Is The Belvedere Center, Genesis Healthcare a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 3 out of 5 stars overall, about the same as the Pennsylvania average of 3.0. Inspectors issued 23 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 1 penalty, including $37,902 in fines, in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 1 out of 5; for long-term residents, 5 out of 5.
