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 facility at 611 Harmony Drive in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, offering short- and long-term skilled nursing care, rehabilitation services, memory care, respite care, and hospice services. The Medicare-certified community is privately owned and operated by Jeffrey Austin. CMS rates the facility 5 stars overall — 66% above the Wisconsin average — driven in large part by a Health Inspection sub-rating that is 80.5% above state peers. Quality Measures run 39% below the Wisconsin average, a drag on the overall record that prospective families should weigh against the otherwise strong record. Staffing is a genuine differentiator. Total adjusted nurse staffing averages 7 hours and 15 minutes per resident per day, ranking second among 172 Wisconsin skilled nursing facilities and roughly double the state average of 4.4 hours. Physical therapy staffing runs 175% above the state norm, which aligns with the facility’s 49-day average length of stay — a profile oriented toward post-acute rehabilitation rather than permanent placement. The facility’s occupancy rate is 87.5%, well above the Wisconsin average of 70%, signaling consistent local demand. It accepts Medicare and private pay; Medicaid is not accepted. The facility’s private rooms feature private bathrooms and showers. Golden Years of Lake Geneva’s rehabilitation capacity, staffing depth, and short-stay profile fit post-acute patients — joint replacement, cardiac recovery, or neurological rehab — seeking intensive nursing and therapy support before returning home. The private-room setup and above-average PT hours are also suited to families prioritizing clinical oversight and comfort during a transitional stay in Walworth County.
Golden Years of Lake Geneva is legally operated by Jonathan Stankevitz.
