What FreedomCare Provides in Brooklyn

We are a licensed agency, which means we employ your aide. FreedomCare hires, trains, certifies, supervises, and pays them. You do not take on payroll or employment paperwork. A registered nurse assesses your needs, visits on a regular schedule, and adjusts your plan of care as things change.

An aide helps with bathing, dressing, transfers, cooking, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and getting to appointments. Home Health Aides provide additional health-related support under nurse supervision. If your aide is unavailable, we arrange coverage.

Brooklyn is one of the most linguistically varied places in the country, and we work to match aides by language and cultural fit wherever possible.

Bringing Your Own Caregiver to FreedomCare in Brooklyn

If a family member has already been caring for you, FreedomCare can often enroll them as an employed aide. They complete certification training through us at no cost, become a FreedomCare employee, and get paid for their hours. For many Brooklyn families this simply formalizes something that has been happening for years.

New York limits which relationships qualify. Spouses face restrictions that depend on the specific program, and eligibility for other relatives depends on your situation. Adult children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and close friends are commonly approved. Call the Nostrand Avenue office and we will tell you what applies rather than have you plan around a maybe.

Medicaid Home Care Eligibility in Brooklyn

You will need active New York Medicaid and an assessed need for help with daily activities. Medicare by itself does not cover ongoing home care. Most Brooklyn residents receiving long-term care at home are enrolled in a Managed Long Term Care plan, and FreedomCare works with the plans operating in Kings County.

Approved hours come from the clinical assessment. If you already have an authorization from a plan, we can often start sooner than families expect.

How to Start Home Care in Brooklyn

Call the Brooklyn office. We will ask about your Medicaid status, your care needs, and whether you have someone in mind to be your aide. We coordinate the assessment and handle enrollment from there.

If you want to work as a certified aide in Brooklyn, we cover your training and certification and match you with a patient near you.
