THE DANISH HOME is located in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, thirty-five miles north of New York City. The Danish Home is an independent retirement residence located on a historic estate. The classical half-timbered stone building, complete with courtyard, gazebos, vegetable garden and orchard, is home for up to 18 retired adults.

Licensed by the New York State Department of Health, the Danish Home is an Adult Care Facility (ACF). Residents enjoy three home-cooked meals a day, assistance with medications, housekeeping and a daily activity program. Local, international and intergenerational socialization occurs on a weekly basis.

At 105 years young, the Danish Home is in good health and spirit. The Danish Home is fortunate to have a committed Board of Directors and a truly caring and devoted staff, dedicated to preserving Danish traditions and enhancing the quality of life of its residents.

Christmas Open House

The Open House Christmas party on December 4 was a great success, og meget hyggeligt! Old and new friends filled the Danish Home's common rooms and corridors, sharing conversation and juletide greetings. As always, the Christmas cookies were swiftly eaten, along with the wienerbrød, æbleskiver, sandkage and strudel. Thanks to everyone who attended, and to the staff and volunteers who worked to make Open House a success.
