In 1908, the New York Conference of the Augustana Lutheran Church recognized the need for a Swedish Lutheran Home for the aged. Led by Pastor Fritz Jacobson of the Bethlehem Lutheran Church, a Board of Directors was elected and a nineteen-room house was purchased to house eighteen residents.

Over the ensuing decades, Lutheran Augustana Center for Extended Care and Rehabilitation (formerly known as Augustana Lutheran Home for the Aged, Inc.) and the services it provided expanded, while remaining at its 60th Street and 17th Avenue location. By the 1970’s, the changing needs of the residents and the community made functioning in the existing building difficult. Plans were made to rebuild on the same site by tearing down and rebuilding in phases.

After numerous delays, a decision was made to rebuild Augustana on the campus of the Lutheran Medical Center in the Sunset Park section of Brooklyn. Construction was completed in March 1995, enabling eighty-nine residents to move into their new home on May 5th of the same year.

Augustana has six nursing units of forty beds, for a total of 240 extended care and rehabilitation beds with access to the sophisticated medical technology of Lutheran Medical Center by way of a connecting skyway. The Home has formal affiliations with several local health care agencies inclusive of Calvary Hospital Hospice, the Sunset Park Dialysis Center and also has numerous academic affiliations with local colleges and universities in all professional disciplines.

As we approach the future, the Lutheran Augustana Center and its dedicated and caring staff will continue to fulfill its mission by providing an environment where residents can thrive and live full and meaningful lives.
