Six months after Hurricane Sandy, one Brighton Beach nursing home is finally welcoming back its residents.
After Hurricane Sandy the home was flooded and heavily damaged.
The Shore View Nursing Home, which has served as a rehabilitation home for seniors for 44 years, reopened its facility on Thursday. More than 180 residents had been placed in a variety of care facilities throughout New York City, Westchester and Long Island after the storm.
The home was not only renovated, but also took preventative measures to protect the structure from future storms.
State Senator Martin Golden and other officials were on hand to greet residents as they came back home.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
