Home Care in Brooklyn from Our Office on 13th Avenue
Paid family caregivers, pediatric and OPWDD care, and home health aides, arranged from our office at 4107 13th Avenue in Borough Park.
Helping Hands Attendant Services is a Brooklyn home care agency at 4107 13th Avenue, in the 11219 zip code near Borough Park and Kensington. From this office we arrange care across the borough, including Sunset Park, Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Midwood, Flatbush, Park Slope, and Sheepshead Bay. If a parent is coming home from Maimonides Medical Center, NYU Langone Hospital in Brooklyn, NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist, or NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County, we can help you plan support before discharge day.
You can call us at (718) 435-8191, email info@helpinghandsatt.com, or stop by the office during weekday hours. Aides can work hourly, live-in, or around the clock, including weekends and holidays, once hours are approved or a private-pay plan is in place. We also offer a free in-home assessment.
Get paid to care for a relative in Brooklyn
Many Brooklyn families already provide the care themselves. After CDPAP ended and those cases moved to PPL, the statewide fiscal intermediary, a lot of households have been looking for a clearer local option. Our Family PCA/HHA Program lets a relative or trusted friend take free PCA/HHA training, get certified, and be hired by Helping Hands to care for a loved one who has New York Medicaid.
The caregiver is paid $22.40 an hour, including union benefits. Training is free, and care can begin in a few days to about a month. Siblings, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and many other relatives or friends may qualify. The patient’s spouse, parent, child, son-in-law, or daughter-in-law cannot be the paid aide. If you are leaving CDPAP or another agency, call us and we will confirm who can be paid. For the full rules, see Who Can Be a Paid Caregiver for a Relative in New York?.
Pediatric and OPWDD home care in Brooklyn
Parents in Borough Park, Midwood, Flatbush, and across Brooklyn often need in-home help for a child with a developmental disability or complex medical needs. Our pediatric home care team supports children with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, and chronic medical needs. Aides help with daily routines, school, and outings, and they give parents respite. Overnight or 24/7 pediatric care can be arranged when it is approved.
Children with Medicaid can often receive hours through their Medicaid health plan, even before OPWDD eligibility is finished. We also help families apply to OPWDD. Once a child is found eligible, OPWDD can fund speech, physical, and occupational therapy, respite, and other supports. Parents cannot be the paid aide, but a grandparent, aunt, uncle, adult sibling, cousin, or family friend can take free HHA training and care for the child through Helping Hands. See also our guide to home care for children with autism in NYC.
Home health aides and personal care in Brooklyn
If you need a Helping Hands aide rather than a relative, our home health aide services cover personal care, meals, medication reminders, mobility, light housekeeping, and escorts to appointments. We match caregivers by language, personality, and schedule. Our team speaks English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, French, Russian, Cantonese, and Mandarin.
We work with Medicaid, Medicaid managed long-term care (MLTC) plans, long-term care insurance, and private pay. Medicare does not cover this kind of ongoing home care. If you want care to start immediately, our Private Client Program can begin right after a nurse assessment. Ask us about NHTD or TBI waiver services if nursing-facility-level support at home is the goal.
