Safety Concerns at Home
Wandering, falls, leaving stove on, or other behaviors that signal increased risk of injury.
Specialized care provides seniors and individuals with complex health needs the support they need to live safely and comfortably at home.
Specialized care goes beyond standard personal or companion care. It's structured, clinically-informed support for individuals living with conditions like Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, ALS, or other complex neurological and medical diagnoses.

Specialized care is often covered by Medicaid and can be combined with other home care services for a complete care plan.

Specialized home care is for people who need more than companionship or basic personal assistance — typically because of a complex medical condition that requires trained, condition-aware support. Cottage Home Care provides specialized care for individuals dealing with advanced dementia, Parkinson's disease, stroke recovery, ALS, multiple sclerosis, and other serious health conditions. Every care plan is developed and supervised by a registered nurse.
For most stroke survivors, yes. Coming home after a stroke is a vulnerable transition. Your loved one may have new physical limitations, speech difficulties, and a real fear of falling. A Cottage Home Care specialized caregiver is trained to support stroke recovery at home — helping with safe mobility, daily routines, fall prevention, and medication reminders, while encouraging the type of activity that supports recovery. The goal is independence at home, not a move to a facility.
In most states, qualifying medical conditions make clients eligible for Medicaid-covered specialized home care at little or no out-of-pocket cost.
