Home care in DUMBO is private duty, non-medical support delivered in the home by a New York State Certified Home Health Aide under Registered Nurse supervision.

Care is available hourly, overnight, live-in, or around the clock. Call (516) 408-0034.

Families searching for home care in DUMBO, Brooklyn NY 11201 are almost always trying to answer one urgent question: how do we keep a parent safely in a home they built from nothing — in a neighborhood they arrived in before the world decided it was worth noticing — without taking them out of the only place that has ever felt entirely like theirs?

It is the right question. And in DUMBO, it carries a weight that is specific to this neighborhood and to no other.

The older adults who need care in DUMBO today are not the tech workers or young professionals who define its current reputation. They are the artists who moved into the warehouses on Water Street and Front Street in the 1970s when those buildings were abandoned, when the rents were almost nothing, when no one used the name DUMBO because no one was paying attention. They are the early settlers who turned raw industrial space into studios and living spaces with their own hands. They are the people who were here before Brooklyn Bridge Park existed, before the Jane's Carousel was restored, before the Washington Street photograph became one of the most recognizable images of New York City.

Their relationship to their loft is not simply attachment. It is the physical record of a life spent in a place before the world noticed it.

7 Day Home Care provides experienced private duty home care in DUMBO, Brooklyn NY 11201, supporting older adults who want to remain safely in the lofts and apartments they have called home for decades. All care is delivered by New York State Certified Home Health Aides supervised by Registered Nurses. Every caregiver is our employee — background-checked, insured, and RN-supervised. We are not a registry or referral platform.

We provide non-medical home care only. We do not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, skilled nursing, or clinical home health services.

Who Is Home Care in DUMBO For?

Quick Answer — Who Needs Home Care in DUMBO, Brooklyn 11201?

Home care in DUMBO is for older adults — typically in their seventies, eighties, or nineties — who want to remain safely in their loft, warehouse apartment, or Vinegar Hill home in ZIP code 11201 while receiving consistent daily support. It is also for their families: adult children in nearby Brooklyn neighborhoods or Manhattan who visit regularly but cannot be present every weekday morning when the freight elevator needs to be used, the medication needs to be managed, or the concrete floor needs to be navigated safely.

Home care in DUMBO is typically the right solution when:

A parent lives alone in a warehouse loft and a progressive condition — Parkinson's disease, balance decline, post-surgical limitations — has made daily navigation of the freight elevator or open floor plan a specific risk. Adult children in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn Heights, or Manhattan visit regularly but cannot provide consistent weekday morning coverage. Memory loss or cognitive decline has begun affecting daily structure, medication management, or safe navigation of a large open loft space. A recent discharge from NYU Langone Brooklyn or NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist has made the gap in daily coverage undeniable. A longtime DUMBO artist or creative professional has reached the point where self-sufficiency is creating risk rather than freedom, but has not yet found an arrangement they can accept on their own terms.

What Makes DUMBO Different for Home Care?

Quick Answer — What Is the DUMBO Neighborhood in Brooklyn?

DUMBO — Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass — is a Brooklyn neighborhood in ZIP code 11201, situated between the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges along the East River waterfront. Known for its converted warehouse lofts, cobblestone streets, freight elevator buildings, and Brooklyn Bridge Park, its older adult population includes the artists and early settlers who arrived in the 1970s and 1980s before the neighborhood became one of Brooklyn's most expensive addresses.

DUMBO occupies a compact but architecturally remarkable geography: bounded by the Manhattan Bridge to the north, the Brooklyn Bridge to the south, the East River waterfront to the west, and the BQE to the east. Its cobblestone streets — particularly the iconic view of the Manhattan Bridge framed by Washington Street — have made it one of the most photographed corners of New York City. Brooklyn Bridge Park runs along its western edge.

The neighborhood's housing stock is unlike anything else in Brooklyn. Massive warehouse buildings converted into raw artist lofts and luxury condominiums. Freight elevators as primary building access. Fourteen-foot ceilings, concrete floors, and wall-spanning industrial windows. Vinegar Hill to the north — a small historic enclave of nineteenth-century rowhouses accessible via Hudson Avenue, home to families who have been in those houses for generations.

