SEAGATE REHABILITATION AND NURSING CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Seagate Rehabilitation and Nursing Center has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating it is slightly above average but not without its issues. It ranks #226 out of 594 facilities in New York, placing it in the top half, but at #23 out of 40 in Kings County, it suggests limited local options. The facility is on an improving trend, reducing its issues from three in 2022 to two in 2024. Staffing is a significant concern, earning a poor 1-star rating, although it has a good turnover rate of 28%, which is better than the state average. The center has incurred $119,212 in fines, which is higher than 88% of New York facilities, reflecting possible compliance problems. Additionally, there is less RN coverage than 86% of state facilities, which may hinder the quality of care. Specific incidents include a lack of adequate nursing staff on weekends and a failure to invite residents to participate in their care planning meetings, highlighting areas where the facility could improve. While it has strengths in health inspection and quality measures, these weaknesses warrant careful consideration for families.

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
