Country Club Retirement Center at Bellaire sits in a spot that's pretty close to local shops, restaurants, and Bellaire Hospital, so you can get to Save Rite Pharmacy in two miles, and McDonald's is just about down the road at two miles too, with Panera Bread a bit further at 5.6 miles; now the hospital's only 2.2 miles away if there's ever an emergency, and Dr. Raymond A Bannan's office is about two miles out as well, so folks get help fairly quick when it's needed. The place is owned by a Limited Liability Company and operates for profit, but what you notice when you walk in is they've packed a lot under one roof, being a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) with everything from independent living and assisted living to memory care and a nursing home set-up, plus skilled nursing and a rehab campus called Country Club Rehabilitation Campus right on site. They offer quite a mix of daily and scheduled activities-from music and movie nights to regular outings and fitness programs-while residents can also run their own clubs or take part in community-sponsored events if they want, and you've got musical programs happening as a mainstay, plus lectures and seminars about health, which some folks appreciate for staying involved.
You'll find the facility has a full list of services, including bathing, dressing, transfers, and other daily help, with medication management and reminders, and there's always some level of nursing, with about 12-16 hours of licensed care, part-time nurses, 24/7 staff on call, and supervision all the time, so care doesn't fall through the cracks, then the rehabilitation services are run by therapy teams who put together specific plans for each person to help them get stronger and back on their feet, with rehab and therapy going on seven days a week in their large, updated therapy gym. The center's got private rehabilitation suites for more privacy and assisted living suites if someone needs more help, then for those wanting to live more independently there are one- and two-bedroom apartments; each apartment comes service-enhanced, aiming for safety and maintenance-free living. On the amenities side, there's plenty-like a library, a game room, a business room, a barber and beauty shop, fitness room, walking paths, a garden, spa and wellness areas with massage and hydrotherapy, and even an ice cream parlor, plus three places to eat with made-to-order meals and a private dining room for special events. Wi-Fi is available in computer areas, and there are lounges with plenty of furniture in the corridors for visiting or relaxing; outside there's a two-story atrium with plants and a waterfall for anyone who wants to sit by something calming.
Religious activities happen on-site if that's important, and the staff takes care of housekeeping, laundry, linen, transportation-including shopping runs and field trips-plus personal care and hygiene, and there's community-operated transportation as well if someone needs a ride. Country Club Retirement Center at Bellaire offers respite care, so families can get a break now and then and still know their loved one is well looked after. There are health services with wound-certified nurses, on-call health club and wellness treatments, even weight management and personal fitness support. They don't accept cats or small dogs, so pets aren't part of the mix, but a gardener's touch and outside spaces do help people who miss being around nature. Safety is important, so there's a 24-hour call system in every unit, and the staff takes case management seriously, making sure to track medication and overall well-being all around the clock. Apartments have kitchen appliances for those who still want to cook a little bit, and the place is approved by the Ohio Department of Aging for basic services and memory care through the assisted living program too. So, Country Club Retirement Center at Bellaire gives a real variety for different needs and tries to cover most of what folks might look for, bringing together care, comfort, activities, and a few home-style touches under one campus.
