Your Name Is Norwegian Christian Home And
Health Center. But I Am Neither Norwegian
Nor Christian. Would I Be Welcome There?

This is the question we hear most often. The answer is an unqualified yes. It is true that we were founded by Norwegian-Americans to take care of the elderly from Scandinavian countries. We are still guided by the Christian sense of mission that has always been with us. But we are a compassionate business organization that offers its services to all in need who qualify for admission. Consequently, we welcome people from every nationality and faith.

 

What Is The Difference Between Your Retirement
Community And Your Assisted Living Facility?

Residents in our Retirement Community live a totally independent life in their own apartments. They have access to a wealth of services and conveniences including prepared meals, recreational facilities, excursions and entertainment. Those who live in our Assisted Living Facility need, and receive, much more help with the challenges of daily living, including general medical oversight, meals, medications and housekeeping.

 

How Soon Can A Person Be Admitted
To Your Care?

Please contact our Admissions Coordinator to find out what our current availability is. Our facilities develop vacancies at unpredictable times, and our estimates of waiting time are often just educated guesses. We do maintain a waiting list for those who can anticipate what their future needs might be.

 

Is There Any Financial Assistance Available?

We are approved by the State of New York and the federal government for Medicare and Medicaid programs. We are fully certificated and licensed for all of the programs we offer. If there is any question, we cooperate fully with all of your inquiries, as well as those from your insurance company.

 

What Kind Of Rehabilitation Programs
Do You Offer?

Our short-term rehabilitation facility is staffed with physical, speech and occupational therapists as well as specialist physicians, nurses and technicians. Their experience includes recovery from joint replacement surgery, sports injuries, temporary effects of a stroke and other trauma.

 

What Are Your Visiting Hours?

We welcome visitors during the normal daytime hours and into the evenings. Children, accompanied by adults, are also welcome to visit. Considerations for the security of our residents, patients and staff make it mandatory that all visitors register in and out and provide positive identification.

 

Can Your Residents/Patients Leave The Facility
For An Excursion?

Yes. We may request positive identification of those escorting and/or transporting our residents. We also provide some trips to nearby shopping centers and other points of interest, for those who wish to enjoy an outing and are capable of the effort.
