Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
Most new residents arrive under Medicare (50% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 1 - 2 months.
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.
The Heritage Rehabilitation and Health Care Center is legally operated by Palm Tree Care Center, LLC (For Profit).
In New York, the Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care performs unannounced onsite inspections to monitor compliance with state and federal healthcare regulations.
