The Hebrew Home in Riverdale
The Hebrew Home in Riverdale, which recorded the deaths of 86 residents from the Corona, and the New Jewish Home in Manhattan, with 76 Corona-related deaths, are among six nursing facilities in NY City that were designated âCOVID onlyâ facilities.
Last Wednesday, New York Health Commissioner Howard Zucker sent a letter to state lawmakers disclosing that NYS had quietly established 19 nursing homes as âCOVID-only,â where seniors recovering from the virus would be cared for. Zucker revealed the state had set up the facilities in November âto allow the transfer of medically stable, but persistently positive COVID-19 nursing home eligible patientsâ after they had left the hospital.
