Our Connecticut service area
Accepting New Clients — Tolland County, CT
One of the most complete home care agencies serving Tolland County, CT — and our East Hartford office sits right across the county line. Trained, background-checked caregivers. RN and LPN skilled nursing. HUSKY (Connecticut Medicaid) programs and flexible private pay, all under one roof. Vernon, Mansfield, Coventry, Ellington — care that comes to your door, from a team that's minutes away.
Two fields, that's it. A specialist calls you back, runs your free HUSKY eligibility review, and tells you which program fits — CFC, PCA, AFL or private pay. After seven years in home care, your situation won't be new to us.
Tolland County sits right next to our East Hartford base, which changes what home care feels like here. Assessments happen fast. Check-ins are a short drive, not a scheduling headache. Cottage Homecare Services CT LLC covers Vernon, Mansfield and Storrs, Tolland, Coventry and Ellington — daily personal care through dementia and stroke-recovery support. When needs turn clinical, our own RNs and LPNs handle skilled nursing, infusion, respiratory and wound care at home. Nobody gets moved to a facility just to be looked after.
Here's what most families find out too late: under HUSKY, the person already doing the caregiving can get paid for it. Adult Family Living (AFL) pays a live-in family member or friend a tax-free stipend. Personal Care Assistance (PCA) pays hourly. We check eligibility free and file every form ourselves. Want a professional instead? We'll match a trained, background-screened caregiver to your family. Either way, one call gets you the answer.
Serving Vernon, Mansfield (Storrs), Tolland, Coventry, Ellington, Stafford, Somers, Hebron and every town across Tolland County — free eligibility review for all of them.
Tolland County borders Hartford County, so for Vernon, Coventry and Ellington families, assessments and in-person visits rarely take long to arrange. You get a real local team, not a distant dispatcher.
Companion care, personal care and 24/7 live-in. RN/LPN skilled nursing. All three HUSKY programs (CFC, PCA, AFL) plus private pay. Tell us your situation once and we hand you the right fit. You don't need to learn the rules — we already know them.
Under AFL and PCA, the adult child, sibling, friend or in some cases spouse already giving care gets hired and paid, including AFL's tax-free stipend. We handle enrollment and payroll. You care; we do the rest.
Eligibility reviews and consultations are free, always. We prepare and file every HUSKY form, schedule the assessment, and stay on your case after care starts. Thirty years of doing this. Your only step is the first call.
HUSKY or private pay, the result is the same: a trained, background-screened caregiver and one nearby team to call. Aides, skilled nursing and Medicaid know-how all under one roof, so you're never bounced between agencies. Can't tell which of the four paths below is yours? We've matched families to the right one for seven years.
Told your loved one needs nursing-facility-level care? CFC often funds personal care, homemaking and skill-building at home instead. Talk to us before any facility decision. Keeping people home is what we do.
For adults 18–64 with disabilities on HUSKY C. Hire, train and direct your own attendant — even a family member — and keep living independently at home. We confirm eligibility and handle the hiring paperwork.
Get paid to care for a loved one 65+ in your home. The live-in family member or friend providing care receives a tax-free stipend, and we run enrollment and payroll end to end. Already the caregiver? Ask about this one first.
Need care now? Private pay starts without any eligibility wait. Hourly, respite or 24/7 live-in, with companion care, personal care and medication reminders on your schedule. Ask about flexible plans and extra free hours. We'll still run your free HUSKY check alongside, in case a covered program fits.
Not sure which fits? Tell us about your family — it takes a minute — and we'll walk you through every option you qualify for. Free review, plain answers, zero obligation.
