Bel Pre Healthcare Center

Bel Pre Healthcare Center, also called Bel Pre Health and Rehab Center, sits at 2601 Bel Pre Road in Silver Spring, just under seven miles from Washington, D.C., and offers skilled nursing care, rehabilitation, and long-term care services with 100 certified beds and 83 currently occupied, though it's not accepting new patients now, and you'll find staff that speak English and are available during business hours that run from early morning to evening. The center belongs to CommuniCare Health, managed by Health Care Facility Management, LLC since 2008, with direct ownership through Option Holdings II LLC and Second Option Op Co LLC, and gets regular inspections from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which reported 14 deficiencies in 2019, mostly for infection control and resident care, but the facility has infection control programs and a record of low staff turnover, lower than the state average. Staff provides skilled nursing, short-term rehab, long-term care, memory care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and manages care for conditions like pressure ulcers, urinary tract infections, falls with injury, and medication needs, as well as offering specialized programs such as Honor 360 and Advance 360. Residents have access to social and recreational activities, modern amenities, and outdoor spaces for relaxation, while the center's focus remains on health and wellness with several options for activities and specialized care. The staff works to create customized care plans and uses verified review systems to keep feedback honest, and families can connect with local senior living advisors and use online tools to get help with decision-making, pricing, or community comparisons, though specific pricing stays unpublished. The center's overall health inspection rating uses Medicare's star system, with quality measures showing high rates of vaccination and low rates of falls and infections compared to state averages, but there are higher numbers in residents with depressive symptoms and those losing mobility or needing more help with daily activities. There are no physical restraints used, and the rates of catheter use and urinary infections are lower here than elsewhere in Maryland. While most residents do receive needed care and vaccines, some quality numbers show room for improvement, and the nurse staffing time per resident falls just below state and national averages. Bel Pre works within the CommuniCare Family of Companies, giving access to resources that include assisted living, memory care, and other specialized facilities nearby in Silver Spring, and has any number of services from wound and hospice care to palliative care, and uses advanced specialty hospitals when they're needed. The center's services even reach beyond traditional nursing home amenities, including clinical lab and x-ray services, and you'll find communal spaces that promote both socializing and quiet time, but it's important to note that the center does face certain challenges with residents' emotional and mobility needs.
