10 Guam Code Ann. HEALTH AND SAFETY
CH. 7 NURSING HOMES

(a) The Department of Public Health and Social Services shall classify nursing homes according to character, size and range of services provided. Wherever it considers distinction to its standards, rules and regulations to be appropriate as among different classes of nursing homes, it may make such distinctions.
(b) No administrator of a nursing home, and no registered nurse who plans and directs the nursing care in a home, shall function as either administrator or one who plans and directs the nursing care for more than one nursing home, unless the homes involved are of a class or classes found by the Department of Public Health and Social Services to be of a character, size and type of operations making it reasonable for a single administrator or registered nurse to perform such functions effectively for more than one (1) nursing home. As part of the classifications made pursuant to this Section, the Department of Public Health and Social Services shall determine and fix specific limits on the number of homes of particular classes which may be served by the same individual acting as administrator or registered nurse responsible for planning and directing nursing care. No such administrator or nurse shall accept employment in violation of such limitations; nor shall the owner or administrator of a nursing home knowingly employ any person in violation thereof. The Department of Public Health and Social Services shall not issue or renew any nursing home license bearing the name of an administrator, if the name of such administrator already appears on the maximum number of nursing home licenses permitted by its standards, rules and regulations.
