Buena Vida Rehab and Nursing Center is a 240-bed facility in Brooklyn that currently holds the highest federal health inspection rating and reports staff turnover rates significantly below the New York state average.
The data indicates that Buena Vida Rehab and Nursing Center has shown significant upward trends in its regulatory performance over the last 24 months. Public records reflect an improvement in the overall quality rating from a 2 to a 5. During the most recent 2024 health inspection, the facility recorded zero health inspection findings, which is lower than the New York state average of 7.7. However, fire safety records from the same period show 15 uncorrected findings, including issues related to smoke barrier doors and electrical grounding.
Staffing data shows that residents receive 3.47 hours of total nursing care per resident per day. This include 0.92 hours from registered nurses, which is higher than the state average of 0.70 hours. The facility demonstrates stability in leadership with zero administrator departures and maintains a nursing turnover rate of 25.2%, notably lower than the state average of 40.5%. Contract staff usage remains low at 3.8% of total nursing hours, suggesting that the majority of care is provided by permanent employees. While weekday staffing is consistently higher, the drop in nursing hours on weekends is less than 10%, which is relatively stable compared to many peer facilities. Records show no financial penalties or fines issued by federal regulators in the most recent reporting period.
The facility reported zero health inspection findings in the February 2024 survey, an improvement from six findings in the 2021 cycle.
Total nursing staff turnover is 25.2%, which is lower than the New York state average of 40.5%, indicating higher staff retention.
Weekend nursing care drops to 3.18 hours per resident per day, an 8% decrease from the weekday average of 3.47 hours.
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.
