Guest House Nursing and Rehabilitation
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
Guest House Nursing and Rehabilitation has received a Trust Grade of F, which indicates significant concerns about the quality of care provided. Ranking #204 out of 264 facilities in Louisiana places them in the bottom half, while being #9 out of 10 in Ouachita County means only one local option is considered worse. Although the facility's trend is improving, with a reduction in issues from 13 in 2024 to 10 in 2025, the current staffing rating is below average at 2 out of 5 stars, with a high turnover rate of 63%. There are no fines recorded, which is a positive sign, but the average RN coverage means residents may not receive the highest level of medical oversight. Specific incidents of concern include the failure to maintain safe and clean environments for residents, such as broken wheelchairs, and the lack of security in the medication room, which was left unlocked and unattended. Overall, while there are some positive aspects, the facility has significant weaknesses that families should carefully consider.

CMS assigns Guest House Nursing and Rehabilitation an overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars, which is considered much below average nationally. Within Louisiana, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Guest House Nursing And Rehabilitation Staffed?
CMS rates Guest House Nursing and Rehabilitation's staffing level at 2 out of 5 stars, which is below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 63%, which is 17 percentage points above the Louisiana average of 46%. High turnover can affect care consistency as new staff learn residents' individual needs. RN turnover specifically is 67%, which is notably high. RNs provide skilled clinical oversight, so turnover in this role can affect medical care quality.
What Have Inspectors Found at Guest House Nursing And Rehabilitation?
State health inspectors documented 31 deficiencies at Guest House Nursing and Rehabilitation during 2023 to 2025. These included: 31 with potential for harm.
Who Owns and Operates Guest House Nursing And Rehabilitation?
Guest House Nursing and Rehabilitation is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility operates independently rather than as part of a larger chain. With 140 certified beds and approximately 105 residents (about 75% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in WEST MONROE, Louisiana.
How Does Guest House Nursing And Rehabilitation Compare to Other Louisiana Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Louisiana, Guest House Nursing and Rehabilitation's overall rating (1 stars) is below the state average of 2.4, staff turnover (63%) is significantly higher than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (2 stars) is below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Guest House Nursing And Rehabilitation?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's high staff turnover rate and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Guest House Nursing And Rehabilitation Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, Guest House Nursing and Rehabilitation has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 1-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Louisiana. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Guest House Nursing And Rehabilitation Stick Around?
Staff turnover at Guest House Nursing and Rehabilitation is high. At 63%, the facility is 17 percentage points above the Louisiana average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 67%. RNs handle complex medical decisions and coordinate care — frequent RN changes can directly impact care quality. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was Guest House Nursing And Rehabilitation Ever Fined?
Guest House Nursing and Rehabilitation has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.
Is Guest House Nursing And Rehabilitation on Any Federal Watch List?
Guest House Nursing and Rehabilitation is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
