All 4 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Brookfield,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
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.
Complete Care At Care Age has 110 certified beds in Brookfield and runs on a for-profit corporate model. The staffing numbers look decent on paper, 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% above the national average, but weekend coverage dips roughly 7% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 69% against a national average of 45.8%. That churn matters more than the headline staffing figure. On inspections, the home holds a 1-out-of-5 star rating, with 31 deficiencies on record, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. Two fines total $80,375, and the most recent inspection was June 2025.
Franciscan Woods has enough nurses on paper, 4.39 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, and that's where the good news mostly stops. Weekend coverage drops about 16% below its own weekday level, so the hours aren't spread evenly across the week. The bigger problem is continuity: annual turnover sits at 76%, well above the national 45.8%, which means the people providing that care keep leaving. On inspections, the record shows 50 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm level and 7 tied to abuse, with a $120,905 fine and a survey from April 2026. Low inspection and quality scores against strong staffing numbers tell you the issue isn't how many staff there are, it's what's happening when they're there.
Aria Of Brookfield runs 170 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.40 hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 8% leaner than weekdays. Staff turnover is 71%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. The current inspection record shows 109 deficiencies, including 10 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $396,970. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, sit at 1 out of 5. The most recent inspection was August 27, 2025.
