Belleair Health Care Center

Belleair Health Care Center holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, which places it above average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, so it helps to look at each piece individually to get a clearer picture. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found relatively few problems, and any issues cited were on the less serious end of the scale - a good sign that the facility is being run safely and is holding up well under outside scrutiny. The quality measures rating sits at 3 stars, which is right at the national average across 15 clinical indicators like wound care, fall rates, and resident mobility. Nothing alarming there, but also room for improvement. The one area worth paying close attention to is staffing, which rated 2 stars, putting it below average for nurse hours per resident. This means residents may have fewer hands-on hours with nurses and aides each day compared to many other facilities. For families, that can translate to longer wait times for assistance, less one-on-one attention, or heavier workloads for the staff who are there. The strong health inspection score keeps the overall rating elevated, but if your loved one has significant care needs, it is worth asking the facility directly about their staffing levels and how they handle peak hours or nights and weekends.
