Overview of Norwegian Christian Home and Health Center

Norwegian Christian Home and Health Center sits at 1250 67th Street in Brooklyn. It’s a nursing home in a very walkable pocket of the neighborhood, Walk Score 84, so getting around on foot for errands or a coffee run isn’t a problem for visiting family.

The building has 135 beds. Right now 28 of them are filled, which puts occupancy at 21 percent, so there’s real room for new residents if a family is ready to move forward. One thing to know going in: pets aren’t allowed here, so that’s not part of the picture for anyone hoping to bring a dog or cat along.

On the nursing side, RNs put in 51 minutes per resident each day, and when you add up every type of nursing staff, residents get 3 hours and 11 minutes of nursing care daily. Nurse aides make up the biggest chunk of that, at 2 hours and 19 minutes, with LPNs adding another 30 minutes. Numbers like these are worth asking about directly, since they translate into how much hands-on attention a resident actually gets.

Paying for care here can go a few different ways: Medicare, Medicaid, or private pay are all accepted, so families have some flexibility depending on what coverage looks like for them.

New York’s Department of Health, through its Office of Aging and Long Term Care, is the regulator that inspects this facility. Looking at what inspectors tend to focus on, infection control, emergency readiness, hazardous-materials handling, and how well the facility documents its care planning come up again and again, which tracks with what regulators watch closely at nursing homes across the state.

Between the low current occupancy and a full range of payment options accepted, this is a facility with real openings and real flexibility for families trying to figure out their next step.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Brooklyn, NY

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in New York?

Assisted living in New York supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in New York?

Assisted living in New York is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does New York Medicaid cover assisted living?

New York Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including New York) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 19 assisted living facilities in Brooklyn, NY. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Brooklyn, NY?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Brooklyn, NY, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Brooklyn, NY?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
