Another protest is being planned next week in front of the soon-to-be shuttered Bialystoker nursing home. Employees and residents staged a rally August 3rd, vowing to keep the pressure on the nursing home’s board and community leaders to save the 80-year old facility. A flyer went up recently outside 232 East Broadway, the neighboring office building now owned by Board Chairman Ira Meister.
It says a rally will be held August 23rd, next Tuesday, at 2 p.m. The plan is to gather at 228 East Broadway, outside the Bialystoker building, and to march down to the State Attorney General’s office at 120 Broadway. At the first rally, protesters held up signs demanding the AG investigate Meister, who owns a real estate company called Matthew Adam Properties. As we have reported, the Bialystoker board has put the home on the market, listing it with Grubb & Ellis as a residential development site.
