Our read on Guardian Angels Health & Rehab Center
Guardian Angels in Hibbing runs a stable ship on the staffing side, 3.99 nurse hours per resident day sits slightly above the national average, and a 26.1% turnover rate is well below the typical 45.8%. That consistency matters, especially on weekends, when coverage still dips about 13% below weekday levels. Where the record gets harder to read is inspections: 41 deficiencies, four serious enough to put residents in harm's way, one tied to abuse, and $26,481 in fines, all reflected in a one-star health inspection rating that last came around in June 2025. Good staffing and a rough regulatory history can coexist, and here they do.
