Guardian Care Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Guardian Care Nursing & Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which puts it at about average compared to nursing homes nationwide. That overall rating is a composite picture, so it's worth understanding what's underneath it, because the three pieces tell pretty different stories about this facility. The 2-star Health Inspection rating means state inspectors have cited this facility for a higher-than-average number of problems, or more serious ones, during their on-site visits. That's worth paying attention to, since those inspections look at things like safety protocols, medication management, and how well the facility follows care standards. The 2-star Staffing rating signals that residents here receive fewer nursing hours per day than most facilities, which can affect how quickly staff respond to needs and how much hands-on attention each person gets. On the brighter side, the 5-star Quality Measures rating is genuinely strong. It's based on 15 clinical indicators like fall rates, pressure wounds, and residents' ability to maintain physical function, and a top score there means resident health outcomes are tracking much better than average. Families should weigh all three pieces together. The quality outcomes are a real positive, but the inspection history and staffing levels are questions worth asking about directly when you tour.
