About Baker-Katz Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation Ctr

Baker-Katz Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation Ctr is a Medicare- and Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facility in Haverhill, Massachusetts, operating under CMS Certification Number (CCN) 225743. 77-bed facility. For Profit - Limited Liability Company. Independent (not part of a multi-facility chain). The facility is required to comply with the Requirements for Long-Term Care Facilities at 42 CFR Part 483.

Baker-Katz Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation Ctr has held its Medicare/Medicaid certification for approximately 27 years (certification date on file: 1998-09-01). Long-tenured facilities (15+ years) often have established F-tag remediation playbooks and a deeper standard-survey trail; newly-certified facilities (under 3 years) are subject to a different initial survey cadence under 42 CFR 488.308.

Local market context (Essex County): Baker-Katz Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation Ctr operates in Essex County alongside 28 other Medicare-certified SNFs in our Massachusetts cohort sample. Multi-facility counties create direct cohort comparison pressure — hospital discharge planners typically run side-by-side Care Compare lookups before placement decisions.

CMS Five-Star Quality Ratings

CMS publishes Five-Star ratings for nursing homes monthly, drawn from the most recent three years of standard surveys, complaint surveys, and Minimum Data Set (MDS) submissions.

Long-Stay vs Short-Stay Quality Measures

Long-Stay Quality Measure rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1 of 5). Long-stay measures cover residents in the facility 100+ days and include indicators like residents experiencing one or more falls with major injury, residents whose ability to move independently worsened, and residents with a urinary tract infection.

Short-Stay Quality Measure rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1 of 5). Short-stay measures cover post-acute residents discharged within 100 days and include rehospitalization within 30 days, successful return to community, and improvement in function.

Differentiating long-stay from short-stay QMs matters for placement decisions — a facility with strong short-stay QMs may still underperform on long-stay metrics, and vice versa.

Compliance Red Flags

Baker-Katz Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation Ctr has none of the four CMS-published red-flag indicators active at the most recent publish: not on the Special Focus Facility list, no Abuse Icon on Care Compare, no overdue inspection flag, and no recent change-of-ownership flag. Absence of these flags does not mean the facility is deficiency-free — see the survey history below.

Survey History and Deficiencies

Recent health deficiencies cited at last standard survey: 4. National average for facilities of this size is approximately 8 deficiencies per cycle. Baker-Katz Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation Ctr has no CMS fines in its most recent reporting cycle. Last documented standard health survey: 2025-05-21. CMS conducts standard surveys at most every 15 months for SNFs, with substandard-quality findings triggering more frequent revisits.

Infection Control and Deficiency Weighting

CMS health survey weighted score: 16. The weighted score multiplies deficiency severity (A-L) by scope (isolated, pattern, widespread); higher weighted scores translate directly into the Health Inspection star rating tier breakpoints CMS publishes monthly.

Staffing Detail

At today's staffing levels, Baker-Katz Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation Ctr would not meet the cadre-specific minimums scheduled to take effect on the May 2027 timeline under 89 FR 40876: RN HPRD is 0.323 vs the 0.55 floor, a 0.23-hour gap and nurse-aide HPRD is 2.306 vs the 2.45 floor, a 0.14-hour gap. Closing this gap typically requires either net new hires at the specific cadre, shifted scheduling that reallocates existing FTEs to direct-care hours, or a hardship exemption application under 42 CFR 483.35.

Total nurse staffing: 3.459 hours per resident day (HPRD), which is 0.02 hours below the 3.48 total HPRD floor scheduled to take effect for non-rural facilities by May 2027 (89 FR 40876, May 2024); facilities projected to remain below the floor at the effective date must either close the gap, qualify for a hardship exemption, or face citation under 42 CFR 483.35.

Staffing mix: RN 0.323 HPRD, LPN 0.831 HPRD, CNA 2.306 HPRD. The same CMS final rule also phases in cadre-specific minimums of 0.55 RN HPRD and 2.45 nurse aide HPRD on the 2027 timeline; RN-specific shortfalls have historically been the most common single-facility staffing deficiency at standard surveys.

Weekend RN staffing: 0.328 HPRD. Weekend RN coverage is a separately reported CMS measure; facilities with low weekend RN HPRD frequently see resident-acuity-driven adverse events spike on the weekend shift.

Total nurse staff turnover: 62.8% annualized — extremely high (above the 60% red-flag threshold tracked by CMS).

RN-specific turnover: 50% annualized. RN turnover above 50% is the single strongest correlate with QM rating decline in CMS's own internal analyses.

Administrator turnover events in the most recent reporting window: 2. Multiple administrator changes in a 12-month window is associated with substantial leadership-discontinuity risk during the next standard survey.

Chain Context and Facility Type

Baker-Katz Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation Ctr is independently operated (not part of a multi-facility chain). Independent SNFs typically rely on internal compliance staff or contracted consultants rather than corporate-level survey-prep teams; this affects both how quickly Plans of Correction are produced and how F-tag remediation is documented across multiple shifts.

Provider type designation: Medicare And Medicaid.

The facility is classified by CMS as urban (within a metropolitan statistical area). Urban SNFs typically face higher acuity post-acute admissions, more competitive labor markets, and stricter local-jurisdiction infection control requirements layered on top of federal CoPs.

How Baker-Katz Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation Ctr Compares to Peers in Massachusetts
