Overview of Berkshire Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

At 10 Berkshire Road in West Babylon, Berkshire Nursing and Rehabilitation Center operates a 175-bed facility under for-profit ownership by Susan Aschkenazi through Berkshire Nursing Home, LLC. Continuously Medicare and Medicaid certified since 1970, the facility serves primarily short-term rehabilitation patients (52% Medicare admissions) and private-pay residents (39%) with a median stay of 93 days. Current occupancy reaches 90% (158 of 175 beds). A physician maintains on-site presence.

Overall and health inspection performance both score 5 stars. Quality measures earn 4 stars, above benchmarks. The staffing rating, however, remains at 2 stars.

Daily nursing totals 2 hours 45 minutes per resident; 21% below standard. Registered nurses provide 32 minutes (24% below state); licensed practical nurses, 45 minutes (at state level); certified nursing aides, 2 hours 22 minutes (8% above state). Weekend coverage exceeds state by 7%, yet weekend registered nurse hours fall 11% short.

A workforce of 207 (155 direct employees, 52 contractors) supports current census.

Three inspections since 2020 produced 24 citations (85% above average), reflecting elevated regulatory scrutiny.

October 2024 identified one Level 2 documentation deficiency corrected within three weeks. August 2024 documented six findings including one Level 3 accident hazard citation and multiple pressure ulcer, life safety, and environmental Level 2 issues; all remedied within weeks.

Earlier cycles showed recurring concerns with means of egress, sprinkler maintenance, and construction standards, all addressed by mid-2023.

One enforcement action and $9,000 in fines occurred in August 2024. Complaint filings (43 total, 46% below state) contain zero substantiated allegations.

62.4% of short-stay residents achieve or exceed expected self-care function at discharge, 53.1% return home or community successfully, and major injury falls occur in fewer than 1%. Long-stay quality measures achieve 5-star designation with clinical event scores 37% better than baseline. However, depressive symptoms in long-stay residents reach 47.4%; nearly three times the average of 18.1%.

The facility spans four acres of grounds and gardens with complimentary Wi-Fi, television, phone, laundry, and concierge services. On-site programming includes cardiac rehabilitation, physical and occupational therapy, enteral nutrition specialty, and dementia-focused care. Financial positioning shows minimal profitability ($10.8K net income on $39.8M revenue; profit margin 0.0%) and payroll at 42.4% of revenue, below typical facility efficiency levels of 53 to 65%.

Berkshire delivers robust short-stay rehabilitation discharge outcomes but carries material operational concerns: recurring regulatory findings despite strong inspection ratings, markedly elevated depressive symptom prevalence in long-stay residents, and modest staffing levels paired with modest financial performance.

Families considering extended placement should directly discuss staffing models, depression management protocols, and the enforcement action outcome before commitment.

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +14% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	35m per day	▼ 17% State avg: 42m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	46m per day	■ Avg State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 26m per day	▲ 11% State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	3h 32m per day	▲ 12% State avg: 3h 10m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	8m per day	▲ 14% State avg: 7m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	25m per day	▼ 9% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day
