As a mission driven non-for-profit organization, we offer Bronx residents top-quality home care services that are uniquely coupled with a broad array of vital social services, all of which place our clients’ needs and well-being front and center of everything we do every single day. We are a diverse agency – we speak many languages and service everyone regardless of race or religion.
Our clients not only gain from the highest standard of care provided by carefully chosen care givers, but additionally benefit from our agency’s holistic and targeted social services that meet their current needs and anticipate their future ones.
We currently offer an array of home care services including but not limited to:
- – In-Home Care
- – Nursing Visits
- – Companion services to Doctors Appointments/Errands
- – Housekeeping
Since we work under the parent company of BJCC we also have Social Workers who will help with services including:
- – Benefits and Entitlements
- – Housing Assistance
- – Transportation
- – Food Assistance
Accessing Home Care is really easy and can be done in a few simple steps.
- Call Us at 718-652-5500
- Ask to speak to Emanuel Badger, Field Service Manager, or Wilhelmina Hobson, Director of Patient Services
- Applicants must either have Medicaid or private pay/private insurance. If you do not have Medicaid our Social Workers will guide you in applying. If you do not qualify we will write up a contract for you and assign a home attendant to service you.
- Once Medicaid is obtained, you must call your doctor to have them assess that you need Home Care Services and create an order.
- You must call your insurance company and inform them that you need Home Care Services (providing them with your doctor’s order) and request Bronx Jewish as your provider.
- The insurance company will make a field visit and determine how many hours are appropriate and for what type of care.
- The insurance company will let us know the days and hours assigned to the client and we will deploy home attendants to service the client.
*We are not a Certified Home Health Care so we are unable to accept clients with Medicare.
