In-home care Caregivers come directly to your home across Brooklyn |
Every child’s needs look different. Some families need a caregiver for a few hours a week. Others need daily help with routines, mobility, or communication. Welcome Care builds a plan around what your child actually needs, not a fixed package.
Some children are still working through an initial diagnosis. Others already have one and are further along in the process, such as families whose child qualifies for OPWDD-funded support. Either way, we start from where your family already is rather than asking you to fit into a set program.
Our team typically helps with:
According to Family Voices, families raising a child with special health care needs often face added strain on top of everyday parenting. Most families we work with are simply looking for steady, dependable help rather than a long list of services. Our Pediatrics and OPWDD Special Needs page walks through how these supports connect for families who also qualify for state-funded programs. Our Pediatric Home Health Aide Services page covers what a typical caregiving schedule looks like once a caregiver is in place.
Raising a child with special needs in Brooklyn often means juggling therapy appointments, school meetings, and work schedules with very little room to spare. Many households across Sheepshead Bay, Midwood, and Gravesend also manage this in a language other than English, which adds one more layer to an already full plate.
According to HRSA, about 1 in 5 children in the United States has a special health care need. That means most Brooklyn families dealing with this are far from alone, even when it feels that way some weeks.
Finding a caregiver who actually fits your child’s routine can take longer than families expect. A rushed match often falls apart within weeks, which forces families to start the search over again from scratch. That cycle is exhausting, especially for parents who are already stretched thin.
We’ve seen this pattern often enough to know what usually goes wrong. Matches fail less because of a caregiver’s skill and more because nobody took the time to understand the family’s actual routine first.
You may want to reach out if:
Bringing special needs care in Brooklyn into your routine usually takes just a few conversations, not a long intake process. Most families are surprised by how quickly things move once they actually start, especially compared to what they expected going in.
Call our office or fill out a short form. We ask about your child’s needs, current diagnosis status, and your family’s schedule before anything else. This helps us understand your situation before we ever suggest a caregiver, so the first real conversation isn’t spent on basic background details.
Some families want a few hours a week. Others need daily support, or just occasional respite so a parent can rest. We walk through what actually makes sense for your household instead of offering one standard package that may not fit your child’s routine.
We consider your child’s needs, your family’s language, and your schedule before suggesting anyone. A rushed match rarely works out, so we take the time upfront instead of rushing to fill a slot just to close out the request quickly. This step alone tends to prevent most of the problems families run into elsewhere.
Needs shift over time, sometimes gradually and sometimes all at once. We stay involved so the plan can change without you having to start the whole search over again from the beginning, whether that means more hours, a different kind of support, or a new caregiver entirely.

Welcome Care has supported Brooklyn families since 2003. Most families come to us after a caregiver situation fell through somewhere else, often more than once. Getting special needs care in Brooklyn shouldn’t mean starting over every few months, and with us, it usually doesn’t.
We match based on your child’s routine and personality, not just whoever happens to be available that week. That extra step tends to be the difference between a caregiver who lasts and one who doesn’t.
Our staff speaks Russian, Hebrew, Spanish, Chinese, Creole, and several other languages spoken locally, so nothing gets lost between you and your child’s caregiver.
We can train a relative or close friend as a paid caregiver through our HHA Training School, so your child is cared for by someone they already trust rather than someone new.
If your child’s needs shift, we help you update the plan instead of starting from zero every time something changes.
Call (718) 232-4850 or fill out a short form on our site. We’ll ask about your child’s needs and schedule a first conversation with our team. Most families hear back within a day or two, so you’re not left waiting to find out what happens next.
We work with children who have autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and several other developmental or physical conditions. For families whose child has autism specifically, our OPWDD Autism Services page covers eligibility details some families ask about. If your child’s condition isn’t listed here, call us anyway. We can usually still help.
We work with families across most of the borough, including Sheepshead Bay, Midwood, Homecrest, Gravesend, Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Gerritsen Beach. If you’re not sure whether we cover your area, the easiest way to find out is to just call.
Our office is located at 3820 Nostrand Avenue, Suite 106, Brooklyn, NY 11235, near the Belt Parkway. Families driving in from Sheepshead Bay, Midwood, or Gravesend typically reach us in under 15 minutes, and the B4 and B36 bus lines both stop within walking distance for families without a car.
Families from these neighborhoods reach us easily by car or public transit:
If you’re coming from somewhere else in Brooklyn, don’t rule us out. Many families travel a bit further once they’ve had trouble finding the right caregiver closer to home.
