Skip the waiting. Private pay home care starts on your schedule, not an insurance company's. Get personalized support from Cottage Home Care, a private pay home care agency serving families across New York.
The one thing Medicaid can't offer is speed. If timing matters more than waiting for approval, this is the option built for that.
Private pay means care starts when you decide, not when an application clears. You pay directly. No Medicaid wait, no insurance approval, no delay between deciding you need help and getting it.

Private pay refers to home care services paid out-of-pocket by clients or their families, rather than through insurance or government assistance programs. This method offers greater flexibility and control over the care received.
Our private pay services include personalized care plans that may cover daily living activities, medication management, and specialized care for seniors or individuals with disabilities, provided by our qualified Home Health Aides (HHA) and Personal Care Aides (PCA).
Choosing private pay might be suitable if you seek more personalized care options, need services not covered by insurance, or prefer the simplicity of direct payments. We recommend consulting with our care coordinators to discuss your specific needs and how we can best meet them.
Costs are based on the type and amount of care needed, as well as the duration of services. We provide a detailed and transparent pricing model during your initial consultation and tailor it to meet the specific care requirements and budget considerations of your family.
It depends on the level of care and hours needed. Call (516) 367-2266 for a straightforward, no-obligation quote based on your specific situation. We’d rather give you a real number than a vague range.
To get started, please contact our office to schedule an in-depth consultation. We will discuss your care needs, our services, and how private pay can be structured to best support you or your loved one.
Absolutely. One of the advantages of private pay is the ability to fully customize the care plan to the specific health conditions, preferences, and schedules of our clients, ensuring they receive the most appropriate and effective care.
