Overview of Norwegian Christian Home & Health Center

Thirty years of long-term care leadership doesn’t happen by accident, and Anthony Restaino brings exactly that to Norwegian Christian Home & Health Center, where he’s served as Executive Director since 2019. The facility itself sits at 1250 67th Street in Brooklyn’s Dyker Heights neighborhood, a mid-rise building built around rehabilitation and skilled nursing care. A Walk Score of 89 puts this squarely in “very walkable” territory, meaning most errands and everyday essentials sit within a short walk rather than a drive.

The care model leans clinical and short-stay focused: rehabilitation services, respite care, and short-term rehab sit alongside skilled nursing, subacute rehab, and outpatient rehab. Daily life outside direct care gets real attention too. A movie auditorium, an on-site café, a rooftop conservatory, and a fitness center anchor the amenity offering, while a steady mix of social events, learning lectures, and intergenerational programming keeps the calendar active.

On the regulatory side, state inspection attention here has centered on care planning and documentation, the kind of routine category inspectors look at across nursing homes broadly.

What Norwegian Christian Home & Health Center offers, in the end, is experienced clinical leadership paired with a genuinely rounded amenity set, built for residents navigating rehabilitation or ongoing skilled nursing needs, in one of Brooklyn’s more walkable neighborhoods.
