Home Care in Brooklyn

The cost depends on the type of care, the number of hours, and how the care is funded. Many Brooklyn families receive home care through Medicaid and a Managed Long Term Care (MLTC) plan at no out-of-pocket cost. We also offer private pay options and accept long-term care insurance. Contact us for a conversation about your specific situation — there is no obligation.

Medicare covers short-term skilled services after a hospitalization or medical episode, including home health aide visits, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. These services are coordinated through a Certified Home Health Agency (CHHA). For longer-term home care, Medicaid through an MLTC plan is the most common pathway. We can help you understand which programs apply to your family.

A home health aide (HHA) is certified to assist with personal care — bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility, medication reminders, and meal preparation. A companion provides social engagement, supervision, light housekeeping, and accompaniment to appointments. Both play important roles, and many families use a combination depending on their loved one's needs.

In urgent situations, such as a hospital discharge, we can often begin care within 24 to 48 hours. For planned care, we typically complete the needs assessment and caregiver matching within a few days. The timeline also depends on insurance authorization if you are using Medicaid or an MLTC plan.
