The layoffs include nurses, physical therapists and doctors at the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills.
Nursing home residents were subjected to overly hot conditions in the days after Hurricane Irma when a tree fell on a transformer powering the air conditioning system. Twelve patients died when they were not evacuated after the storm passed.
State officials later suspended their license and the facility closed permanently.