That extraordinary architectural variety, combined with the specific demographic reality of DUMBO's older population — artists and early settlers who chose this place when it was raw and have stayed as it transformed around them — shapes how care works here in ways that require genuine local knowledge to navigate.

A DUMBO Family — The Loft on Water Street

A family contacted us about their father, who had lived in the same converted warehouse loft on Water Street in DUMBO since 1981. He was seventy-nine. He had been a painter. He had moved into the building when it was still operating as an industrial space, secured a lease for the top floor, and spent the next forty years making it into one of the most extraordinary living spaces in Brooklyn — fourteen-foot ceilings, concrete floors, north-facing industrial windows spanning the entire wall, a freight elevator as the only access from the street.

He had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease three years before his family called us. The condition had progressed. His gait had changed. The freight elevator — which required manual operation, a sliding gate, and a specific technique that he had performed ten thousand times — had become something he thought about carefully every time he used it. The concrete floors were an unforgiving surface in the event of a fall.

His daughter lived in Carroll Gardens. His son was in Manhattan. Both visited regularly. Neither could be there every morning.

He had a Genworth long-term care insurance policy that his late wife had arranged in 1997. He knew it existed. He had not kept careful track of where the documents were. His daughter found them after two days of searching.

We verified the Genworth policy, confirmed the benefit period and daily maximum, submitted the initial claim, and managed all ongoing documentation. The family signed the authorization.

We began with a Registered Nurse assessment of the loft — not a generic residential assessment but a specific evaluation of this freight-elevator, concrete-floor, open-plan environment and what it meant for a client with Parkinson's disease. The RN identified the specific risk geography, developed movement protocols, and built a care plan designed for this loft, not for a conventional apartment.

We assigned a consistent aide five mornings per week. Within three weeks the aide knew the elevator mechanism, the floor, the morning medication sequence, the specific movement patterns the Parkinson's created on good days and difficult days.

His daughter called us two months in.

"He is still in the loft. He is still painting — not every day, but regularly. That was always the only thing that mattered. I wish we had started this when the diagnosis came, not two years later. The policy was there. The arrangement was possible. We just didn't know how to begin."

Why Do DUMBO's Original Residents Resist Care — and How Is That Addressed?

The people who moved into DUMBO's warehouses in the 1970s and 1980s were, almost by definition, people who had rejected conventional domestic arrangements in favor of something they built themselves. They made spaces work that other people said were not livable. They solved problems that conventional thinking said could not be solved. They valued self-sufficiency not as an abstract virtue but as the practical basis of creative life.

When health changes and care becomes necessary, that history of independence does not disappear. It creates a specific kind of resistance — not stubbornness in the ordinary sense, but a deep-rooted difficulty with the idea that a space they designed and built for themselves now requires someone else's help to navigate safely.

In our experience, what works with this community is honesty and precision rather than persuasion. An arrangement presented as a practical, professionally organized response to a specific physical situation — the elevator on a difficult Parkinson's morning, the concrete floor and the distance to the bathroom — is different from care presented as something they need because they can no longer manage. The framing matters. The specificity matters. An aide who enters the loft with genuine respect for what the space represents, who understands the building and the client's specific limitations, and who provides support without overriding the client's remaining agency — that is the arrangement that works in DUMBO.

Once it is in place, resistance typically dissolves faster than families expect. Not because the client was persuaded. Because the experience was different from what they had anticipated.

Can Home Care Work in DUMBO's Freight Elevator Lofts and Warehouse Buildings?

Quick Answer — Can Home Care Work in DUMBO Warehouse Lofts?

Yes. 7 Day Home Care regularly provides home care in DUMBO's converted warehouse lofts, freight elevator buildings, and industrial residential spaces in ZIP code 11201. Our Registered Nurse conducts a home safety assessment specific to the actual loft — evaluating the freight elevator mechanism, open floor plan, concrete surfaces, bathroom configuration, and building entry logistics — and develops movement protocols tailored to that specific residence, not a generic loft category.

DUMBO's residential loft environments present care planning challenges that have no parallel elsewhere in Brooklyn.

