CATON PARK REHAB AND NURSING CENTER, L L C
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Caton Park Rehab and Nursing Center in Brooklyn has a Trust Grade of B+, which indicates it is above average and recommended for families considering care options. The facility ranks #146 out of 594 nursing homes in New York, placing it in the top half, and #13 out of 40 in Kings County, meaning there are only a few local facilities that perform better. However, the trend is concerning as the number of issues reported has worsened, increasing from 1 in 2023 to 4 in 2024. Staffing is a weakness here with a 2 out of 5-star rating and a turnover rate of 20%, which is below the state average, indicating some stability but room for improvement. On a positive note, the facility has no fines on record, suggesting compliance with regulations, and it offers average RN coverage, which is important for catching potential problems. Specific incidents noted by inspectors included a failure to timely transmit assessments for several residents and a lack of proper fall prevention measures for others, highlighting areas where care could be improved. Overall, while there are some strengths, families should be aware of the recent increase in issues and the need for better staffing and care plan management.
