The Beth Abraham Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing at 612 Allerton Ave.in Bronx.

At midnight on March 15, for-profit nursing home chain Centers Health Care took over management at Beth Abraham Health Services, a 90-year-old nursing home in the Bronx, and renamed it Beth Abraham Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing.

By 10 a.m., Centers Health Care—which acquired the 520-bed facility from nonprofit CenterLight Health System—notified 1199 SEIU that it planned to lay off 121 employees in nursing, housekeeping and food services.

"We had a conversation letting them know they couldn't do that, and they've lifted that off the table," said Alfonso Lacroix, 1199's organizer at Beth Abraham. "That's not to say they won't try to do that again in the next couple of weeks."