Freight elevators require manual operation — a sliding gate, a lever mechanism, and floor alignment management. For a client with Parkinson's disease, where gait freezing can occur at thresholds and transitions, the freight elevator is not incidental to the care plan. The specific mechanism of the specific elevator in the specific building determines the appropriate protocol.

Open concrete floor plans create fall risk profiles fundamentally different from subdivided apartment layouts. In a conventional apartment, walls and doorframes provide natural support points every few feet. In a DUMBO loft with two thousand square feet of open concrete floor, the distance from the bed to the bathroom may require navigating thirty or forty feet with no natural support. That is a clinical consideration that must be addressed specifically.

Building entries in DUMBO's warehouse conversions often involve exterior cobblestone, a vestibule entry, and elevator access before the residential floor is reached. Each threshold is a transition point that requires specific protocol for clients with movement disorders.

Our Registered Nurse's intake assessment in ZIP code 11201 is built around the actual residence — not a generic loft category.

What Home Health Aide Services Are Available in DUMBO, Brooklyn NY 11201?

Quick Answer — What Services Does 7 Day Home Care Provide in DUMBO?

7 Day Home Care provides hourly, overnight, live-in, and 24-hour non-medical home care in DUMBO, ZIP code 11201, by NYS Certified Home Health Aides under Registered Nurse supervision. Services include personal care, companion care, mobility and fall prevention in loft environments, Alzheimer's and dementia care, post-hospital recovery support, and long-term care insurance coordination.

All Home Health Aides are certified under the New York State Department of Health and supervised by our Registered Nurse. All services are non-medical. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout DUMBO, ZIP code 11201.

Personal Care

Dignified, respectful assistance with the activities of daily living: bathing and personal hygiene, dressing and grooming, mobility and transfer assistance, toileting and incontinence care, ambulation support, and medication reminders. In DUMBO, where many clients have maintained strong creative identities and a lifelong sense of self-sufficiency, personal care is delivered in a manner that preserves as much autonomy as possible. The temperament and consistency of the aide — their ability to provide support without overriding the client's remaining agency — matters as much as any clinical qualification.

Companion Care

Consistent, engaged presence that sustains quality of life between family visits: meaningful conversation, accompaniment on walks along the Brooklyn Bridge Park waterfront or DUMBO's cobblestone streets, help with errands and appointments, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and laundry. For clients whose daily life has been organized around creative work and a neighborhood they watched transform for forty years, maintaining connection to that life is not incidental to their health. It is central to it.

Mobility Assistance and Fall Prevention in DUMBO Loft Environments

Non-medical support for clients managing mobility limitations in DUMBO's distinctive residential environments. Our Registered Nurse conducts a home safety assessment specific to the client's actual residence in ZIP code 11201 — evaluating the freight elevator mechanism, the open floor plan and natural support point availability, bathroom configuration, building entry logistics, and the specific distance and surface type of every significant mobility pathway in the loft. Movement protocols are developed for the specific residence. Consistent caregiver assignment ensures aides build the environment-specific knowledge — the elevator gate, the floor geography, the morning movement patterns of a Parkinson's client in this specific space — that prevents falls before they happen.

Alzheimer's and Dementia Care

Patient, structured non-medical support for clients at all stages of cognitive decline: consistent daily routines, orientation and reassurance, safe supervision, communication adapted to cognitive stage, coordination with physicians and neurologists, and family respite support. For DUMBO clients with dementia who have lived in the same loft for decades, the familiarity of that specific environment — the particular light, the specific sounds, the spatial experience of a space they designed — is a therapeutic resource worth protecting. Consistent caregiver assignment is critical: familiar faces and predictable structure reduce anxiety in ways no clinical intervention can replicate.

Overnight Care

Attentive non-medical supervision during the hours when falls and confusion are most likely: nighttime mobility support across open concrete floor plans, bathroom assistance, fall monitoring, dementia disorientation support, and bedtime routines. Available seven nights per week throughout DUMBO, ZIP code 11201. For clients in loft environments where the nighttime bathroom trip requires navigating a significant open floor, overnight care is often the most important single care element.

