CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.

The Baptist Home at Brookmeade is a 120-bed nonprofit nursing home in scenic Dutchess County operated by the Baptist Home of Brooklyn. The community handles both long-term chronic care and sub-acute rehabilitation, accommodating Medicare, Medicaid, and private-pay clients who average a 208-day length of stay. On-site community amenities include a library, a café, a gift shop, and scheduled exercise classes. Operating since the mid-20th century, the facility functions with a historical focus on long-term care management and religious mission alignment.
Records from state health departments reflect an interesting contrast between leaner staffing models and top-tier long-term health outcomes. Daily direct care times average 2 hours and 51 minutes per resident, tracking 18% below the New York state baseline across all primary nursing categories. Despite this thin staffing framework, clinical quality files reveal that permanent residents achieve functional preservation scores 87% better than the state average and experience 54% fewer high-risk clinical events. On the short-term rehab side, 68.7% of recovery clients successfully discharge with improved self-care independence.
The facility carries zero history of federal financial fines or enforcement penalties over the last three years, logging 14 total citations over a seven-year span. Its most recent standard inspection in March 2024 flagged six moderate deficiencies involving door maintenance, exit safety, resident accommodations, and care planning, all of which the operator corrected within a month.
Families researching regional long-term skilled nursing options or sub-acute recovery placements can check over these state tracking files to gauge the provider’s overall operations. Since the public data reports remarkable long-term physical stability and strong self-care discharge numbers alongside lower daily nursing hours and standard physical plant corrections, the documentation shows a historically stable care environment with excellent clinical tracking.
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.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

This home is ranked 285th out of 387 homes in New York for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| 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.
| 29m per day | ▼ 32% 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.
| 41m per day | ▼ 10% 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.
| 1h 41m per day | ▼ 23% 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.
| 2h 38m per day | ▼ 17% 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.
| 5m per day | ▼ 36% 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.
| 18m per day | ▼ 34% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
