What to ask about before you visit

These are findings in the public CMS record for this home. They are not our opinion, each one comes straight from a federal inspection or enforcement file.

  • Abuse icon on record

    CMS flags this facility for citations of abuse that caused harm, or potential for harm, to residents.

  • Nursing staff turnover of 76%

    High turnover means residents rarely see the same caregiver twice. The national average is about 50%.

Our read on Meadow Brook Medical Care Facility

Meadow Brook Medical Care Facility is county-owned, with 133 certified beds in Bellaire. Three out of four caregivers left their jobs last year, 75.7% turnover against a national average of 45.8%, and CMS gives the home its lowest staffing rating, one star out of five. That instability shows up in the inspection record too: nine deficiencies currently on file, including two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy and two tied to abuse. Health inspection and quality measure ratings each sit at two stars. State surveyors were last in the building in September 2025, so the picture is recent. For a family weighing this home, the turnover number and the abuse-related findings are the two things worth asking about directly before a tour.