Live-In Home Care

A dedicated caregiver remains in the home for extended shifts with scheduled rest periods. DUMBO's warehouse lofts — with their generous square footage — are among the most naturally suited residential environments for live-in arrangements. For clients who benefit from consistent daily presence and whose loft has space to accommodate a live-in arrangement, this structure is often the most effective and least disruptive.

24-Hour Home Care

Rotating caregivers provide coverage across all hours. Appropriate for clients with advanced dementia, significant fall risk in open loft environments, or care needs requiring someone attentive and present at all times. Shift structure is managed by our care coordination team to ensure consistency and thorough briefing between caregivers on the specific loft layout and the client's specific risk profile.

Post-Surgery and Stroke Recovery

Non-medical support during the recovery period following hospitalization: assistance with daily activities, medication reminders, mobility support within the loft environment, and coordination with discharge planning staff at NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn at 150 55th Street and NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital at 506 Sixth Street. For clients returning to DUMBO's freight elevator buildings and open loft spaces following surgery or stroke, the home environment assessment is especially important. We provide non-medical care only. Skilled nursing and therapy services require a Certified Home Health Agency referral.

Cancer Support Care

Compassionate non-medical assistance through treatment and recovery: practical help with daily activities during treatment, emotional support and companionship, transportation to treatment appointments, and coordination with oncology care teams.

Respite Care

Scheduled relief for family caregivers managing care directly. In DUMBO, where adult children in nearby Brooklyn neighborhoods or Manhattan are often genuinely involved, respite care allows family members to stop organizing their week around the gaps in coverage and start trusting that those gaps are filled. That shift changes the quality of every visit that follows.

What Conditions Does Home Care Support in DUMBO, NY 11201?

Home care in DUMBO, ZIP code 11201, frequently supports older adults managing:

• Alzheimer's disease and related dementias
• Parkinson's disease and progressive movement disorders with specific attention to loft environment mobility protocols
• Arthritis and joint-related mobility limitations
• Spinal stenosis
• Stroke recovery and post-stroke rehabilitation
• Post-surgical recovery including orthopedic and cardiac procedures
• COPD and cardiac conditions
• Cancer treatment and recovery
• Diabetes management support
• General age-related decline and fall risk in open loft and warehouse conversion environments

Care plans are developed through Registered Nurse assessment and reflect each client's specific conditions, home environment in ZIP code 11201, and daily routine. All services are non-medical.

How Does Home Care Begin After Hospital Discharge in DUMBO?

Quick Answer — How Does Home Care Begin After Hospital Discharge in DUMBO, Brooklyn?

When a DUMBO client is discharged from NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn or NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, 7 Day Home Care works directly with hospital discharge planning staff to establish non-medical home care before the patient returns to ZIP code 11201. We receive the discharge plan, review therapy recommendations, and aim to have a caregiver assignment confirmed before discharge day — with specific attention to the loft environment the client is returning to.

DUMBO residents in ZIP code 11201 are primarily served by NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn at 150 55th Street and NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital at 506 Sixth Street. Both are accessible from DUMBO without requiring a trip into Manhattan. Patients may also receive specialty care at major Manhattan medical centers via the Brooklyn Bridge or the A and C subway lines.

For clients returning to DUMBO's freight elevator buildings and open loft environments following surgery or stroke, the home environment assessment is especially important — the specific mechanism of the elevator, the floor plan of the loft, and the distance to the bathroom are clinical considerations that must be addressed before the client arrives home.

We provide non-medical home care only. Skilled nursing and clinical therapy services following discharge are provided separately by a Certified Home Health Agency under a physician's order.

When Do DUMBO Families Need Home Care?

Quick Answer — When Do DUMBO Families Usually Arrange Home Care?

DUMBO families typically arrange home care after a Parkinson's or balance-related fall risk identification, a hospital discharge, the recognition that an aging artist or creative professional can no longer safely navigate a freight elevator or open loft floor plan alone, or the discovery of an unused long-term care insurance policy. The decision is often preceded by a period of resistance from a client whose self-sufficiency has been a core value throughout their adult life.

When the Freight Elevator Becomes a Risk

A client who has operated the same freight elevator ten thousand times without incident begins to think carefully about each use. A gait change from Parkinson's, a balance shift from age-related decline, a post-surgical limitation — any of these can make the freight elevator the specific event that makes daily care immediately necessary in DUMBO.

