About Belleview Care Center
Condemned by a one-star rating on every major review site—and by Medicare itself—Belleview Care Center has earned its place among the worst nursing homes in the nation. Federal regulators have already levied $56,000 in fines and uncovered 26 separate health-code violations, yet call bells still echo unanswered, medications vanish, and frail residents are left to languish without the most basic care. Multiple lawsuits and an active Medicare abuse investigation expose a facility where suffering is routine, dignity is disposable, and management profits from the misery it was sworn to prevent.
Families tell stories no one should ever hear: loved ones wasting away, valuables stolen from bedside drawers, and a mounting toll of deaths they believe were both needless and cruel. Each ignored cry, each emptied wallet, each shattered life is an indictment of a system that has utterly failed its most vulnerable charges. If Belleview has hurt someone you love, your testimony can pierce the silence, force accountability, and help rescue those still trapped inside. Speak out—because every voice raised is a step closer to stopping this nightmare.
