Home Care in
Sunset Park
Sunset Park is a neighborhood of two distinct communities divided by Fifth Avenue: to the west, the largest Chinese community outside of Manhattan's Chinatown, concentrated along 8th Avenue and served by dozens of Chinese-language shops, restaurants, and community organizations; to the east, a large Mexican and Central American Hispanic community along 5th Avenue, including one of the highest concentrations of undocumented immigrants in Brooklyn. Brooklyn health data identifies Sunset Park as having the highest rate of uninsured residents in Brooklyn — 22% of residents reported no health insurance in 2018, compared to 12% Brooklyn-wide. This uninsurance rate directly drives avoidable emergency room visits: the Brooklyn Community Needs Assessment found that approximately 65% to 80% of all emergency visits in Brooklyn are potentially preventable, with the highest rates in northern and central Brooklyn and Coney Island-Sheepshead Bay — but Sunset Park's uninsured population is among the most at risk for the kind of unmanaged chronic disease that produces these visits. Maimonides Medical Center and NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn both serve the community. For Sunset Park's Chinese-speaking elderly — many of whom do not speak English and cannot effectively communicate their symptoms or understand their treatment plans at English-language outpatient facilities — in-home nursing and aide care from a Mandarin-speaking team is not just convenient; it is clinically safer.
