Trusted In-Home Caregivers & Paid Family Caregiver Setup in Salisbury, Fruitland, Delmar, Pittsville, and Mardela Springs & Surrounding Areas
Wicomico County families in search of elder care and in-home care services now have a dedicated local partner with a caregiving legacy built over decades, going back to 1992. As the sister company of Cottage Home Care, we bring that proven tradition of quality care to communities across Salisbury, Fruitland, Delmar, and throughout this central Eastern Shore county. Wicomico County's low-lying terrain near the Wicomico River and Chesapeake watershed makes it elderly to flooding, strong summer storms, and coastal weather events that can disrupt daily life quickly, which is why our 24-hour home care emergency backup plans are structured to ensure seamless, uninterrupted care through every challenge. The county's population reflects meaningful diversity, including a significant African American community and a growing Spanish-speaking population, many with roots in Mexico and Central America, and we carefully match every client with a caregiver who speaks their language, honors their cultural values, and completely fulfills all family requirements. Every care plan is nurse-monitored and evolves as a client's needs change, with 24/7 on-call support providing absolute peace of mind. Caregivers assist with daily bathing, dressing, and light housekeeping while offering warm, steady companionship that preserves independence and dignity. Through Community First Choice, Community Options Waiver, and Private Pay, eligible families can access Medicaid-funded care, including getting paid to provide care for elderly at home or welcoming a screened home health aide.

Eligible Wicomico County participants may receive help with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, mobility, and more. The program also supports self-directed care, allowing an approved family member or friend to be paid for providing services.
