Sephardic Home for the Aged[1][2] (also known as Sephardic Home for Nursing and Rehabilitation and Sephardic Nursing and Rehabilitation Center[3])[4] was a long-term nursing home and short-term medical rehabilitation facility. Its Brooklyn location now houses King David Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation,[5] and, like the prior operators, services both Ashkenazic and Sephardic patients and residents.[6]

History

Sephardic opened in 1951,[7][8] with their initial focus on those elderly whose primary language and food preferences reflected that of the Sephardic community.[9][10]

Decades later they renamed, under different management, to King David.[11] The facility continued operating during the Coronavirus period.[12][5]
