All 40 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Brooklyn,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
The Phoenix is a 400-bed for-profit home in Brooklyn where the numbers pull in two directions. Its inspection record is genuinely clean, 8 deficiencies, none of them causing harm or involving abuse, and a survey as recent as September 2024. Quality measures also score at the top of CMS's scale. Where it slips is staffing: 2.85 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, with weekends about 8% thinner than weekdays. That's the tradeoff to weigh. Turnover at 27% is actually well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. Ask how the floor actually feels on a Sunday.
Four Seasons runs 270 beds in Brooklyn under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. What stands out in the other direction is retention: 25.3% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. That stability is earning real marks on quality measures, even as the staffing ratio and 16 outstanding deficiencies, three tied to abuse, none at harm level, pull the other way. The last inspection was March 2026, so the record is recent.
The Atrium Center has 380 beds and gives residents about 2.94 nursing hours a day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 9% thinner than weekdays. That staffing shortfall is the main soft spot, and it's why the federal staffing rating sits at 2 out of 5. What's genuinely unusual is turnover: 15.4% against a national average near 46%, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay, which matters for consistency of care. Inspections in March 2025 turned up 16 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one was abuse-related. The quality measures rate 5 out of 5, so day-to-day clinical outcomes look strong even if coverage is lean.
Hopkins Center is a 288-bed for-profit home in Brooklyn where the inspection record is genuinely strong, 14 deficiencies on file, none of them harm-level or abuse-related, and a clean five-star inspection rating from CMS as of April 2024. The staffing story is the opposite: 3.24 nurse hours per resident day sits about 16% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 8% thinner than weekdays, which matters most when families visit and needs pile up. Turnover at 26% is well below the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Fewer hands, but steadier ones, that's the tradeoff worth weighing.
Boro Park Center is a 510-bed for-profit home in Brooklyn, and its inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, one of them abuse-related, with none rising to actual harm or jeopardy. The last state visit was in May 2024. Nurse staffing sits at 3.65 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family mostly visits on Saturdays. The genuinely strong number here is turnover: 20% against a national average near 46%, meaning the people caring for your relative are more likely to still be there next year.
The Monarch at Brooklyn Rehab and Nursing Center runs 200 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing is the number to sit with: 2.84 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter below. Weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday levels, and turnover sits at 44.1%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, so continuity isn't the main worry here. What stands out instead is the split between inspection results and staffing: a 4/5 health inspection rating with 22 deficiencies on record and none at harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation, and a 2/5 staffing rating despite strong quality measure scores.
Sheepshead runs leaner than the typical U.S. nursing home on nursing hours, 3.69 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday staffing, which is worth asking about if most of your visits would fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The good news sits in the turnover number: 25.1% is well under the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses around your family member are more likely to still be there next year. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, none at the harm level, one tied to abuse, and the last inspection was April 2024.
Menorah Home & Hospital is a 436-bed nonprofit in Brooklyn, and its numbers pull in two directions. On paper, the quality measures look strong, but that sits next to staffing and health inspection ratings at the bottom of the scale, which is an unusual split worth asking about directly. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and three tied to abuse. That combination, thin staffing alongside harm-level findings, is the part that matters more than the quality scores. The last inspection was October 2024, so the record is recent. One fine totaling $8,018 rounds out the picture. Worth visiting unannounced and asking how they've addressed the abuse-related findings.
Brooklyn Gardens runs 240 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.30 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86, which is why CMS gives it only 2 of 5 stars on staffing. Weekends are thinner still, about 11 percent below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover is the counterweight: 28.2 percent against a national 45.8, so the crew that is there tends to stay. Inspections in May 2025 turned up 21 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. Quality measures score 4 of 5; the inspection record holds at 3.
Spring Creek runs about 3.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 9% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 38.5%, which is better than the 45.8% national figure, staff tend to stay. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was February 2025. Quality measures score well, but the staffing numbers explain why this for-profit Limited Liability company home lands where it does.
Bushwick Center runs 225 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, about 14% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 30.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Inspections in June 2025 produced 24 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two were abuse-related. The health inspection rating came in at 3 out of 5, quality measures at 4, staffing at 2.
The Heritage in Brooklyn runs a 79-bed for-profit operation, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating with a survey done as recently as May 2025. But the staffing numbers tell a different story: 3.23 nurse hours per resident per day sits about 16% under the national average, weekends dip roughly another 10% below its own weekdays, and CMS gives it just two stars for staffing. Turnover at 34.8% is better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stick. The record shows 14 deficiencies, including one at harm level and two tied to abuse, which is what separates a solid inspection from a clean one.
Downtown Brooklyn Nursing & Rehabilitation Center runs 320 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.23 hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 37.2%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The inspection record is the harder read: 18 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in April 2025. Quality measures score well, but quality scores come from resident data, not from how the building is run day to day.
Brooklyn Center For Rehabilitation And Residential is a 281-bed for-profit home in Kings County, and the numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 14% thinner than weekdays, a gap families should ask about directly. Turnover is genuinely low at 26.3% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for your relative are more likely to still be there next year. But the inspection record carries 29 deficiencies, including one at harm level and four tied to abuse, with a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5. The most recent inspection was December 2025, and fines total $9,110.
Caton Park runs lean on nursing hours, 2.71 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a third less hands-on care than the typical home. Weekends dip even further, about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so a Saturday afternoon is when your family member is most likely to wait. What partly offsets that is stability: turnover sits at 18.7%, well under the national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Inspections look solid, a 4-star health inspection rating, 15 deficiencies with none at harm level, though two abuse-related citations are worth asking about directly. Last inspected August 2024.
Concord runs a nonprofit shop in Brooklyn with 140 beds, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.29 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 9 percent below its own weekday coverage, that's the kind of gap families notice when a Saturday problem comes up. Turnover is 38.2 percent, actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. But the inspection record carries 23 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, and the health inspection rating sits at 2 stars. The quality measures look stronger at 4 stars; the staffing and inspection side is where the concern lives.
Palm Gardens runs 4.34 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, and its 31.5% turnover is notably better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Those are real positives, and weekend coverage only dips about 7% below weekday levels. The catch is quality: CMS gives it 1 out of 5 stars on quality measures, with 16 deficiencies on record, one abuse-related, none at harm or jeopardy level, and a December 2025 inspection. A 240-bed for-profit LLC in Brooklyn carrying that quality score against otherwise decent staffing tells you the care process, not the hours, is where the trouble sits.
Brooklyn United Methodist Church Home runs on thinner nurse coverage than most places, about 3.33 hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends get even leaner, dropping roughly 14% below its own weekday numbers. Inspectors cited 37 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, and the last inspection was in January 2025. Staff turnover sits at 35.2%, which is actually better than the national 45.8%, and this is a nonprofit, not a chain. The quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 is the part worth pressing the administrator on when you visit.
Brooklyn-Queens Nursing Home runs 140 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing sits about 2% under the national average at 3.77 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 50.6% against a 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses your family member sees may change often. Inspections are recent and clean at the harm level: 20 deficiencies on record, none causing harm or jeopardy, though three are abuse-related and one fine totals $141,232. The four-star inspection rating reflects that survey history; staffing and quality measures each land at three stars.
Seagate runs 360 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 2.99 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running roughly 6% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 24.5%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay, but there are fewer of them per resident than average. The inspection record is where the real weight is: 11 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus 20 fines totaling $215,134. The last inspection was October 2024. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections do not.
