The population of school-age children living with disabilities in New York City has risen beyond 200,000 in recent years. With many of these individuals requiring advanced full-time care, the demand for high-quality, reliable service in the Bronx has never been higher, which is why Amelia Home Care is reaching out to eligible families now.

Recent studies have shown that live-in care services such as those offered by Amelia Home Care may be effective at significantly improving outcomes for children with developmental disabilities. Of the 11 million children in the country who have been diagnosed with severe disability, around half now have at least 5 hours of daily access to live-in care services.

The primary benefits of these services come from the fact that children with disabilities may often find unfamiliar environments—especially medical settings—to be stressful. Home care offers an alternative that allows children with disabilities to remain comfortable, even while receiving medical treatment or intensive therapies.

A spokesperson explained further, “Starting pediatric home care can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. At Amelia Home Care, we simplify the process by offering step-by-step guidance from the initial consultation to ongoing care. To begin, families typically need to provide medical documentation, and we work with healthcare providers to ensure a seamless transition from hospital to home.”

Even in the face of these benefits, home care programs are becoming more expensive and less accessible for many families who need them. Amelia Home Care remains committed to connecting families to financial assistance initiatives and raising awareness of Medicaid coverage throughout 2025.

Those interested in taking advantage of these programs will first need to provide medical documentation of their child’s condition, including a detailed account of treatment requirements and medication. A full list of required materials can be found alongside the initial application form at the link below.
