Clement Manor is a 50-bed nonprofit in Greenfield run by a church group, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, five stars, seven deficiencies on file with nothing at the harm or jeopardy level. Two of those are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Daily nurse staffing comes in around 4.14 hours per resident, roughly 7% above the national average, though weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday levels. Annual turnover sits at 52.5%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The last full inspection was December 2024. Quality and staffing measures both land mid-range at three stars. Solid care oversight, but the weekend dip and turnover rate are the two things to press on.
Oakwood Village East runs lean on problems and heavy on staff, 5.51 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, with turnover slightly better than typical. But the inspection record tells a different story: 18 deficiencies logged, including three tied to abuse and one at the harm level, and a single fine of $326,260. That's a serious penalty, not a paperwork slip. Weekend staffing dips about 8% below weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even. The most recent inspection was in July 2025, so the record is current. If you're considering this home, ask directly about those abuse-related findings and what changed since.
Nurse staffing at Oak Park runs 4.35 hours per resident day, well ahead of the national average, and that's the strongest part of the picture. But weekends drop about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, and 53.1% turnover means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, so the extra hours don't buy as much continuity as they might appear to. The inspection record is the real problem: 43 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level, eight tied to abuse, plus a $67,410 fine. One star for health inspections against four for staffing says the care plan is often better staffed than it is followed.
Milwaukee Catholic Home runs on a nonprofit model with 107 certified beds, and its most recent inspection in June 2025 turned up 15 deficiencies, none of which rose to the level of harm or jeopardy, and none tied to abuse. That's a meaningful distinction, because plenty of homes with cleaner-looking counts have worse findings buried in them. Where this one gets shakier is staffing, which earned just one star out of five, even though its 42.5% turnover rate is actually a bit better than the national average of 45.8%. Reading those two together, the issue doesn't look like people leaving so much as not enough of them to begin with.
Sun Prairie Senior Living runs 52 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out, 3.70 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 5% below the home's own weekday level. That thin margin shows up in the 2-out-of-5 staffing rating, and it's happening alongside a 57.8% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people providing care change often. The current record carries 31 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a 3-out-of-5 inspection rating. Quality measures score better at 4 out of 5, and the most recent inspection was April 2026.
Serenity Spring Senior Living at Scandia Village runs on thinner staffing than most places: 3.45 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage. That's the kind of gap families feel on a Sunday afternoon. Turnover sits at 70.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses caring for your relative are likely newer than the building itself suggests. The inspection record backs that up, 37 deficiencies, three tied to abuse and one serious enough to cause harm, with the most recent survey in May 2025. Individual for-profit ownership, 50 beds, and a two-star health inspection rating round out the picture.
Luther Manor runs 4.81 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86, and CMS gives it four stars for staffing. That's the good news, and it's real. The rest is harder. Fifty deficiencies sit on the current record, seven of them at harm or jeopardy level and twelve abuse-related, with six fines totaling $170,666. Staff turnover is 55.2% against a national 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops about 10% below its own weekday level. The last inspection, in December 2025, produced a one-star health inspection rating. The nonprofit owner is a corporation, not a family operation. Strong hours on paper aren't reaching residents the way the numbers suggest they should.
Oak Park Place of Janesville runs 35 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing picture is mixed in a way that matters. Total nurse coverage sits at 4.00 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 11% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 76.7% against a national figure of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 33 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in June 2025.
Waunakee Valley Senior Living runs 84 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers split in an unusual way. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, with weekends roughly 9% thinner than weekdays, which matters because that's when families often visit and when fewer eyes are on residents. Staff turnover is the bigger concern: 62.5% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative may be new to the building within the year. The inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus $32,856 in fines across two penalties. The quality measure score looks strong, but that's largely self-reported data, while the inspection and staffing stars tell a different story. Worth asking about directly.
Samaritan runs a genuine split personality. The nursing hours are real, 4.95 per resident per day, roughly 28% above the national average, and weekends thin out about 15% from that weekday level, which is a normal dip. But 75.7% of staff turned over in a year against a national 45.8%, so those hours keep getting delivered by new faces.
Then there's the record. Fifty-seven deficiencies, four serious enough to put residents in harm's way, eight tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $210,298. The health inspection rating sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, and the last inspection was January 2025. A corporation owns it. Good staffing numbers don't erase a paper trail like that.
Tudor Oaks runs more nursing hours per resident than most homes nationally, 4.34 versus 3.86, but that edge thins on weekends, when coverage drops about 9% below its own weekday levels. The bigger concern sits in the inspection record: 37 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and nine tied to abuse. A single fine of $180,810 followed the most recent inspection in June 2025. Staff turnover of 56.4% runs well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. This church-affiliated nonprofit has real strengths in direct staffing, but the harm-level and abuse-related findings are the kind families should ask about directly before deciding.
Stevens Point Health Services runs 50 beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.66 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national figure of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover is 57.1% against a national average of 45.8%, so the aides and nurses your family sees may keep changing. The inspection record shows 48 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and seven tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was July 2025. Quality measure scores land at 1 out of 5 stars, meaning clinical outcomes like falls and infections trail what CMS expects.
New Glarus Home runs on better-than-average nurse coverage, 3.95 hours per resident day, just above the national figure, though weekends dip about 5% below its own weekday pace, and staff turnover sits at 50.8%, worse than the 45.8% national rate. The inspection record is where the trouble shows: 40 deficiencies, including 4 at harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse, plus a $60,466 fine. Its last inspection was March 2026, so that record is current, not stale. That combination, solid staffing scores undercut by a heavy, recent deficiency history at a church-affiliated nonprofit, is what pulls the overall picture down.
Lindengrove New Berlin runs below average on nurse staffing, at 3.65 hours per resident day against a national figure of 3.86, and it thins out further on weekends, roughly 10% below its own weekday level, which matters when families visit and needs don't pause. The inspection record is the bigger concern: a one-star health inspection rating, 32 deficiencies on file including four at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling just over $100,000. Staff turnover sits at 46.6%, essentially in line with the national rate. The most recent inspection was in January 2025.
Lindengrove Waukesha runs a nonprofit home with 61 beds, and its nurse staffing sits slightly above the national average at 3.98 hours per resident day, but weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The bigger concerns are elsewhere: staff turnover is 70.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are new to the building within the year. Inspectors have cited 47 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a $39,621 fine and a September 2025 inspection on record.
Avina Of Milwaukee runs 108 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing comes in at 3.97 nurse hours per resident day, modestly ahead of the national average but thinning out on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 17% below its own weekday level. The bigger concern sits in the numbers behind that average: annual turnover of 74% against a national norm near 46%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new to the building. Its inspection record carries 80 deficiencies, including 16 tied to abuse and 5 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus $90,921 in fines and a one-star health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was March 2026.
Maplewood Center has real staffing muscle, 5.12 nurse hours per resident day sits about a third above the national average, but the inspection record is where the story turns. Eighty-one deficiencies on the current record, eleven of them at harm or jeopardy level and ten tied to abuse, with $352,483 in fines across four penalties. That's a lot of serious findings for a 150-bed nonprofit, and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating reflects it.
Turnover runs 52.1% against a national 45.8%, so even the strong staffing numbers come with constant churn, and weekend coverage drops about 9% below weekdays. The most recent inspection was May 2025, so the record is current.
The Jewish Home and Care Center in Milwaukee runs about 5.01 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average, yet weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 52.4%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. What tempers that staffing picture is the record: 33 deficiencies on file, seven at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with one $8,959 fine. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, and its most recent inspection came April 6, 2026. A nonprofit operator and strong weekday hours don't erase a harm-level deficiency pattern.
