Brooklyn-queens Nursing Home operates a 140-bed skilled nursing facility at 2749 Linden Blvd, Brooklyn, Kings County, New York. Established in 1980, the facility is owned by Selma Thomas. The community maintains 100% occupancy (all 140 beds occupied).
Nursing support runs 4 hours 14 minutes per resident daily, representing a 21% improvement over New York state averages and ranking 60th among 388 statewide facilities. On-site physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology services are complemented by social work coordination for discharge planning. An active resident council participates in care discussions.
Private bathrooms, daily exercise programming, arts and crafts, religious services, community outings, and inclusive meals with specialized dietary preparation constitute the main lifestyle amenities.
A troubling pattern emerges from recent inspection data. Multiple complaint-driven investigations between 2022 and 2024 documented recurring deficiencies in resident assessments, care plan accuracy and timeliness, notification of status changes, and reporting of alleged resident violations.
April 2023 brought a Level 4 immediate jeopardy citation for failure to investigate and report alleged violations appropriately; this critical finding was corrected by June 2023. May 2022 documented a substantiated abuse and neglect allegation, also corrected. The most recent inspection on September 10, 2024, identified ten deficiencies (five health-related, five life safety violations). All were corrected by November 2024.
Deficiency rates in the past three years averaged 9 annually, representing 76% above the state average. Building safety citations addressed sprinkler system installation and vertical opening enclosure requirements. Food safety and sanitation violations were identified and remedied. COVID-19 national health safety network reporting failures documented in 2022 persisted in early reports.
Long-stay residents experienced lower rates of falls with major injury (2.2%, 26% better than state average) and depressive symptoms (8.7%, 52% better). Short-stay rehabilitation residents showed weaker outcomes: only 24.4% successfully returned to community or home (52% worse than state average), and 25.9% required re-hospitalization within 30 days of discharge (26% worse). Pneumococcal vaccination completion stood at 24.3% for long-stay residents and 16.1% for short-stay, both significantly below state vaccination standards.
Walk Score of 89 indicates a highly walkable neighborhood.
Brooklyn-Queens is structured for older adults with ongoing skilled nursing needs and complex medical requirements in a long-term care setting.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
