About Nursing Home Care in Brooklyn
Brooklyn, CT offers limited options for nursing home care, and families looking for placements should proceed with caution. The standout is Brooklyn Health Care Center, which, while it has some strengths, still falls short of being a highly recommended facility. Overall, this market can be concerning due to the lack of alternatives and the absence of non-profit options.
In terms of facilities to consider, Brooklyn Health Care Center is the only nursing home in the area. Its notable strength is that it has a clean record with zero fines in the past three years. However, it’s important to recognize that while this facility is adequately staffed, it doesn’t boast any significant accolades, so families may want to explore nearby locations like Fermata Health Care in Putnam, which has a 4-star CMS rating.
There are no facilities in Brooklyn that families need to explicitly avoid, as none have major red flags. However, it’s wise to visit any facility with a critical eye. When touring Brooklyn Health Care Center, ask about staff turnover rates and resident-to-staff ratios to get a clear picture of the care your loved one might receive. This proactive approach can help ensure you make the best decision for your family.
