Licensed in-home care in Bronx, NY: how to compare agencies

In-home care means non-medical help that lets an older adult keep living at home: bathing and dressing, meals, housekeeping, errands, medication reminders and company. It is usually paid for privately, with long-term care insurance, a Medicaid program or VA benefits, not by Medicare. Compare at least three agencies, and ask each whether caregivers are employees, how they are screened, who supervises them, the minimum hours and the hourly rate.

In New York, the median rate for in-home care is $35 an hour, about $3,033 a month for 20 hours a week (CareScout 2025).

The 65 agencies on this list are based in 19 ZIP codes; the busiest are 10461 (9 agencies), 10462 (9 agencies) and 10467 (8 agencies). If Bronx has too few choices for your needs, the closest other cities we list are Mount Vernon (7 agencies, about 5 miles away), Yonkers (9 agencies, about 6 miles away) and New Rochelle (5 agencies, about 6 miles away).

Aging at home in Bronx

The Bronx is New York City's northernmost borough, with about 1.4 million residents and roughly 14 percent aged 65 or older. Housing runs from large cooperative complexes such as Co-op City and pre-war apartment buildings along the Grand Concourse to single-family homes in Riverdale, Pelham Bay and City Island. Adult children often live elsewhere in the city or country, so private-pay home care helps parents remain in familiar apartments and homes close to their churches, shops and neighbors.

Care that fits the routines of home often means getting to the places that matter: Bronx Zoo, New York Botanical Garden, Yankee Stadium, Pelham Bay Park, Van Cortlandt Park and Wave Hill.

Planning care in Bronx

The Bronx has hot, humid summers and cold, damp winters, and the urban heat effect keeps summer nights warm. The West Bronx has older apartment buildings, so stairs and mobility are central to planning. The western Bronx is hilly, while the eastern side is flatter. The New York City subway and buses serve much of the borough, but travel between the Bronx and other boroughs adds time, so choose agencies familiar with your area.

Local resources

  • Aging services. The local Area Agency on Aging is a free place to ask about services and programs that help pay: NYC Aging (Department for the Aging).
  • After a hospital stay. If a family member is discharged from Montefiore Medical Center, NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi, NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln and BronxCare Health System, ask the discharge planner about private-duty help at home, and choose the agency yourself from this list.

Questions Bronx families ask

How many licensed in-home care agencies are there in Bronx?

The state roster dated June 5, 2026 lists 65 agencies in Bronx with an active New York license. Agencies based in nearby towns may also serve Bronx.

How do I choose an in-home care agency in Bronx?

Call at least three. Ask whether caregivers are employees or independent contractors, how they are screened and supervised, the minimum hours and the hourly rate, and what happens when a caregiver is sick. Ask for a written care plan. Our guide to how to check an agency has the full list.

How are these agencies ranked?

Each agency has an active state license and at least 10 public reviews. The Care Close to Home Score is out of 100: 60 points for the review rating, adjusted so a handful of reviews counts for less than a hundred; 20 for the number of reviews; 15 for the license check; and 5 for a verified phone and website. Agencies cannot pay to rank higher.

How do families pay for in-home care in Bronx?

Most pay privately, by the hour. Long-term care insurance, Medicaid waivers and VA benefits can help with bathing help, meals, housekeeping or companionship.

What does "licensed" mean?

The agency holds a license from the state health department. Licensing sets minimum standards and allows the state to inspect and act on complaints, but it does not rate how good the care is.
