Inspection Report Summary for Belltower Health & Rehabilitation Center

The most recent inspection on June 27, 2025, found the facility in compliance with no deficiencies related to the complaint investigated. Prior inspections showed a mixed pattern with some deficiencies noted in areas such as food storage sanitation and staff credentialing, as well as issues with resident care including medication administration and abuse resolution. Earlier reports frequently cited deficiencies related to emergency preparedness, life safety code compliance, care planning, and infection control, but no fines or license actions were listed in the available reports. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, though one in May 2025 was substantiated with deficiencies related to abuse policies and medication orders. The facility’s recent clean inspection suggests some improvement following prior citations, particularly in complaint-related compliance.
