Home Care in
Melrose
Approximately 14% of Melrose residents are uninsured and 29% live below the poverty line — two indicators that predict exactly the kind of avoidable health crisis our team is built to prevent. When a Melrose senior with uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes goes without regular professional monitoring, the next stop is often a BronxCare emergency room. Our nurses make home visits instead: checking blood pressure, reviewing medications, assessing wound healing, and flagging problems before they become hospitalizations. Melrose was devastated in the 1970s South Bronx crisis — buildings burned, families fled, entire blocks went dark — and the neighborhood spent decades rebuilding. What did not rebuild was the healthcare infrastructure. Today Melrose remains a Medically Underserved Area with provider shortages that make in-home care from Good Care Agency not a convenience but a necessity. Our office on East 149th Street is walking distance from much of the neighborhood, and our bilingual team has been serving Melrose families for over a decade.

Melrose is served by the 2 and 5 trains at Third Avenue/149th Street and the 6 train at East 143rd Street. Our office on East 149th St is within walking distance of much of the neighborhood. An estimated 14% of residents were uninsured as of the most recent NYC Health data, and poverty rates exceed 29% — both indicators that Medicaid-covered in-home services are essential rather than optional for many families here.
