Staff typeHours / dayvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans.

They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 40m per day ▼ 7% State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.

Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on March 13, 2025, found no deficiencies and confirmed Brookefield Park meets statutory requirements for licensure renewal as a skilled nursing facility. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies mainly related to resident care documentation, infection control, food safety, and life safety code issues such as fire safety equipment and exit signage. Complaint investigations were generally unsubstantiated, with one substantiated case in 2016 where the facility failed to protect a resident from injury but took immediate corrective actions without formal citations. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows improvement over time, with recent renewal inspections consistently free of deficiencies.
