Congregational Home in Brookfield runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 66 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 6.36 hours per resident day, roughly 65% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, so the strong overall number isn't perfectly even across the week. Turnover is 46.4%, essentially level with the national 45.8%. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection on July 31, 2025. Quality and staffing measures rate well; the inspection history is where a family should ask questions.

Park View Home runs on a nonprofit model with 50 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 4.38 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, which is why it earned a five-star staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 15% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 40%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The health inspection rating is 4 out of 5, with eight deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was September 24, 2025, so the record is current.

Christian Community Home runs 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in the top CMS staffing and quality scores. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, and staff turnover sits at 49.2%, a few points above the national average, so consistency of caregivers is the real question mark. The recent inspection in February 2025 turned up 12 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none were abuse-related. One fine of $5,293 is on record. For 50 beds under nonprofit ownership, the care hours are there; the inspection record and turnover are what a family should ask about directly.

Newcastle Place sits in Mequon with 47 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing numbers stand out: 5.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 35% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, but turnover at 43.2% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The trouble is the inspection record, 43 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 10 tied to abuse, with a $12,740 fine and a May 2026 inspection date. Strong bedside hours and a clean quality measure score don't cancel out that many serious findings.

United Pioneer Home in Luck sits at 50 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing runs about 4.87 hours per resident day, roughly 26% above the national average. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels, and turnover lands at 45%, essentially matching the national rate. Where things get more complicated is the inspection record: 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. That mix, strong staffing, middling inspection and quality-measure ratings, is what keeps this home in the middle of the pack rather than at the top, despite the caregiver hours.

Baldwin Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 50 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits about 10% above the national average at 4.24 hours per resident day. That strength comes with a wrinkle: weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the care your family member gets on a Saturday may look thinner than on a Tuesday. Staff turnover is 52.3%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means familiar faces cycle out faster than average. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed in December 2025.

Skaalen runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.33 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekend staffing dips about 12% below its own weekday level, which is common but still worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. Staff turnover sits at 36.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the home's last inspection was in January 2026, so the record is recent. Eight deficiencies are on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The inspection and staffing ratings both come in at 5 out of 5; quality measures land at 3.

Staff turnover

Staffing at St Marys Home for the Aged runs well ahead of most homes, about 5.09 nurse hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends stay fairly close to weekday coverage, dipping roughly ten percent rather than falling off a cliff. Inspections back that up: the most recent visit was December 2025, and its twelve deficiencies include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related. The caution is turnover, 51.5 percent a year against 45.8 nationally, meaning roughly half the nursing staff leaves annually. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership tends to bring steadier long-term direction, but consistent staffing depends on who actually stays.

Water's Edge runs a strong staffing operation, 4.50 nurse hours per resident day, about 17% above the national average, and that shows up in its federal staffing rating. Weekends dip roughly 11% below weekday levels, though, so the coverage families see on a Saturday isn't quite the weekday picture. The 51.9% turnover rate sits above the national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over in a year. Five deficiencies appear on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy; none were abuse-related. Inspectors were last on site in May 2025, and the nonprofit owner has kept quality measures around the middle of the pack.

Grace Lutheran Communities - River Pines runs about 4.99 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips only about 8% below its weekday level. The record shows 7 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated May 21, 2026. Staff turnover sits at 51.4%, higher than the 45.8% national average, which is worth asking about directly. As a nonprofit with 50 certified beds, it carries four out of five stars on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing alike.

Good Shepherd Services runs a tight ship on direct care: 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, with 4 out of 5 stars for staffing. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Turnover hits 52.9% against a national 45.8%, and weekend coverage dips about 17% below weekday levels, so the hands on deck can shift depending on the day. Inspections returned 14 deficiencies, none at harm level but five tied to abuse, and the last survey was recent enough to reflect current conditions. For a 50-bed nonprofit, the floor care is the strength; the questions are stability and consistency.

Hebron Oaks runs a nonprofit shop with 70 beds in Madison, and its strongest suit is clearly people: 5.91 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 53% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 46.2%, essentially the national norm, so you're not looking at a staffing crisis. The trouble is on the record. Ten deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus a $22,925 fine and a mid-2025 inspection that's now some months back. A 3-out-of-5 inspection rating against 5s for staffing and 4s for quality measures is the whole story here: enough hands on deck, but a paper trail worth asking hard questions about before you sign anything.

Fair View runs a tight ship on the clinical side. The Mauston nonprofit's last state inspection, in March 2026, left nine deficiencies on record, none of them serious enough to cause harm or put anyone in immediate jeopardy. Staffing sits right at the national average, and weekend coverage dips about 13% below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays. What stands out is retention: 20% turnover against a national average near 46% means aides and nurses tend to stay, which usually shows up in how well residents are known. One abuse-related citation is on the books, so read that inspection report yourself.

Sheboygan Senior Community runs about 4.26 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 10 percent above the national figure, and weekend staffing only dips about 5 percent below its own weekday levels, a fairly steady pattern. Staff turnover sits at 36.8 percent, noticeably under the national 45.8 percent, so the same caregivers are more likely to still be there next year. The concerns show up elsewhere. The current record lists 28 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, and the last inspection was in January 2026. Quality measures score well; the inspection and staffing ratings don't.

Eastcastle Pl Bradford Ter runs 5.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more staffing than the national average, and that shows up in its five-star staffing and quality ratings. The tradeoff is consistency: weekend coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 53.2% sits above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is the weaker side, 16 deficiencies, including one at harm level and two tied to abuse, with $99,452 in fines. The most recent inspection was February 2026, so the record is current. Strong day-to-day care numbers, but staffing stability and a serious citation history are the things to ask about directly.

Serious cites

Mercy Manor runs on 8.47 nurse hours per resident day, more than double the national average, and that staffing shows up in the ratings, four stars for staffing, five for quality measures. The catch is consistency: weekend coverage drops roughly 17% below what the home provides on weekdays, so care depends on when you visit. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to cause harm and two tied to abuse, plus a single $53,847 fine. Last inspection was July 2025, so the record is recent. A nonprofit with 28 beds can know every resident well. It can also struggle to cover a weekend.
