    Negligent unsafe care causing death

    I appreciated the nurses, some friendly staff, and the nice rehab room and apartment, but that barely mattered. Communication was poor, staff were slow/unresponsive, therapy and social work were disorganized, and residents were isolated (phones removed). My nonambulatory loved one was exposed to heat, dropped, suffered a fall and hip fracture with delayed care before death-I suspect elder abuse, theft of clothing, and billing miscommunication. This facility is unsafe and negligent; I do not recommend it and believe administration/DON/social worker should be fired.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment is mixed but leans toward serious concern because while multiple reviewers praise friendly individuals and some facility features, there are repeated and significant safety and care issues that appear throughout the reviews. Positive comments highlight caring nurses and helpful staff members, a pleasant rehab room, adequate or nice apartments, and a dining room with a restaurant-like atmosphere. The facility is described as secure and conveniently close to home by some reviewers. Activities such as karaoke and social events contributed to an enjoyable experience for certain residents, and a few reviewers explicitly recommend the facility.

    Despite those positives, negative reports are frequent and include serious accusations and incidents. Reviewers report falls that resulted in a hip fracture, allegations of clothing theft, instances where staff reportedly dropped residents, and at least one report of a resident dying shortly after care incidents. There are alarming descriptions of unsupervised nonambulatory residents left outside in the heat, removal of a resident's phone leading to isolation, and broader concerns described as possible elder abuse. These items point to lapses in supervision, safety protocols, and resident rights. Several reviewers explicitly characterize these as negligence or safety failures.

    Communication and administrative problems are a recurring theme. Many reviews note poor communication with family members, unresponsiveness or slow responses to requests, and billing miscommunications. The social worker is described by some as unavailable or too busy, and there are reports of therapy scheduling problems and difficulty coordinating with outside doctors. At least one reviewer called for firing of administration, the director of nursing, and the social worker, reflecting high frustration with management responsiveness. One review specifically mentions delayed care prior to a death, which raises concerns about escalation and clinical decision processes.

    Dining and food quality reports are conflicting. While the dining room itself is described as restaurant-like by some, at least one review reports extremely poor food quality. There is also a minor but notable complaint about inadequate night snacks. Facilities-wise, the rehab room and apartments receive positive mentions, indicating that some physical aspects of the campus are satisfactory, but these do not offset the safety and care criticisms.

    Staff performance is described inconsistently: multiple reviewers call staff friendly, helpful, and informative, and praise nurses in particular, while others report neglect, slow responses, and direct care failures. This variability suggests uneven staffing, training, or supervision—some staff provide good person-centered care while others fall short of expected standards. Therapy resources exist but scheduling and coordination problems undermine effectiveness for some families.

    Taken together, the reviews signal a facility with some redeeming features—pleasant spaces, a secure location, and pockets of compassionate staff—but also with multiple serious and recurring operational and safety concerns. The most urgent themes for follow-up are fall prevention and post-fall care, supervision of vulnerable residents (including policies about leaving nonambulatory residents unattended), protection of personal belongings, timely and transparent family communication, staffing adequacy and training, and review of administrative responsiveness and billing practices. Given the severity of some reported incidents (falls with serious injury, alleged neglect, death shortly after care failures), these patterns merit careful investigation by facility leadership and, where appropriate, regulatory authorities. For prospective residents and families, the mixed reviews suggest conducting thorough, specific inquiries during tours and asking for documentation of staffing levels, incident records, safety protocols, and how the facility addresses complaints and adverse events.

    About Country Club Retirement Center at Bellaire

    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.
