Norwegian Christian Home & Health Center is a 135-bed nursing home at 1250 67th Street in the Dyker Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, operated as a voluntary non-profit under church governance. Executive Director Anthony Restaino, with over 30 years of long-term care leadership, has guided the community since 2019. The facility serves independent living, assisted living, respite care, and skilled nursing populations, with strong Medicare referral flow (67% of new residents) and shorter average lengths of stay (130 days overall).
Occupancy runs at 93 percent (ranked first among 348 New York nursing homes), reflecting consistent local demand. Staffing totals 184 personnel with a 1.43:1 ratio to residents, which is substantially above state norms. Daily nursing care averages 3 hours 11 minutes per resident (9% below the New York benchmark of 3 hours 29 minutes); weekend coverage holds at 3 hours 5 minutes per day. Nursing composition includes 23 registered nurses, 25 licensed practical nurses, and 75 certified nursing assistants, with 42% of hours supplied by contractors.
CMS ratings show strength in health inspections (40.8% above state) and staffing (11.1% above), balanced against quality measures 24.1% below state average.
Inspection history spanning January 2020 through December 2024 documents eight deficiencies across four inspections; all rated minimal harm and confined to three clinical areas.
January 2020 recertification identified deficiencies in MDS assessment timeliness, accuracy of resident functional assessments, and range-of-motion care provision. September 2022 brought findings around call bell accessibility for fall-prone residents, fall prevention intervention monitoring, and hand-sanitization gaps during infection control rounds. March 2023 infection control inspection found no violations. August 2024 recertification cited two deficiencies: baseline care plan communication to newly admitted residents and urinary catheter drainage bag placement protocols.
The most recent December 6, 2024 complaint investigation closed with zero findings.
No fines, enforcement actions, license suspensions, or critical violations appear in the regulatory record. Aggregate deficiency rate (zero per year) matches the state average of 5.1.
Quality outcomes for long-stay residents show uneven performance. Activities of daily living decline affects 26.1 percent (59% worse than state), walking ability worsens in 28.5 percent (72% worse), and 10.0 percent experience unintended weight loss (64% worse than state). Falls with major injury occur in 3.9 percent (30% above state). Urinary tract infections are rare at 0.8 percent (44% better than state).
Vaccination rates are strong: pneumococcal at 97.9 percent and influenza at 99.0 percent. Depressive symptoms affect just 1.7 percent of long-stay residents (91% better than state average), suggesting effective mental health care. The facility operates at a financial deficit of 4.5 million against 26.6 million in annual revenue, with payroll consuming 78.8 percent of operating costs.
Amenities include a private manicured garden with koi pond, movie auditorium, on-site café, rooftop conservatory, beauty parlor, fitness center, and library. Activities programming encompasses organized social events, learning lectures, and intergenerational engagement. The neighborhood is highly walkable (Walk Score 89), and Maimonides Medical Center sits 1.05 miles away.
The facility’s recent cleanliness of regulatory records contrasts with earlier deficiency clustering in infection control and care planning; both now corrected.
Families should verify protocols for catheter care management and infection prevention, and strategies for preventing functional decline in residents with high fall risk.

A composite 0–100 score combining this facility's inspections, citations, complaints, and enforcement actions relative to the New York state average. We don't score profiles with fewer than 3 inspections on record because a small inspection history reads as "below average" on every count-based metric — that would over-reward a facility just for being new.
