There are places that feel like institutions… And then there are places that feel like sacred ground. 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. They honored him. They saw him. They were patient on the hard days. They were gentle on the quiet days. They celebrated him on the good days. They treated him with dignity. They spoke to him with respect. They handled him with tenderness. They learned his rhythms, his moods, his stories. They weren’t just staff they became extended family. In a season filled with grief, uncertainty, and exhaustion… they were steady. They were compassionate. They were present. Nursing is not just a profession it is a calling. And the team at The Guest House walked in that calling every single day with my dad. From the nurses, to the aides, to the administrators, to the housekeeping staff every single person mattered in his care, and it showed. You don’t always know what a place will be like until you need it. And when we needed them most, they showed up with excellence, humanity, and heart. Thank you for holding my father’s hands when we couldn’t be there. Thank you for speaking kindness over him. Thank you for making his final season one marked by care and dignity. We will never forget what you did for our family. Forever grateful. 🤍

Kudos for The office staff at this facility. Everyone has treated me with concern as both my parents were residence here. My dad passed away October 12, 2024. His attendees were great towards him. My mom, who still resides here, has had several falls due to back problems and knee problems. She. also suffers with dementia. I have noticed that some of the staff does not seem to be as concerned as they should be in checking on their patients. I do not see anyone checking on her periodically. This is very concerning due to her falling and laying on the floor for 1 hour and 13 minutes before anyone came in her room. Though the office staff is great, some of the floor workers need to come up to par.

As a patient of many nursing homes in the past 2 years this one has been the best. This place has been outstanding. The food and rehab I absolutely have no complaints. I have been at the guest house for about 6 months and the rehab department has gotten me ready to go back home. The administrator Chis Bihm runs a tight ship and always takes care of any problems I may have. The staff excellent I couldn’t ask for better care. The corporate administrator Rick Newell was very helpful in guiding me to the the nursing home that would best suit my needs. I am very appreciative of the care I have received.

It’s 4:27 a.m. on 8/27/22 and I’m hanging out at The Guest House with mom on her last days. This has been a very emotional journey with difficult decisions to say the least. One of the most difficult was making the decision on a nursing facility and The Guest House was recommended and I’m so glad I listened! I can not articulate how impressed and thankful that am to all the staff here that has gone over and beyond in making my mom feel as comfortable as possible. Their smiles are genuine as well as their hearts. Thank you to Jay Williams, Assisant Administrator, Cecila Enriquez Admissions, Brittany Nurse wing 200 & 600, Angela Nurses aid wing 200, Hand in Hand Hospices Shannon and Denise, and so many more!

The staff are all very nice...my father in law was recently placed in the facility and no concerns yet..The nurse in red named Amanda was attentive and nice, she made sure we knew where to find her and that he will be in okay care.the young lady charge of the activities was very sweet and made sure my family knew where to find her too.. and that my father in law would be taken care of by her and her assistants. Very professional personnel and I don’t think I made a mistake by placing him here. Chris the administrator was very pleasant upon meeting him as well. Thank you Guest House for making our stay more at ease..
