The Plattduetsche Home Society has been caring for the aged since 1923. We have 80 years experience in Elder Care. It was in 1910 that the idea of building a home for “old folks”, who could no longer live alone, was conceived by Chris Ellmers and Wilhelm Neumann, two delegates of the Plattduetsche Volksfest Verein. The idea was enthusiastically adopted, and a committee appointed to develop plans. At that time, Hempstead Turnpike was only a dusty road with a trolley. The trolley operated on a slightly raised single track and ran between Queens Village and Hempstead.
