Home Care in
Woodlawn

Woodlawn borders one of the most remarkable landmarks in New York City: Woodlawn Cemetery, a National Historic Landmark where Herman Melville, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Fiorello La Guardia, and hundreds of other figures are buried among 400 acres of Victorian landscape. The neighborhood itself is called Little Ireland — its Irish pubs, Irish-American organizations, and community life reflect multiple generations of Irish families, from those who arrived in the post-Famine emigration of the nineteenth century to recent arrivals navigating the American healthcare system for the first time. For the latter group, understanding Medicaid — what it covers, how to apply, what home care services you are entitled to — is not obvious. Our team explains it clearly, in plain English, without bureaucratic complexity. For Woodlawn's elderly Irish-American seniors who have lived in the same attached home for fifty years, the goal is simple: stay there. Good Care Agency provides the nursing, aide, physical therapy, and Alzheimer's care that makes aging in place in Woodlawn possible. Montefiore Wakefield Division is the closest hospital, and we coordinate with their discharge team for Woodlawn clients coming home after a hospitalization.
