Home Care in
Melrose
Melrose is a dense South Bronx neighborhood immediately north of Mott Haven, sharing Community District 1 and the same concentrated public health challenges. The combined Mott Haven-Melrose area is home to approximately 141,000 residents — 66% Hispanic and 27% Black — with a life expectancy of 77.6 years, nearly four years below the city median. BronxCare Health System's Concourse Division at 1650 Grand Concourse serves as a primary hospital for the Melrose community alongside Lincoln Hospital. Melrose has persistently high rates of diabetes, hypertension, and asthma-related hospitalizations. The neighborhood's housing stock consists largely of pre-war tenements and public housing towers — buildings where elderly residents on upper floors depend on home care to avoid the difficulty of frequent outpatient visits. Good Care Agency's Bronx office is steps from the Melrose community, and our bilingual team has served families here for over a decade.

We Speak Your Language
Our Melrose team speaks English, Spanish — so your family gets help in the language you're most comfortable with.
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.
