Home Care in
Canarsie
Canarsie is a southeastern Brooklyn neighborhood on Jamaica Bay that has undergone one of the most complete demographic transformations in Brooklyn over the past four decades — from a predominantly Italian-American and Jewish community in the 1970s to a majority Caribbean neighborhood today, with large populations from Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, Guyana, and Haiti. Maimonides Health's community needs assessment identifies Canarsie and Flatlands together as having cancer incidence rates higher than the Brooklyn borough average, particularly for women — with breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and other malignancies occurring at elevated rates. The same assessment identifies this corridor as having worse-than-average rates of timely prenatal care and preterm birth. Brookdale Hospital Medical Center on Linden Boulevard is the closest major hospital. Canarsie food insecurity is growing — community organizations have specifically identified Canarsie as a neighborhood where food emergency workers struggle to bring basic resources and many who qualify for assistance cannot access it. For Canarsie's elderly Caribbean homeowners — many of whom have lived in the same private homes since arriving from Jamaica or Trinidad decades ago — Good Care Agency provides the professional in-home care that allows them to remain in their homes through illness, post-surgical recovery, and cancer treatment.
