Belle Care Nursing And Rehabilitation Center holds a 1-star overall rating, in the bottom two tiers CMS assigns. Nursing staff turnover of 57% is well above the New Jersey average of 40%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. Federal regulators have fined this facility $27,571 in the last three years. None of this tells you whether a bed is open, whether your insurance is in network, or whether the facility will accept a given level of care — confirm those three directly with the facility before you commit.
