Delavan Health Services

Delavan, WI · Walworth County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
34%
Serious cites
0

Delavan Health Services runs lean on nursing hours, 3.21 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday coverage. The 12 deficiencies on record include one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, which is the kind of finding families should ask about directly. What offsets that somewhat is stability: turnover sits at 34.2%, well under the 45.8% national figure, and the home's last inspection was recent, in December 2024. It's a for-profit LLC with 50 beds, so ask how the weekend staffing gap gets covered when your family member needs help on a Saturday.

Lancaster Health Services runs 50 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.62 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when oversight is lightest. Turnover is the bright spot: 28% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record is where the concern lives, 18 deficiencies, including four tied to abuse and one at the harm level, with a 2/5 health inspection rating. The most recent survey was August 2025, so that record is current. Ask about the abuse citations directly.

Sheboygan Health Services runs 64 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.06 hours per resident day, roughly 21 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 8 percent below its own weekday numbers, so the hours get thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 26.7 percent against a national 45.8 percent, meaning the people who do show up tend to stay. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level; the most recent survey was March 2026. Ask about weekend coverage and those abuse-related citations specifically.

Augusta Health and Rehabilitation runs a lean, well-staffed operation: 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average, with turnover at 34.8% compared to 45.8% nationally. That staffing and retention combination is why it holds a 5/5 staffing star, and it's the strongest thing in its record. The tradeoff shows up in inspections, where it earns 2/5 stars and carries 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. Weekend coverage also runs about 18% lighter than weekdays. If you're weighing this one, ask about those abuse deficiencies and what changed after the February 2025 inspection.

Whispering Pines runs 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 39.5% beats the 45.8% national figure, people tend to stay here longer than at the typical home. Weekends are thinner, though, with staffing dropping roughly 9% below its own weekday level. The inspection record is where the picture darkens: 12 deficiencies on file, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, plus one fine of $12,649. The most recent inspection was in January 2025, and its quality measure rating sits at 4 out of 5.

Dove Healthcare - Osseo

Osseo, WI · Trempealeau County

Staff turnover

Dove Healthcare - Osseo runs a lean ship on direct care: 5.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and weekends stay within about 16% of weekday coverage. Inspections back that up, a four-star health inspection rating, nine deficiencies on record and none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about. The catch is retention: 68.3% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the strong staffing numbers are being sustained by a constantly rotating crew. For-profit corporate ownership, 46 beds, last inspected February 2026.

St Francis Health Services runs 34 beds in Milwaukee, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.27 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 4% below the home's own weekday level. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. On the other side, staff turnover is 28.6%, well below the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The last inspection was recent, February 2026, and the for-profit corporate owner holds middle ratings across health, quality, and staffing.

Complete Care At Glendale West runs a for-profit LLC operation with 94 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.38 hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average. That's the strongest thing going for it, though weekends dip roughly 8% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover of 62.9% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people providing that care keep changing. Inspections are another matter: 38 deficiencies on the current record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a $11,180 fine and a 2/5 health inspection rating. The state last visited in May 2025. Strong quality scores don't erase a citation record like that.

Little Chute Health Services

Little Chute, WI · Outagamie County

CMS 1/550 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites

Little Chute Health Services has real staffing strengths that its inspection record undercuts. Nurse coverage runs 4.20 hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and weekend staffing dips only modestly below weekdays. Turnover sits at 45.7%, essentially identical to the national rate. The problem is the inspection history: 18 deficiencies on the current record, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a single fine of $8,827. That's a lot of serious findings for a 50-bed home, and it's why the health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5 despite 4-star marks for staffing and quality measures. The last inspection was May 2026.

51%
Serious cites
0

Meadowbrook At Chetek runs a for-profit operation with 97 certified beds, and the staffing picture is roughly average on paper, 3.82 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86, but that average hides a real gap: weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Staff turnover sits at 50.7%, above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 33 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Quality measures score well, but that reflects resident outcomes, not how safely the place is run.

Golden Years of Lake Geneva runs 54 beds under corporate ownership, and its last inspection in May 2025 left 11 deficiencies on the books, none involving actual harm or jeopardy, but two tied to abuse. That's the kind of record that reads worse the longer you sit with it, and it's worth asking staff directly what those two were about. The inspection history is strong, with a five-star health inspection rating. But staffing sits at one star against a national turnover average the home only barely beats at 44.6%, and quality measures land at one star too. Good surveys can't carry a building where the people providing daily care keep leaving.

Meadowbrook At Appleton runs a 104-bed for-profit operation where the nursing hours look decent on paper, 4.09 per resident day, about 6% above the national average, but that cushion thins out on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 13% below its own weekday pace. The bigger warning sign is turnover: 55.7% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. Then there's the inspection record: 59 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and a $15,642 fine, with the most recent survey in July 2025. Strong quality scores don't cancel out that enforcement history.

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.

Avina Of Sun Prairie runs 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday staffing. The 45% annual turnover sits right at the national figure, so the aide who knows your mother's routine may or may not still be there next year. Inspectors gave the care quality measures top marks and health inspections 4 out of 5, with 16 deficiencies on record and none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The last inspection was January 8, 2026. Limited liability, for-profit ownership, 50 beds.

Wausau Manor runs a 68-bed for-profit operation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 13% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 32.1% against a national 45.8% means the aides and nurses who show up are more likely to still be there next year. The 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was October 2025, so the paperwork is current. Quality measures score low at 2 stars, which is where I'd push for specifics.

Complete Care At Christian Home runs a for-profit operation in Waupun with 50 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.66 hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekend shifts run about 7% thinner than weekdays, and staff turnover hits 66.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people delivering that care cycle through quickly. The current inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. The most recent inspection was April 15, 2026. Staffing numbers look strong on paper; the inspection history and turnover rate tell a more complicated story.

Four Winds Manor runs a genuinely strong staffing line for its size: 4.84 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and that shows up in the government's staffing rating. The catch is who's providing it. Turnover sits at 70.1 percent against a national 45.8, meaning most of the people in the building this year likely won't be there next year, and weekends already run about 12 percent thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is where this home gets harder to defend. Twenty-eight deficiencies, including two at the level where a resident was harmed or put in immediate jeopardy, and five tied to abuse. The last full inspection was September 2025, so it's current. A corporation runs it for profit. Good coverage, unstable workforce, serious compliance problems.

St. Ann Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 50 certified beds in Milwaukee under corporate for-profit ownership. Its total nurse staffing sits at 4.27 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, but weekend coverage drops about 9% below its own weekday level, so the help you get may depend on which day you visit. The current record shows 21 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse, and a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating from a March 2026 survey. The staffing star rating of 2 suggests the federal formula weighs turnover and mix, not just raw hours.

Pine Crest is county-owned, and that shows up in the numbers in ways both good and mixed. Nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekends run roughly 14% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs more hands-on help on Saturdays and Sundays. The bigger red flag is turnover: 58.3% of staff leave each year, well above the national 45.8%. On paper, the inspection record is solid, a 4-star rating and 16 deficiencies with none at the harm level, but one is abuse-related, which deserves a direct question.

Tomahawk Health Services runs 50 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.52 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 13% lighter than weekdays. Turnover comes in at 40%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The part that would give me pause is the inspection record: 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated April 1, 2026. Quality measures land mid-range and staffing scores relatively well, but that deficiency count is what stands out.