After Hospital Discharge From NYU Langone Brooklyn or NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist

A client is discharged and returns to a loft with concrete floors, a freight elevator, and forty feet of open floor between the bed and the bathroom. The family can manage the first day. They cannot manage every morning for the following month.

When the Independent Spirit Has Delayed a Necessary Decision

The client who built a living space from raw industrial nothing does not easily accept that the space now requires someone else's help to navigate. The right arrangement — specific, professionally organized, designed around the loft rather than despite it — is the one that makes acceptance possible.

When a Long-Term Care Insurance Policy Surfaces

A Genworth, John Hancock, MetLife, Brighthouse, UNUM or CNA policy from the 1990s is found during a family conversation or estate review. The benefits are typically larger than families assumed. We handle the entire activation process.

When Family in Carroll Gardens or Manhattan Cannot Cover Weekdays

Adult children in nearby Brooklyn neighborhoods or Manhattan visit regularly. The weekday mornings — when the elevator needs to be used, the medication needs to be managed, the bathroom trip across forty feet of concrete floor carries specific risk — are the gap that professional care fills.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Care in DUMBO, Brooklyn

Can 7 Day Home Care provide home health aides for a parent in a DUMBO warehouse loft with a freight elevator, ZIP code 11201?

Yes — and this is one of the most specific care environments we work in throughout Brooklyn. Our Registered Nurse conducts a home safety assessment specific to the client's actual loft in ZIP code 11201, evaluating the freight elevator mechanism, the open floor plan and natural support point availability, bathroom configuration, and building entry logistics. We develop movement protocols for that specific residence, not a generic loft category, and maintain consistent caregiver assignment so the aide who arrives each morning knows the elevator gate, the floor geography, and the client's specific movement patterns. For clients with Parkinson's disease, stroke-related weakness, or post-surgical limitations, that specific familiarity prevents falls that an aide encountering the environment for the first time cannot prevent.

Does 7 Day Home Care coordinate with NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn when a DUMBO client is discharged?

Yes. When a client is discharged from NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn at 150 55th Street or NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital at 506 Sixth Street — the hospitals most commonly serving DUMBO residents in ZIP code 11201 — our care coordination team works directly with hospital discharge planning staff to establish non-medical home care before the patient returns home. We receive the discharge plan, review physical and occupational therapy recommendations, and aim to have a caregiver assignment confirmed before discharge day. For clients returning to DUMBO's freight elevator buildings and open loft environments, the home environment assessment during discharge planning is especially important. We provide non-medical care only. Skilled nursing and therapy services are provided separately by a Certified Home Health Agency.

Is 7 Day Home Care an approved provider for Genworth Long-Term Care Insurance in DUMBO, Brooklyn NY 11201?

Yes. 7 Day Home Care is an approved provider for Genworth Long Term Care Insurance. Families in DUMBO, ZIP code 11201, can use Genworth policy benefits directly for both hourly and live-in non-medical home care services. Our care coordination team handles the full benefit verification process and works directly with Genworth on authorization, documentation, and ongoing claims coordination on your behalf.

We found a long-term care insurance policy from the 1990s that was never used. Can 7 Day Home Care help activate it for care in DUMBO?

Yes, and this is one of the most common situations we help DUMBO families navigate. Policies purchased in the 1990s — often arranged by a spouse or partner and not carefully tracked by the policyholder — are frequently discovered during family care conversations or estate reviews. Our care coordination team handles the full process: verifying the policy is active, confirming the benefit period and daily maximum, submitting the initial claim, and managing ongoing documentation. The benefits are typically more substantial than families assumed. Call (516) 408-0034 before drawing any conclusions about what the policy covers.

Does home care from a licensed LHCSA count toward satisfying a long-term care insurance elimination period?

In most cases, yes. Most long-term care insurance policies include an elimination period — typically 30, 60, or 90 days — during which the policyholder must receive qualifying care before ongoing benefits begin. Private duty home care provided by a licensed LHCSA typically counts toward satisfying that elimination period from the first day of care. Many families delay initiating care assuming they need a hospitalization or facility stay to start the clock — when in fact arranging licensed home care sooner begins the elimination period immediately. Policy terms vary. Call (516) 408-0034 before making assumptions about your timeline.

