Belair Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

I went to Belair Care Center after a total knee replacement. I couldn't have been happier with my stay there! The staff is friendly and helpful. The place is very clean and gives you a warm feeling. They have a little restaurant you can go to for lunch (that has a beautiful outside patio). I played bingo, did art therapy and even got visited by their therapy dog, Chloe. I give physical therapy an A+!

My mom was there last summer. I felt the rehab/physical therapy was not good at all. While waiting for moms legs to strengthen, they began to swell badly. Noticed by the nurse practitioner and nothing was being done until I harped on him to do something. And even with that, she didn't get much better. She was supposed to fast before testing, when Ingot there, she had eaten. I needed oxygen to take her out, after asking and filling out all the appropriate forms, the tanks were not available until I raised my voice. After this happened a few times, I was able to work it out with the head nurse. After her Dr. (primary Dr.) Changed her meds, it was a few days before I realized she wasn't getting the proper dosage, we found the envelope unopened sitting on a file cabinet with the new prescription. The aids were great for the most part. But the head Dr. And nurse practitioner were NOT! The food was okay sometimes. You can order what you want, don't count on getting it correct more than 3 times in a week. The place was clean and the activities the girls run (games and events) were good. But, left face it, you are there to get better not to play games. Her hearing aids were taken away at night, and NOT always given back to her until I came at night to see her. I could go on. Bottom line, look around before leaving a loved one here. And my mom had visitors every day! We did not just leave her.

Grandmother had been there a few times. Nursing, physical thrrapists, aides are great and receive high marks. Unfortunately the Directors and Administration ( Rehabilitation, Social Services ) convey bad, condescending attitudes, are not prepared, do not return calls, and really offer no help. Both stays there had the same results - very good care, very poor, unprofessional directors and admin. Could not recommend to others.

give the Belair very poor reviews for a person recovering from a stroke. My Mom suffered a major stroke and we selected the Belair based upon its reputation, its cheery appearance and the friendliness of the staff that we met there. Our experience was that the Belair is understaffed with respect to nursing and overstaffed with respect to administration. They were not equipped to deal with my Mom’s needs, even though their advertisements promote their skill with aphasia and other stroke impacts, even though her symptoms were classic and even though they did a full medical assessment before accepting my Mom as a patient . On two separate occasions my Mom fell and had to go to the hospital for tests. The physical therapists and the speech therapist told us that Mom was making very limited recovery progress and that she would soon plateau. However, we transferred her to a different facility and now her recovery arc is significant. As of last week, she was able to walk 40 feet with a walker, which is an amazing improvement. My family feels that it is important, particularly given the seemingly stellar reputation of the Belair, to let other families know about our experience. The Belair is not a good choice for stroke victims.

The Best! I've had more than my share of hospitals and recovery, and Belair is exceptional. The patient is provided with loving care 24/7. The physical therapy is compassionate and aware of the pain of their patients. They work well even with those who flat out refuse to do the exercise that will relieve their pain and make them whole. This is my second stay at Belair so you can give them ten stars from me. ( highly recommend them.

The people at Belair Nursing and Rehabilitation were very friendly, informative and cheerful. The place was very clean. It was just remodeled and new-looking. They seem to have all the necessary rehabilitation facilities for people that are just learning to walk again. They have big eating areas where they would walk them in, like a dining room. They actually have a library there. I liked the bedrooms, they were large. They can improve on the rehab room because it seemed like the physical therapist had a lot of people there at the same time. They seemed very busy. I'd recommend this facility to others.
