fort Lee to the tree-lined streets of Teaneck, Englewood, and Paramus. Cottage Homecare provides attentive, personal care inside the homes of Bergen County families, wherever they happen to live.

We work with NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid) as well as private pay arrangements, and we take real care in matching each client with an aide who suits their household. Our background-screened Certified Home Health Aides and Personal Care Assistants make daily life smoother, safer, and more comfortable.

Maria R.

Caregiver

After my mother's hospital stay, Cottage Homecare had an aide at our apartment within two days. The team understood NJ Medicaid paperwork better than we did and walked us through every step. Mom is safe at home again and actually looks forward to the visits.

James T.

Client Family

Professional, punctual, and kind. Our nurse checks in regularly and the aides treat my father with real dignity. As someone who works long hours in North Jersey, knowing Dad has consistent coverage has lifted a huge weight off our family.

Priya K.

Client Family

We tried two other agencies before Cottage. Communication was night and day better here—someone always answers the phone, schedule changes are handled quickly, and billing for private pay was transparent. Highly recommend for Middlesex County families.

Robert & Linda M.

Client Family

My wife needed overnight help after surgery. The overnight aide was experienced, quiet, and respectful of our home. CHAP accreditation mattered to us; we wanted a licensed NJ agency we could trust. We found that here.

Angela D.

Caregiver

Spanish-speaking caregivers were important for my abuela. Cottage matched us with someone patient and warm. Abuela says she feels like family is visiting, not a stranger. That means everything to us.

David L.

Client Family

Coastal commute made it hard for me to check on my parents daily. Cottage coordinated live-in support on short notice when Dad's mobility declined. The care plan was detailed and the office followed up after the first week without us having to chase them.

Sandra K.

Client Family

Highly skilled caregivers. This kind of flexibility is rare and difficult to find in a Medicaid certified agency. This is the best home care in Michigan period.
