Home Care in the Southeast Bronx
Soundview and Castle Hill are shaped by their large public-housing campuses (Soundview, Castle Hill, Bronx River, Monroe) and by the co-op towers along the water, with a mostly Puerto Rican and Dominican population and growing Mexican, Bangladeshi and West African communities. Clason Point and Harding Park are different: small houses and bungalows on the Bronx’s southern shore where older residents have lived for decades and buses are infrequent. In the campuses, care is about elevators, long hallways and coordinating with family members who live in the same building; in Harding Park it is about a caregiver who can get there. Jacobi, Montefiore and BronxCare are the main hospitals, with Calvary for hospice-related needs.