Our father is a longtime DUMBO artist with Parkinson's disease and is resistant to accepting help. How does 7 Day Home Care approach this?

This is one of the most common conversations we have with families in DUMBO. The people who built lives in DUMBO's warehouses built those lives around self-sufficiency and creative independence. In our experience, precision works better than persuasion. Care presented as a specific, professionally organized response to a specific physical situation — the elevator on a difficult Parkinson's morning, the concrete floor and the distance to the bathroom — is received differently than care presented as something they need because they can no longer manage. We are glad to discuss how to approach the initial conversation before any care is arranged.

Does 7 Day Home Care provide 24-hour non-medical home care for seniors with dementia in DUMBO?

Yes. 7 Day Home Care provides 24-hour non-medical in-home care for seniors with Alzheimer's, dementia, and related cognitive conditions throughout DUMBO, ZIP code 11201. Care is structured in rotating shifts to ensure caregivers remain rested and attentive. We assign a consistent primary team to each client. For clients in large open loft environments, consistent caregiver assignment is especially important — a client with dementia in a 2,000 square foot open loft benefits from a caregiver who knows every corner of that space.

What is the difference between live-in care and 24-hour care in DUMBO?

Live-in care involves one dedicated caregiver remaining in the home for extended shifts with scheduled rest periods — DUMBO's warehouse lofts with their generous square footage are among the best-suited environments for live-in care in this series. 24-hour care involves rotating caregivers providing continuous awake coverage — appropriate for clients with advanced dementia, significant fall risk in open loft environments, or conditions requiring continuous supervision. The right structure depends on the client's specific needs in ZIP code 11201. Our care coordination team helps determine which fits your situation.

Does 7 Day Home Care provide home care agency services on Front Street in DUMBO Brooklyn, New York for Alzheimer's patients?

Yes, 7 Day Home Care provides specialized home care agency services on Front Street in DUMBO Brooklyn, New York, for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients, offering compassionate and professional in-home support tailored to the unique challenges of memory loss.

How quickly can non-medical home care begin in DUMBO, Brooklyn?

Timing depends on caregiver availability, care type, and the specifics of the situation. For families coordinating around a hospital discharge from NYU Langone Brooklyn or NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist, we work to establish a care plan before the client leaves the facility. For families responding to a fall or newly identified safety concern in ZIP code 11201, we aim to begin the intake process promptly. Call (516) 408-0034 for a direct and honest assessment of current availability.

What is the difference between non-medical home care and skilled home health care?

Non-medical home care — which is what 7 Day Home Care provides — includes personal care, companion care, mobility assistance, medication reminders, meal preparation, and safety supervision. It does not include medical treatment, wound care, injections, skilled nursing, or physical and occupational therapy. Skilled home health care is provided by a Certified Home Health Agency under a physician's order and may be covered by Medicare. Many DUMBO families use both: skilled services during an acute recovery period following hospitalization, and non-medical home care for ongoing daily support. Call (516) 408-0034 to discuss which applies to your situation.

Which long-term care insurance providers does 7 Day Home Care work with for DUMBO clients?

7 Day Home Care works with CNA, Brighthouse, Genworth, Mutual of Omaha, MetLife, Transamerica, John Hancock, MassMutual, Lincoln Benefit Life, Northwestern Mutual, New York Life, UNUM, Bankers Life, and others.

The Right Time to Call Is Usually Now

DUMBO families who have been through this process — the ones who found the Genworth policy after two days of searching, the ones who waited until the freight elevator became a specific risk before naming it as one, the ones whose artist father accepted an arrangement he had resisted for two years because it was designed for his specific loft rather than despite it — tend to say the same thing afterward.

They wish they had started the conversation sooner.

Not because something catastrophic happened. Because the relief that arrives when consistent, trusted, specifically designed care is in place — for the person receiving it and for the family around them — is larger than most families anticipate.

"He is still in the loft. He is still painting. That was always the only thing that mattered. I wish we had started this when the diagnosis came, not two years later. The policy was there. The arrangement was possible. We just didn't know how to begin."
