Beds are empty and staffers being cut at the city’s nursing homes, where thousands have died of the coronavirus.

At the Hebrew Home in Riverdale, where more than 100 residents died during the height of the pandemic, there are not enough residents to fill the rooms and 56 workers have been laid off, insiders told The Post.

“Several units have been closed because so many residents passed away during the height of COVID,” said an insider at the 751-bed, 1,200-employee home, the largest non-profit facility in the state.

A spokeswoman blamed the decline in patients on a drop in elective surgeries, resulting in fewer people coming from hospitals to the home to recover.

With empty beds, short-term rehab patients “are cared for in private rooms, and receive services and meals in expanded common areas which permit social distancing,” said spokeswoman Wendy Steinberg.

A total of 124 people died of all causes at the home from March 1 through May 8, according to a state Department of Health document obtained by the Post. The DOH investigated the Hebrew Home after The Post reported it was under-counting virus-related deaths.

The official state toll of COVID-19 deaths at the home through Nov. 5 is 52, which does not include those who died at a hospital.

The Isabella Center in Manhattan, where the official COVID-19 death toll is 68, and the Menorah Center in Brooklyn, where 62 died, have seen a drop in new patients, said a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Jewish Health system, which runs both facilities.

Audrey Waters also blamed the decline in elective surgeries. She said layoffs have been avoided so far.

Clove Lakes Health Care and Rehabilitation Center on Staten Island recently laid off more than 40 employees, according to a New York Times report. Forty people died at the home of COVID-19.

At least 6,700 residents of New York nursing homes and adult care facilities have died of the coronavirus, according to the DOH.

Gov. Cuomo’s administration has come under fire for a March mandate, since rescinded, that nursing homes take in medically-stable coronavirus patients.

Richard Mollot, the executive director of the Long Term Care Community Coalition, an advocacy group, said people are afraid to go to the facilities now or send a relative.

“I would be particularly reluctant, even more so than normally, to go to a nursing home,” Mollot said.
