Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
Most new residents arrive under Medicare (67% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 18 days.
Golden Years of Lake Geneva is a 54-bed skilled nursing home on Harmony Drive in Lake Geneva, in rural Walworth County, Wisconsin. The home is operated by Golden Years Nursing Home Inc, owned by Jeffrey Austin, and administered by Jonathan Stankevitz. It accepts Medicare and private pay, giving families more than one route to cover a stay.
Nursing support is a defining feature here. Total nursing care averages 7 hours and 15 minutes per resident each day, with registered nurses contributing 1 hour and 22 minutes of that time. That level of daily coverage points to a home built for residents who need consistent clinical attention. Alongside nursing care, the home offers rehabilitation services, which fits with an average length of stay of 49 days, a pattern more typical of short-term recovery than long-term placement.
The home currently runs at 60 percent occupancy, with 33 of its 54 beds filled. State health inspections since 2022 have most often centered on medication management practices and on resident care and rights, with no findings at the most serious levels, and noted items have been corrected.
Lake Geneva sits in a walkable pocket of the county, with the home scoring 76 out of 100 on Walk Score, meaning many errands can be handled on foot. For visiting family, that makes the surrounding area easy to get around without relying entirely on a car.
Golden Years of Lake Geneva is administered by Jonathan Stankevitz.
