Summary

Ditmas Park Care Center provides hours of nursing care per resident per day well above state averages but relies extensively on contract agency staff for over three-quarters of its operations.

Detailed Analysis

Data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services indicates a high frequency of daily nursing attention at this facility. Residents receive an average of 4.73 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is higher than the New York state average of 3.65 hours. This includes 1.25 hours from registered nurses, compared to a state average of 0.70 hours. The facility has demonstrated stability in leadership, with zero administrator departures reported in the recent cycle, and a total nursing staff turnover rate of 23.6%, which is lower than the state average of 40.5%.\n\nHowever, records show a substantial reliance on outside contract workers rather than permanent employees. Specifically, 78.4% of all nursing hours are provided by agency contract staff, including 90.6% of certified nursing assistant hours and 70.2% of registered nurse hours. While nursing hours remain relatively steady on weekends, the high volume of contract labor suggests that residents may interact with rotating staff members. Inspection records show a decrease in findings, from four in 2022 to two in 2024. Fire safety records show 24 uncorrected findings, including issues related to exit sign placement and wall construction.
