Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Belleview Care Center has significant concerns with families filing multiple complaint reports triggering inspections, particularly around resident protection from abuse and neglect which appears repeatedly across recent surveys. The facility shows persistent issues with fire safety systems, resident rights violations, and medication management, with problems recurring even after reported corrections. While most deficiencies are marked as corrected, the pattern of repeated violations in critical care areas suggests ongoing challenges families should investigate thoroughly before considering placement.
