Who we help
Why Cottage
Maryland home care can feel confusing. There are care needs to weigh. There are also payment choices and program rules. We walk you through Medicaid and private pay, in plain language, so you know what applies to your family.
Every family is different, and so is every routine. We ask what your relative needs and prefers. We also ask what they would rather keep doing themselves. The plan follows their lead, not a template made for someone else.
Who comes into your relative's home matters to us too. Caregivers go through Cottage's screening steps first. We also consider routine and preference, so the fit feels right.
Some families are weighing Medicaid programs. Others want private pay, or they are comparing agencies. We explain each option in plain terms. Maryland has the final say on Medicaid eligibility.
Cottage Home Care Maryland LLC holds RSA License No. 02496. The Maryland Department of Health issued this license. We are licensed as a residential service agency. This license covers the non-medical care we give Prince George's County families.

Coverage & programs
Cottage works with families across Prince George's County. This includes Bowie, Upper Marlboro, and Largo. It also includes Lanham, Hyattsville, Laurel, Greenbelt, and College Park. We start by learning what is going on at home. Then we talk about Medicaid or private pay, whichever fits. Contact us about your address and what your relative needs. We will confirm caregiver availability from there. Prince George's County also runs its own Aging and Disabilities Services Division. This is a separate public resource, not part of Cottage.
Approved support at home may be available if your relative has Maryland Medicaid. Community First Choice is a Maryland Medicaid benefit. It is not a waiver. It requires full Medicaid and an institutional level of care. There is no age limit. Approved services may include personal help at home. Maryland decides who qualifies and what gets approved. We can walk you through what that means.
Learn about Community First ChoiceYour relative may need a nursing facility level of care but want to stay in the community. This may be another Maryland route. It is also called the Home and Community-Based Options Waiver, or HCBOW. Rules include age 18 and up, plus a nursing facility level of care. Money and medical needs are also checked. New applicants join a waitlist called the Registry. The state invites people to apply in turn. Waiver members also get Community First Choice.
Learn about Community OptionsMany families choose private pay on purpose, not as a fallback. It lets you arrange care directly, on your own timeline. You pay Cottage directly, and Medicaid approval is not required. The plan follows what you request, your schedule, and caregiver availability. Current pricing should be confirmed with our team. Ask us for a current estimate.
Learn about Private PayYou do not need to know the program name before calling. Tell us what has become difficult, your location, and your schedule.

FAQs
Non-medical home care covers a lot. It includes personal care, meal prep, and light housekeeping. It also means good company during visits. A caregiver gives a gentle reminder for medicine, but never gives medicine. This is different from skilled nursing or therapy. If your relative also needs clinical care, ask us about that.
The right agency for your family depends on a few things worth comparing. Look at Maryland licensing, how caregivers are screened, and whether they have availability near you. Ask how cost works and how often you'll hear from the team. It's also worth asking what happens if your relative's needs change later. We're glad to walk you through how Cottage answers each of those.
Cost depends on the hours you need and your schedule. It also depends on the kind of support involved. Whether Medicaid or private pay applies matters too. Call (667) 400-0648 for a real number based on your family's situation.
Maryland Medicaid may cover home care through Community First Choice or the Community Options Waiver. Maryland decides who qualifies and what gets approved, not Cottage. Having Medicaid does not automatically mean every program applies. It is worth talking through your relative's specific situation with us.
If you are already caring for a parent, spouse, or relative, you may be able to get paid for some of that support. Certain Maryland programs allow this. Whether it applies depends on the program, the care plan, and the worker's qualifications. Being related does not guarantee payment on its own. Tell us about your situation, and we can explain which paid options might fit.
Yes, non-medical help often follows a hospital or rehab stay. This can include bathing, dressing, meals, and a little extra help moving around. This is not rehab or medical treatment. If your relative also needs therapy or wound care, ask us how that fits alongside non-medical support.
Cottage serves families throughout Prince George's County. This includes Bowie, Upper Marlboro, Largo, Lanham, Hyattsville, Laurel, Greenbelt, and College Park. Give us a call so we can confirm care at your exact address.
You do not need the exact program name, every document, or a finished plan before you call. Just tell us what has become difficult, where care is needed, and your preferred schedule, and mention Medicaid if it's part of the picture. We will explain Cottage's next step from there.
