The nursing home has 100 beds (83 occupied at last count), making it a fairly average sized nursing home. It is part of CommuniCare, a family of companies that provides post-acute care, which includes skilled nursing rehabilitation centers, long-term care centers, assisted living communities, independent rehabilitation centers and long-term acute care hospitals (LTACH). Except for clinical lab service, x-rays, and vocational services, it has pretty much everything you would want in a nursing home in terms of services.
Bel Air Pre Health and Rehabilitation Center receives average ratings for its staffing. The average time each resident gets with a nurse is just below the state and national averages. Nursing home lawyers look at this with a raised eyebrow because lower staffing usually leads to more mistakes and a lower quality of care.

At Bel Air Pre Health and Rehabilitation Center those numbers, respectively, are 1.3%, 2.4%, and 0.9%.
