Home Care in
Throgs Neck

Throgs Neck has the lowest avoidable hospitalization rates in the Bronx — a reflection of a community with better access to preventive care, higher household incomes, and stronger social supports than the South Bronx. But lower rates are not zero rates. Throgs Neck has a large and aging Irish-American and Italian-American population, many living in the same attached homes they have owned for forty or fifty years, and aging in place in those homes requires professional support when health declines. A hip replacement recovery, a stroke, a diagnosis of Parkinson's or Alzheimer's: these are the moments when Throgs Neck families call Good Care Agency. We provide in-home physical therapy for post-surgical recovery — critical in a neighborhood where the nearest outpatient rehab facility is not walking distance. We provide skilled nursing for clients managing chronic conditions at home. We provide Alzheimer's and dementia care for families navigating a diagnosis they did not expect. Named for John Throckmorton, who farmed this peninsula in the 1640s, Throgs Neck has been home to families rooted in place for centuries. Good Care Agency helps today's families stay rooted.
