How for-profit homes in Wisconsin compare
This group set against every nursing home in Wisconsin, from the current CMS release.
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.
Beloit Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 110 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and the numbers behind its record deserve a close look. Nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident day, about 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover hits 50%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means aides and nurses are cycling through steadily. The inspection history is the heavier concern: 46 deficiencies on the current record, four at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, plus a $46,542 fine. The last inspection was January 29, 2026. Ask about weekend coverage and how they've corrected the abuse-related findings before deciding.
Green Bay Health Services runs 125 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.37 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 7% below what the home staffs on weekdays, and turnover hits 49.2% against a national figure of 45.8%, so the aides and nurses your family sees may not be there a year from now. The inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, none at the harm level, but six tied to abuse. That mix, thinner staffing plus a hard quality-measure score, is what pulls the home's overall picture down despite a recent June 2025 inspection.
Greenway Manor runs about 2.91 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and its weekend coverage dips another 6% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 53.8% against a national 45.8%, which means more than half the nursing team turns over in a year, that's the number behind its one-star staffing rating from CMS. The health inspection side looks better: a four-star rating and a clean recent inspection on 2026-02-25. But the record carries eight deficiencies, five of them abuse-related, and a corporation owns the place. Fewer hands and a revolving door tend to matter most on evenings and weekends, when families aren't watching.
Willowdale runs lean on nursing hours, 3.47 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, about 12% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 40%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level, though 4 are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in October 2024. The quality measure rating is where the trouble concentrates: 1 out of 5 stars. That combination, decent staffing relative to its size, no serious harm citations, but poor clinical quality metrics, is worth asking the administrator about directly.
Dove Healthcare - Fennimore runs a 50-bed for-profit home in Grant County, and its staffing is genuinely better than average, 4.04 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86. The catch is consistency: weekends run about 8% thinner than weekdays, and turnover sits at 60.4% versus 45.8% nationally, so the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is where things get serious. Thirty-seven deficiencies, six of them at harm or jeopardy level, 13 tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $326,232. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so this is current, not old history. Strong hours, unstable workforce, and a troubled regulatory record can all be true at once.
Plymouth Health Services runs 50 certified beds under for-profit corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.83 nurse hours per resident day. That small gap matters less than what happens on weekends, when hours drop about 12% below the home's own weekday level. The bigger number is turnover: 73.1% of staff leave annually, against a national average of 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are frequently new. Inspectors cited 35 deficiencies on the current record, six of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was August 2025.
Avina On Division runs 50 beds under limited-liability ownership, and its inspection record is the part that should worry you most: 42 deficiencies on file, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way. The one-star health inspection rating reflects that. Staffing is a mixed picture, 3.60 nurse hours per resident day sits about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 18% below the home's own weekday coverage, which is when families often notice fewer hands available. Turnover at 37.5% actually beats the national 45.8%, so the workers who stay seem to stay. A May 2025 inspection means the record is recent, not stale.
Heritage Health Services runs about 3.72 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends dip another 13% below its own weekday staffing. That matters more when you see turnover at 57.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents are frequently new. The inspection record shows 33 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a $16,801 fine on file. The last inspection was in March 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. For-profit ownership under an LLC, 50 beds, and middling marks on both health inspections and quality measures round out a home where the staffing numbers and the deficiency count are telling the same story.
Lake Country runs lean on nurse staffing, 3.54 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 9% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 51.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves within a year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and that churn shows up in the record: 42 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. Two fines total $120,868. The most recent inspection was August 27, 2025, so the picture is current, not stale.
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.
Nurse staffing at Edenbrook Of Oshkosh runs about 12% below the national average, at 3.39 hours per resident day, and it thins out further on weekends, roughly 10% less coverage than on weekdays. That matters because turnover sits at 59.8% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning nearly six in ten caregivers left over the past year, so the people on the floor are often new. The current inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, with no violations at the harm level. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company, and the most recent inspection was in March 2025.
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.
Mineral Point Health Services runs 39 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing tells a mixed story. Nurses provide 3.61 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 37.9%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the real concern: 10 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in April 2025. A 2/5 inspection rating alongside a 4/5 staffing rating suggests the day-to-day coverage looks steadier on paper than the survey history does.
The inspection record is what stands out here: 46 deficiencies at last count, including nine tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level. A single-star health inspection rating backs that up, and the most recent survey was April 8, 2026, so the findings are current rather than old history.
Nurse staffing sits at 3.65 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends drop about 6% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover runs 45.3%, close to the national 45.8%, so retention isn't the outlier, the gaps are coverage and the survey record at this for-profit corporate home.
North Ridge runs 94 certified beds in Manitowoc under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.91 hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86, about a 1% edge. That thin margin matters because weekends drop roughly 7% below the home's own weekday levels, and turnover runs 50.8% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 49 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $12,740 fine and a December 2025 inspection. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, land at 2 out of 5.
Columbus Health And Rehab runs 50 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers tell a mixed story. At 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 47.8%, a couple points above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. CMS rates health inspections and quality measures 2 out of 5, staffing 3 out of 5, with the most recent inspection in May 2026.
Oakbrook runs 58 beds in Thorp under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends drop about 9% below what the home itself provides on weekdays, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The bigger concern is the inspection record: ten deficiencies, five of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Staff turnover at 45.9% is essentially the national average, meaning this home replaces workers about as fast as everyone else. The most recent inspection was January 29, 2026.
St. Anne's Salvatorian Campus runs on a nonprofit model with 50 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.02 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. That's the good news. The rest is harder: 61 deficiencies on the current record, seven of them at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $326,060. Staff turnover matches the national rate at 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below weekdays. The last inspection was November 2024. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and 2-out-of-5 on quality measures tell you where the problems concentrate, and it isn't staffing hours on paper.
Heritage Lakeside runs 5.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and that staffing earns a 4 out of 5 from CMS. The problem sits elsewhere. Inspectors have cited 68 deficiencies, six of them at harm or jeopardy level and twelve tied to abuse, with a single $115,181 fine on record. The health inspection rating is 1 out of 5, and the most recent survey was April 2026. Weekend coverage also drops about 16% below weekday levels, so the strong average hides thinner stretches. Good hours, rough inspection history, that combination is what a family should weigh.
