Home Care in
Borough Park
Borough Park is the heartland of Orthodox Jewish life in New York City and one of the largest concentrations of Hasidic Jews anywhere outside of Israel — an estimated 100,000 Hasidic residents in a neighborhood of 140,000 people. The community is dominated by multiple Hasidic dynasties — Bobov, Belz, Ger, Satmar, Karlin-Stolin, Vizhnitz, Munkacz, and others — each with their own synagogues, yeshivas, and community institutions centered on 13th Avenue. Maimonides Medical Center, located within the neighborhood on 48th Street, has served this community for over a century — it operates Shabbat elevators, maintains an on-site synagogue that hosts daily afternoon prayer, and provides kosher meals. In 2025, the Orthodox Jewish community is engaged in a significant fight against Maimonides' planned merger with NYC Health + Hospitals, with Hatzalah, four Hasidic congregations, and Orthodox patient advocacy groups filing suit to preserve the hospital's religious accommodations. Whatever the outcome, Borough Park's residents will continue to need in-home care that respects Shabbat, kashrut, and the specific practices of each Hasidic community. Brooklyn health data reveals Borough Park's paradox: the neighborhood has the highest proportion of Medicaid recipients of any Brooklyn community district — 55% of residents receive Medicaid — yet one of the lowest rates of chronic disease mortality, in part because community institutions provide a robust social support network. However, Borough Park's elderly population, including Holocaust survivors and aging parents of large Hasidic families, has real, ongoing home care needs. Good Care Agency serves Borough Park with Shabbat-sensitive scheduling, religious dietary accommodation, and staff who understand the differences between Bobov, Satmar, and Belz family expectations.
