Staffing Rating
Belair Care Center Inc. earns an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That overall rating is a composite built from three separate categories, so it helps to look at each one individually to understand what it actually tells you. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious issues here than at most nursing homes in Florida. It is not a perfect score, but above average is a genuinely good result since very few facilities sail through inspections without any citations. The staffing rating is also 4 stars, which tells you that nurses are spending more time with residents than the national average relative to how many people live there. More staff time generally means faster responses, more attentive care, and less risk of small problems going unnoticed. Where Belair really stands out is in quality measures, where it earns a perfect 5 stars. That score is based on 15 clinical outcomes like fall rates, pressure ulcer rates, and how well residents maintain their ability to move and function. A top score there suggests the care residents receive is translating into real, measurable results for their health and wellbeing. Taken together, these numbers paint a picture of a facility that is performing well across the board, with especially strong outcomes for the people living there.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and how does that number change at night and on weekends? 2. How long have your nursing staff been working here, and what is your turnover rate over the past year? 3. What happens when a resident has a complaint or says they feel unsafe - who do they talk to, and how do you make sure it actually gets resolved? 4. Can you walk me through what a typical weekday looks like for a resident who needs help with bathing, meals, and getting around? 5. How do you handle a situation where a resident's condition changes suddenly overnight - who makes the call, and how quickly does a family member get notified? 6. Has this facility had any state citations or deficiencies in the last two years, and if so, what specifically did you do to fix the problem?

About CMS Star Ratings

CMS assigns 1–5 star ratings to Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing homes based on three domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The overall rating is a weighted composite.

A 5-star overall rating does not guarantee excellence in every domain — inspect each sub-rating independently. Data is updated quarterly.
