Mount Carmel Senior HDFC

Founded in 1883 by Methodist Church members to provide a comfortable residence for their “indigent” elderly, the first Home was situated on McDonough Street and Stuyvesant Avenue. As a result of the tireless efforts of some 200 women and men from virtually every Methodist church in Brooklyn, the number of applicants for admission grew so large that expansion was essential.

Founded in 1958, Saint Michael's Home is a New York State Department of Health-certified, residential adult care facility under the aegis of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. Its amenities include a dining room, patio area, recreation hall, and furnished private and semiprivate bedrooms, as well as a chapel, medical facility and fully equipped beauty salon. The services of St. Michael's Home are specifically designed for those individuals who seek assisted living in a Greek Orthodox environment. Saint Michael's Home coordinates recreational activities, such as weekly outings to theaters, shopping malls, museums, area parishes and local restaurants. It organizes weekly examinations by a podiatrist, psychologist, psychiatrist and geriatrics specialists, as well as dermatologist and optometrist. Saint Michael's Home is located in Yonkers, N.Y.
