Brooklyn United Methodist Church Home demonstrates a data profile characterized by the lowest possible federal quality ratings, significant safety citations regarding resident abuse, and a high reliance on temporary contract staff.
Analysis of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services data indicates a profile with significant challenges in care consistency and safety. The facility holds the lowest possible overall rating of one out of five stars, largely driven by a one-star rating in quality measures and a two-star rating in health inspections. While the facility maintains a three-star staffing rating, deeper data reveals critical gaps. Total nursing care hours have decreased by 16% over the last two years, falling to 3.09 hours per resident per day, which is below the New York state average of 3.65 hours. Furthermore, nursing care drops by approximately 14% on weekends compared to weekday averages, indicating a reduction in available staff during those periods.
Records show a high reliance on contract agency staffing, which accounts for 27% of all nursing hours and 40% of registered nurse hours. High agency use often correlates with less continuity of care for residents. The inspection history is notable for 37 uncorrected findings across the most recent cycles, including a citation for failing to protect residents from abuse and neglect. Historically, the facility has faced financial penalties, including a $10,039 fine in March 2024. Although nursing staff turnover of 36.8% is slightly better than the state average of 40.5%, the combination of low quality-of-care scores and significant safety findings presents a data profile well below state benchmarks.
Public records from January 2025 documented a failure to protect residents from abuse and neglect, along with failures in reporting suspected abuse to proper authorities.
Recent inspections identified 37 uncorrected findings, including one immediate jeopardy citation (Severity J) and fire safety issues regarding stairway enclosures and fire-resistant walls.
Reliance on outside agency staff is significant, with contract workers providing 40% of all registered nurse hours and 27% of total nursing care.
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.
