Home Care in
East New York
East New York has the highest diabetes rate of any Brooklyn neighborhood at 18% — and Brooklyn health data from the NYC Community Health Survey confirms that the preventable hospitalization clusters for diabetes are concentrated in the corridor from Williamsburg-Bushwick through Crown Heights, Brownsville, and East New York. Stated plainly: East New York has more uncontrolled diabetes, more preventable hospitalizations for diabetes, and more avoidable deaths from diabetes-related complications than any neighborhood in Brooklyn. An avoidable death rate 40% above the Brooklyn average documents the broader consequence of inadequate preventive care in this community. The neighborhood's poverty rate is 32% — above both Brooklyn and NYC averages — and Medicaid enrollment stands at 42%, second highest in the One Brooklyn Health service area after Brownsville. Brookdale Hospital Medical Center on Linden Boulevard is the primary hospital. East New York's population is predominantly Black and Latino, with significant Caribbean and Central American communities, and the neighborhood's NYCHA developments — Linden Houses, Cypress Hills, Starrett City, New Lots — house thousands of elderly residents who depend on Medicaid home care to remain safely at home. Good Care Agency provides the in-home nursing, wound care, medication management, and aide support that directly addresses East New York's diabetes and avoidable hospitalization crisis.
