Home Care in
Fordham

Fordham has been designated a Medicaid Health Professional Shortage Area — a federal designation that means there are not enough qualified healthcare providers per Medicaid-eligible resident in this neighborhood. The practical consequence is that elderly and chronically ill Fordham residents face longer waits, less continuity, and more gaps in professional care than residents of better-served communities. In-home care from Good Care Agency directly addresses that gap. Our Urdu-speaking staff serves the substantial Pakistani and Bangladeshi community concentrated along Fordham Road and Webster Avenue — a community whose elderly members often manage diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and post-surgical recovery while navigating a healthcare system in a language that is not their own. Our Spanish-speaking team serves the neighborhood's majority Hispanic population. Fordham Road is one of the busiest commercial corridors in the Bronx — home to Fordham University, adjacent to the Bronx Zoo — but the residential streets around it house thousands of elderly residents who need professional care delivered to their doors.
