St Joseph Residence runs on roughly 6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, about 56% more than the typical American nursing home. Staff turnover sits at 38.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday pace, worth asking about if you'll be visiting Saturdays. The 13 deficiencies on record include two tied to abuse; none reached harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was October 2025. Under church-related nonprofit ownership, its federal ratings land at 4 out of 5 for health inspections and 5 out of 5 for both quality measures and staffing.

Shorehaven runs on a nonprofit model with 5.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86, that staffing depth is the core of its profile. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 38.8%, better than the 45.8% national rate. Those numbers support the top CMS marks in staffing and quality measures, plus a 4/5 on health inspections. The record isn't clean, though. Ten deficiencies are on file, two at the harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, with the last inspection dated June 2025. For a family weighing this home, that combination, strong day-to-day staffing, some serious past findings, is what deserves your questions.

Lasata Care Center is county-owned, and that shows up in the staffing numbers: 5.73 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 48% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips only about 7% below its own weekday level, so care doesn't thin out much on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 40.8%, better than the national 45.8%. The tradeoff is in the inspection record, 10 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but five flagged as abuse-related. That's worth asking about directly. The last inspection was January 7, 2026, so the picture is current.

The Masonic Center for Health & Rehab runs about 5.03 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 30% above the national average, and its staff retention is unusually strong for this industry, turnover sits at 25.4% against a national figure near 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Inspectors were last in on June 4, 2025, and the home carries three deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Nonprofit ownership under a corporate structure, 50 beds, and consistent staffing are the main things working in its favor.

Cedar Lake runs on 5.14 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third more than the national average, and it holds a five-star CMS staffing rating because of it. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below the home's own weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 37%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is recent, April 2026, with 12 deficiencies and none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related and deserve a direct question.

Saint Johns On The Lake runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with just 27 certified beds, and the staffing numbers stand out: 5.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 38.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though still meaning more than a third of staff leaving annually. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 14 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a June 2025 inspection. Strong staffing and a clean recent survey don't cancel out that history; they sit alongside it.

Shady Lane runs on a nonprofit model with about 5.11 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a third more staffing than the typical American nursing home. That shows up clearly in the government's staffing rating, which sits at the top of the scale, and weekend coverage holds up reasonably well, dipping only about 7% below weekday levels. Staff turnover of 37.7% is better than the national average of 45.8%, though more than a third of the workforce still leaves each year. The tradeoff is a mixed record: four deficiencies on file, one serious enough to involve harm, alongside middle-of-the-road quality measures. The most recent inspection was April 2025, so the picture is current.

Glenhaven runs a genuinely strong staffing operation, 4.65 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and CMS gives that a top rating. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, though, so the schedule isn't perfectly even. The trade-off shows up in the inspection record: 33 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse, with the most recent state visit in March 2026. Staff turnover sits at 53.8%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. Quality measures score well, but a 2/5 inspection rating is the number a family should ask about directly, specifically what those abuse deficiencies involved and what's changed since.

St Paul Elder Services in Kaukauna runs on 4.80 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the typical American nursing home. That cushion matters less on paper than it does on a Tuesday afternoon, though weekend coverage does dip about 7% below the home's own weekday level, so the weekend shift is where you'd want to ask questions. Staff turnover sits at 36.6%, well under the national 45.8%, people tend to stay. The current inspection record shows 8 deficiencies, none at the harm level, but 2 tied to abuse, which is worth asking about directly. A recent 5-star health inspection and nonprofit ownership round out the picture.

Evergreen Health Center runs 5.08 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 31% above the national average of 3.86, that's a real staffing cushion, though weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. The 8 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related finding, but none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in March 2025, so the picture is current. Staff turnover sits at 49%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, which means this nonprofit is replacing workers at a slightly faster clip than average despite the generous hours.

Cedar Crest runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership in Janesville, and the staffing numbers stand out: 5.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 41% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, so care isn't perfectly level across the week, and turnover sits at 41.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still worth asking about. Inspections are recent, and the record shows five deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related. That's the tension here: strong staffing and a clean harm record alongside a small cluster of abuse citations a family should ask about directly.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

St. Camillus runs a 50-bed nonprofit home in Wauwatosa where the day-to-day staffing is genuinely strong, 4.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 9% below its own weekday level, which is modest by industry standards. Turnover sits at 41.5%, a bit better than the national 45.8%. The trouble shows up on the inspection side: 17 deficiencies on the current record, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with $65,881 in fines and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating from CMS. That contrast, high staffing and quality marks against a recent, serious inspection history, is what holds the overall grade down.

Oak Park Place Of Nakoma runs a lean 33-bed operation on Madison's west side, and the nurse staffing here is genuinely heavy, 5.49 hours per resident day, roughly 42 percent above the national figure, with weekends dipping only slightly below weekdays. That's the kind of coverage families notice when they visit at odd hours. The tension sits elsewhere: 30 deficiencies on the current record, including one tied to abuse, even though none rose to the level of actual harm. Staff turnover of 58.5 percent is well above the national 45.8 percent, meaning the people providing that generous staffing are often new. The most recent inspection came in January 2026.

Bethany Home runs on a corporate for-profit model with 100 certified beds, and the raw staffing number looks good on paper, 4.52 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent above the national average. But that average hides churn: 73.7 percent of staff turned over in a year, versus about 46 percent nationally, and weekend coverage drops about 11 percent below the home's own weekday level. Inspections tell a mixed story too. Ten deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, though the most recent inspection was in May 2025 and the quality measure score came back strong.
