Home Care in
Flatbush & East Flatbush
Flatbush and East Flatbush together form the cultural capital of Brooklyn's Caribbean community — a vibrant, dense corridor that stretches from Church Avenue to Flatbush Avenue-Brooklyn College, home to one of the largest concentrations of Jamaican, Trinidadian, Barbadian, Haitian, and Guyanese residents in the United States. The Church Avenue corridor in Flatbush is lined with West Indian restaurants, Caribbean groceries, Haitian beauty supply shops, and community organizations that reflect the diversity within this community. The health data for this corridor is stark: Brooklyn health data shows that East New York and Crown Heights have the highest diabetes rates in Brooklyn at 18% and 16% respectively — and the Flatbush-East Flatbush corridor, which sits between them, shows similar patterns of large clusters of preventable diabetes hospitalizations in state health data. The One Brooklyn Health system — which includes Kings County Hospital Center and Brookdale Hospital Medical Center — identifies East Flatbush as having a 48% Medicaid enrollment rate, the highest in their service area. Kings County Hospital at 451 Clarkson Avenue, one of the largest public hospitals in the United States, is the primary hospital for this corridor, and Brookdale Hospital serves the eastern portion. Good Care Agency serves Flatbush and East Flatbush in Haitian Creole, Spanish, and English — removing the language barriers that have historically prevented Caribbean families, particularly Haitian families, from accessing the home care they need and are entitled to.
