Home Care in
Castle Hill

Castle Hill is an East Bronx neighborhood in a documented Medicaid Health Professional Shortage Area, with an elderly Caribbean population — from Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Guyana — that has significant ongoing home care needs. Many Castle Hill families follow the Caribbean tradition of multigenerational caregiving: adult children caring for elderly parents at home, working full-time, and managing the physical and emotional demands of family caregiving without professional support. Good Care Agency's respite care, HHA services, and nursing visits are built for exactly this situation. Our aides provide the daily personal care that allows family caregivers to work and rest. Our nurses address the chronic conditions — diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease — that are elevated throughout the East Bronx corridor. Our social workers help families access every Medicaid benefit they are entitled to. Castle Hill sits on land that served as a Revolutionary War lookout point — its elevated position gave colonial troops a view over the East River. Today our team has a similar role: providing early visibility into health problems before they become crises.
