These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 32% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 14 findings, above the LA average of 8.3. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
The Guest House Skilled Nursing Rehabilitation receives highly polarized reviews, with some families praising the compassionate care and clean environment, while others report severe incidents of neglect and poor management. Recurring complaints focus on understaffing, particularly at night, and significant lapses in patient safety, including unmonitored exits and physical injuries. Families considering this facility should be aware of the stark contrast between positive experiences with specific staff members and reports of systemic organizational failures.

Key Review Excerpts
“The Guest House was sacred ground for our family. When Dad needed more care than we could provide at home, we entrusted him to The Guest House and they did not just “take care” of him… they loved him.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
