HHA Jobs in the Bronx: Cases Near Home, Bilingual Demand and How to Get Started
The Bronx has some of the highest home care demand in New York State, and most of it is Medicaid cases in the neighborhoods where aides already live. Here is how to get placed close to home.
Advantage Home Care hires home health aides and personal care aides throughout the Bronx from our office at 391 East 149th Street (3rd floor, Room 319). You need a current New York State HHA or PCA certificate, a recent physical and required health records, ID and work authorization, and references. Bilingual Spanish/English aides are placed fastest because most families ask for them. Apply online or call 718-375-2707.
Where the Bronx Cases Are
Medicaid home care demand runs through every part of the borough: Mott Haven, Hunts Point and Melrose near our office; Tremont, Highbridge and the Grand Concourse; Soundview, Castle Hill and Parkchester in the east; Fordham, Kingsbridge and Norwood in the northwest; Co-op City, Wakefield and Baychester in the north. Cases are assigned by where the aide can reach reliably, so an aide who lives on the 2, 5 or 6 line is usually placed within a few stops of home. Families ask for Spanish first, then Bangla, French and West African languages, Albanian and Italian in Morris Park and Belmont, and English everywhere.
What a Licensed Agency Checks
An HHA or PCA certificate from a New York State-approved program, current in the state’s Home Care Registry.
A recent physical, required immunizations and screenings as set by state rules; we tell you exactly which at the interview.
Government ID, Social Security number, work authorization, and the state-required criminal history record check.
Two references and a clear picture of the days, nights or weekends you can work; reliability is what earns steady cases.
