Home Care in
Bushwick
Bushwick has the highest food insecurity rate in New York City — 36% of households have run out of food at some point, meaning more than one in three Bushwick families has experienced food insecurity. This is not a footnote; it is the dominant health fact about Bushwick, because food insecurity is a direct driver of the chronic disease burden that defines this community's health profile. When families cannot reliably access nutritious food, blood sugar becomes impossible to control. When blood sugar is uncontrolled for years, diabetes complications — kidney disease, peripheral neuropathy, diabetic ulcers, vision loss — follow inevitably. Bushwick's preventable hospitalization rates for diabetes are among the highest in northern and central Brooklyn, alongside Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, and Brownsville. Wyckoff Heights Medical Center at 374 Stockholm Street is the primary hospital for Bushwick residents — a 350-bed safety-net teaching hospital that Bushwick community organizations have identified as facing significant capacity pressure. Bushwick has been comprehensively designated a Medically Underserved Area and a Health Professional Shortage Area, and it accounts for some of the largest numbers of uninsured residents in Brooklyn. Nearly one third of Bushwick residents live in poverty — above both Brooklyn and NYC averages — and the neighborhood is 47% Hispanic, creating significant demand for Spanish-language home care. Good Care Agency provides in-home nursing, social work, and aide services to Bushwick families in Spanish and English — directly addressing the food insecurity, diabetes, and preventable hospitalization crisis documented in this community.

Home Care Services in Bushwick
Licensed home care services for Bushwick families — covered by Medicaid.
HHA and PCA aides serving Bushwick's predominantly Latino elderly population — providing daily personal care, meal preparation support, and the regular human presence that allows elderly residents to remain safely at home. Our aides are trained to recognize the early warning signs of diabetic complications and food insecurity-related malnutrition that are especially prevalent here.
Skilled nursing for Bushwick clients managing diabetes — driven directly by the neighborhood's 36% food insecurity rate and the chronic blood sugar instability it produces. Our nurses provide blood sugar monitoring, dietary counseling, medication management, diabetic wound care, and coordination with Wyckoff Heights Medical Center care teams. For Bushwick clients whose diabetes is uncontrolled because they cannot reliably afford the food needed to manage it, our nurses work alongside our social workers to address both the clinical and social dimensions.
Our bilingual social workers in Bushwick address what the data shows: food insecurity, poverty, uninsurance, and chronic disease are inseparable here. We connect Bushwick families with SNAP enrollment, food pantry resources, Medicaid enrollment, and community health programs — addressing the social determinants of the health crisis alongside the clinical care.
