Working at Garden Isle Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center

Garden Isle Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center is a 110-bed nursing home in Lihue, Hawaii. Over the 12-month period CMS measures, 11.1% of its registered nurses stopped working here. Across the 40 Hawaii nursing homes CMS reports, the average is 30.7%, so Garden Isle Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center keeps its RNs better than 93% of nursing homes in the state.

Staffing tells a different story. Residents here receive about 94 minutes of RN time per day, against 104 minutes across Hawaii. That is less RN coverage than most Hawaii nursing homes. CMS gives Garden Isle Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center a staffing rating of 5 out of 5.

What this means if you apply here

  • About 89% of RNs counted here stayed through CMS's 12-month measurement period, so you would join a team with continuity.
  • RN hours per resident run below the state average, so ask how assignments are built on your shift.

Questions to ask in your interview

  • How many residents does each RN cover on the shift I would work?
  • How is weekend RN coverage handled?
  • What keeps your RNs here? Ask the nurses you meet, not only the manager.
