The Guest House Care Center's lower-tercile CMS stars
Quality ratings
On Care Compare (data as of April 2026), the overall star is a roll-up of three separately tracked sub-ratings: health inspection, staffing, and quality measures. The comparison chart below shows where each one sits relative to Louisiana.
What each sub-rating measures

The staffing rating compares case-mix-adjusted nurse hours per resident day to national benchmarks, and quality measures aggregate 15 clinical indicators including pressure ulcers, falls with injury, and long-stay antipsychotic use.
Size and setting
Located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Bed capacity and average daily census, where CMS reports them, are in Facility details below. Its ownership type, listed in Facility details, can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. With occupancy around 91%, bed usage here sits in the range typical of a stabilized facility.
Same-ownership peers
Within Louisiana, The Guest House Care Center is one of 72 for profit - corporation nursing homes CMS rates. Its 1-star overall rating sits below the for profit - corporation-segment average of 2.3 stars, ahead of roughly 0% of same-ownership peers in the state. Comparing a facility against its own ownership segment holds the business model roughly constant, which helps isolate facility-level performance from the staffing and reinvestment patterns that differ across for-profit, non-profit, and government operators.

CMS has levied enforcement penalties - civil money penalties or denials of payment, during the same window.
