Overview of The Heritage Rehabilitation and Health Care Center

Located at 5606 15th Avenue in Borough Park, The Heritage Rehabilitation and Health Care Center operates 79 beds under the management of Palm Tree Care Center, serving residents throughout Kings County. The facility specializes in orthopedic, cardiac, and neurorehabilitation services, along with cognitive therapy, drawing a patient population oriented toward short-term post-acute Medicare rehabilitation and longer private-pay stays. Occupancy stands at 92%, pointing to solid local demand.

Two inspections conducted since 2021 resulted in eight citations overall, a markedly better outcome than the typical New York nursing home’s record. Health deficiencies numbered just four, and a serious finding from November 2021 involving improper use of physical restraints was promptly corrected. The facility’s inspection in May 2025 identified five deficiencies spanning care planning, electrical infrastructure, and fire safety codes, all of which were remedied by June. No federal penalties have been assessed in the past three years.

Direct nursing care operates at 3 hours 3 minutes per resident daily, lagging the New York state benchmark by about 13 percent. Licensed practical nurse staffing presents a notable shortfall, though the facility compensates partly through registered nurse coverage on weekends that exceeds state averages by 11 percent. Round-the-clock staffing is maintained, along with respite care and comprehensive rehabilitation services.

The facility’s food service reflects Orthodox certification standards, featuring Glatt Kosher cuisine. Other offerings include a gym outfitted for rehabilitation work, a library for resident use, and daily religious services with regular engagement from neighboring educational institutions. The neighborhood itself scores highly for walkability, with a rating of 84, making local amenities readily accessible.

The Heritage’s care model aligns with short-term rehabilitation patients and residents seeking private-pay skilled nursing over months-long stays in Brooklyn.

6 of 6 metrics below 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.	36m per day	▼ 15% 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.	29m per day	▼ 37% 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 5m per day	▼ 4% State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 21m 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 51m per day	▼ 10% 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.	6m per day	▼ 10% 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	▼ 12% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 29m per day
