On May 29, 1895 a group of men from the Reformed and Christian Reformed Churches was given the responsibility of drafting the By-laws and Constitution of a soon to be established home that would provide long term care for aging members of the community. The Holland Christian Home Association of Paterson, NJ was formally incorporated on August 14, 1895.

Between the date of incorporation and the end of 1898, a two story building was constructed on Iowa Ave in Paterson. The building was expanded twice – once in 1904 when several rooms and a meeting hall were added and in 1922 when additional residential rooms were added.

In the mid-1950’s it was known that the construction of Interstate Highway 80 would traverse the Iowa Ave site, necessitating a move to a new location. Seven and a half acres of land were found in North Haledon. On October 15, 1960 a building was dedicated at the new site. The infirmary was added in 1965 and between 1968 and 1969 a major expansion was completed, which included resident rooms and the chapel. The administration wing was added in 1972.
