Home Care in Alger That Comes to You
Welcome, Alger County residents. Cottage Home Care began in New York in 1992, founded by a Guyana-born entrepreneur who believed home care should feel like family looking after family. Cottage Home Care MI LLC carries that legacy into Michigan from our Detroit office, fully certified by Medicaid, CHAMPS, and MDHHS.

Rural care means fewer options — unless you know where to look
Life in Alger County, from Munising to the small towns along Lake Superior, comes with real distance between neighbors and clinics. Some families try to manage everything alone or hire help through unvetted online marketplaces. Those choices look cheap until something goes wrong. Uncertified hires carry no insurance, no agency backing, and no accountability to the state.
We are the responsible choice. Our caregivers handle home help tasks like cooking, hygiene support, mobility help, and household upkeep. We match by language and cultural fit, build schedules around your real life, and add free hours to lighten the load. Thirty-plus years of experience stands behind every visit.
We do this by the book — so you don't have to worry.

Care done right
Care You Can Trust in a County With Few Options
In a county where in-home care options are limited, how care is delivered matters as much as that it's delivered. Every Cottage Home Care caregiver serving Alger is background-checked and trained to Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) standards. As a Medicaid-certified, CHAMPS-enrolled agency, we handle enrollment, training, and payroll — so a Alger family can be paid to care for their own loved one without navigating state paperwork alone.
