Home Care in
Longwood

Longwood falls within the Hunts Point-Longwood South Bronx corridor — a community with a 42% Medicaid enrollment rate and some of the borough's highest rates of asthma-related emergency hospitalizations. When a Longwood senior is discharged from BronxCare or Lincoln Hospital after a diabetes complication, a heart attack, or a respiratory crisis, the question is what happens next. Without professional in-home nursing, the answer is often readmission within 30 days. With Good Care Agency, the answer is a nurse at the door within 24 hours: reviewing the discharge plan, managing medications, monitoring the wound, and keeping the client stable at home. Our HHA and PCA aides then provide the daily personal care that makes independent living possible between nursing visits. Longwood has been designated a Medicaid Health Professional Shortage Area — there are documented gaps between what this community needs and what providers are available to deliver. Good Care Agency is one of the providers filling that gap, with a bilingual Spanish and English team experienced in the chronic conditions most prevalent here.
