Our read on Helia Southbelt Healthcare

Helia Southbelt Healthcare runs 156 certified beds in Belleville under individual for-profit ownership, and the numbers behind its record are hard to read any other way. Nurse staffing sits at 3.14 hours per resident per day, roughly 19% under the national average, with weekends about 3% thinner than weekdays, so coverage is stretched before you even get to the harder measures. Inspectors have cited 65 deficiencies, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, and the fines total $240,982. Staff turnover of 37.8% is actually below the national figure, which may be the one bright spot; the last inspection was in September 2025.
