01What it does

What Norwegian Lutheran Bethesda Home Association does

Mission

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. Bethesda retirement home's nursing home building was sold in july of 2023. Therefore, caring for the elderly by Norwegian Lutheran Bethesda Home Association transitioned to the new owners. Currently the organization is winding down remaining items before closing operations.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
