Belleair Health Care Center

Belleair Health Care Center sits in Clearwater, Florida and is a Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing facility with 120 beds and an average of 112 residents a day, and it meets federal standards for skilled nursing care while providing everything from help with bathing, dressing, eating, or medications to constant, 24-hour nursing care supervised by a physician, so those who can't safely live at home find long-term support here. Now, they have a mix of private and semi-private rooms, with furnished units and safety features like an emergency call system, and the place runs with modern, up-to-date equipment and a sprinkler system for safety, plus housekeeping and laundry rooms, so it's pretty practical for folks needing extra support. Transportation services are available to residents, and they have wheelchair accessible features throughout, which makes getting around much easier for those with limited mobility. Residents get their meals in a dining area with restaurant-style service, and for those who like to join activities, there are things like social events, games, arts and crafts, education, and health programs, and the community provides a card/game room, a fitness center, movie theater, salon, café bistro, peaceful spaces to relax, and guest parking. Everyone gets access to cable TV, Wi-Fi, and personal care from aides for dressing, grooming, toileting, and bathing, and there's always help available for medications and wound care, and they bring in medical professionals like nurses, occupational therapists, podiatrists, and speech therapists to address different medical needs. People needing stroke or cardiac rehabilitation, surgical or wound care, respiratory and infusion therapy, nutrition management, tracheotomy care, plus both inpatient and outpatient therapy, can find services tailored to those needs, and families are encouraged to help plan care together for the best results; those coming for a short rehabilitation stay or those needing longer term care get a plan that fits their situation. The center runs as a for-profit partnership, managed by Clear Choice Healthcare LLC and Sbk Capital, and they make a point of respecting resident rights, including supporting residents' voices and group participation, although there have been some inspection deficiencies, including one infection-related violation, and past fines involved resident rights. On average, nurse staffing per resident per day is 3.66 hours, which is below the state's average, and nurse turnover rate is higher than most at nearly 58%, so staffing stability is something families may want to ask about. The care center keeps a confidential reporting line for any issues and stays certified by organizations like JCAHO while holding the Governor's Gold Seal and a 5-Star rating from CMS, and they use ongoing oversight to meet quality and safety standards, with recent inspections on record. Belleair Health Care Center supports a philosophy of personalized, family-involved, compassionate care that aims to restore residents' quality of life, and the property tries to create an environment that feels comfortable and home-like, with elegant dining and well-kept spaces for people to enjoy during recovery or long-term stays.
