Brooklyn-Queens Nursing Home is a one-star facility characterized by exceptionally high nursing turnover, over $200,000 in federal fines, and a history of government payment denials.
Brooklyn-Queens Nursing Home carries a one-out-of-five star overall rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The data reflects significant staffing instability, characterized by a nursing staff turnover rate of 55.1% and a registered nurse turnover rate of 58.3%. These figures are substantially higher than the New York state average of 40.5%, indicating that a majority of the clinical staff fluctuates within a single year. While the facility maintains a stable leadership history with zero administrator departures, the overall staffing rating remains at the lowest possible level.
Inspection records show a history of high-severity findings and significant financial penalties. In the 2023 cycle, the facility received 15 health inspection findings, including 11 related to complaints. Although the total number of findings decreased to 4 in the September 2024 cycle, the facility was recently assessed a federal fine of $141,232 and a 13-day payment denial. Fire safety is also a documented area of concern, with 17 uncorrected findings as of the last report, including issues with construction materials and vertical opening enclosures. Quality measures for long-stay residents show a higher rating than short-stay measures, though the overall data profile suggests a reliance on federal oversight and substantial civil penalties to address recurring operational issues.
The facility has been issued $226,944 in federal fines and three payment denials from the government in the last three years, exceeding the New York state fine average of $22,991.
Total nursing staff turnover is 55.1%, which is higher than the state average of 40.5% and indicates that more than half of the nursing staff left within a twelve-month period.
Recent inspection records from September 2024 identify failures to report suspected abuse or theft to authorities and failures to involve residents in their own care planning.
This shows how the facility's federal ratings have changed over the past 24 months. Consistent high ratings suggest stable quality, while declining trends may warrant further investigation.

Staffing depth is the strongest predictor of care quality. Facilities routinely cut staff on evenings and weekends — the shifts when falls happen and call lights go unanswered.
