About Cottage Grove, Minnesota
Situated along the St. Croix River in Washington County, Cottage Grove blends suburban comfort with natural beauty. The city is known for its parks, family-friendly neighborhoods, and the close community bonds that come with generations of longtime residents. For seniors who have raised their families here and built their lives in this community, remaining at home is not just a practical decision — it is a deeply personal one. Legacy Home Care is proud to support that choice with professional, compassionate care.
Why Staying at Home Is the Right Choice — and How We Make It Possible
Research consistently shows that seniors who age in place experience better health outcomes, greater emotional well-being, and a higher overall quality of life compared to those who transition to residential care. At Legacy Home Care, our home health care services are purpose-built to make staying home safe, comfortable, and sustainable — no matter the stage of need.
Live-In Caregivers — Full-Time Presence, Full-Time Reassurance
A live-in caregiver from Legacy Home Care provides uninterrupted daily support by residing in the client’s home. From morning routines and meal preparation to evening wind-down and safety supervision, our caregivers — many of them CNAs — are there every step of the way. Learn more about Live-in Care.

When a family member cannot be present overnight, our overnight caregivers provide a trained, attentive presence from the evening through early morning. This service addresses concerns about nighttime falls, medication management, and general safety during the most vulnerable hours. Learn more about Overnight Care.
Nurse Care Management — Your Health Status, Always Under Supervision
Weekly home visits from a licensed nurse keep a close watch on the client’s overall health. The nurse coordinates with primary care physicians, updates health records, monitors chronic conditions, and ensures that any status changes are addressed promptly. Learn more about Nurse Care Management.
Medication Management — Removing the Risk of Prescription Errors
Medication errors are among the most common and preventable health risks facing seniors. Our licensed nurses manage the entire medication process — from setting up pill dispensers to communicating with pharmacies and physicians — so families can rest easy. Learn more about Medication Management.
In-Home Therapy Services — Healing at Home, on Your Terms
Our licensed physical, occupational, and speech therapists visit clients at home to support recovery and long-term functional health. Home-based therapy is not only more convenient — it is often more effective because it allows therapists to work directly within the client’s environment. Learn more about Home Therapy Services.
Companion Care — Engagement, Friendship, and Day-to-Day Assistance
Human connection is essential to good health. Our companion caregivers provide meaningful social engagement alongside practical help with errands, transportation, light housekeeping, and pet care.

Social Work Services — Clarity When Decisions Feel Overwhelming
When families face difficult decisions about long-term care, our social workers provide guidance, resources, and a steady hand. They help navigate the healthcare system, identify community programs, coordinate supplemental services, and support both clients and families through transitions.
