BEST ASSISTED LIVING
NORWEGIAN CHRISTIAN HOME
1250 67th Street (718) 232-2322
The Norwegian Christian Home in Dyker
Heights has a history of serving the borough
it calls home. The center began its century
of service in 1903 caring for a small group of
elderly women. After changing its name in
1911 to the Norwegian Christian Home for
the Aged, it broadened its charter to admit
men. Since adding a skilled nursing facility
in 1973, it has adopted its present name, the
Norwegian Christian Home and Health Center
— and made a name for itself as the best
assisted living opportunity in all of Brooklyn.
Priding itself on compassion — which its
mission says is “as natural as respiration”
— the Norwegian Christian Home makes its
residents feel at home and taken care of, all
while providing good company. Residents
and patients of all faiths and backgrounds
are welcome at the home, where — despite
its name — is no obligation to subscribe to
the faith that drives it. In fact, the Norwegian
Christian Home embraces all. Pair that with
its support from leading service organizations
like the American Association of Homes and
Services for the Aging and its easy to see why
the Dyker Heights home for the aged is the
best assisted living facility in the borough.
