In-home care for Ocean County families

Ocean County is home to one of New Jersey’s largest communities of seniors and retirees, and families in Toms River, Lakewood, Brick, Jackson, and Manchester often want a loved one to age comfortably in familiar surroundings. Cottage Homecare has supported New Jersey families in doing just that since 1992.

We provide both NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid) and private pay home care, and we take time to match each client with a Certified Home Health Aide or Personal Care Assistant who fits their pace and personality. Care is given in your own home and coordinated from our Jersey City office.

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.

Robert J.

Client Family

Five star experience. There is a reason they are an industry leader. Awesome testimonials and a greater level of service. Very impressed.

Tyrone B.

Caregiver

Here at Cottage Home Care, being a caregiver is so rewarding. We appreciate their helping us to deliver the best Home Help available across Michigan.

Maria G.

Caregiver

Couldn't be more grateful to have joined this team. The support for caregivers is critical as we provide best quality care to our patients.
