How for-profit homes in Wisconsin compare
This group set against every nursing home in Wisconsin, from the current CMS release.
Suring Health and Rehab runs lean on nursing hours, 3.01 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 14% below its own weekday coverage. That matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and problems surface. The inspection record carries 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse, plus an $84,425 fine. Staff turnover sits at 48.6%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents are changing often. Ownership is corporate and for-profit, and the most recent inspection was in September 2024. Ask about weekend nurse coverage and how the abuse-related findings were resolved.
Edenbrook Omro runs about 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday staffing. That headline number looks decent until you see turnover: 71.7% of staff leave each year, against a national average near 46%. Seventeen deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy. The health inspection side is genuinely strong, and the last survey was recent, in September 2025. But the 2-out-of-5 staffing star and that churn rate suggest the people providing care keep changing, which is hard on residents who need consistency. For-profit, limited liability ownership.
Dove Healthcare - St Croix Falls runs 50 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is mixed in a way that matters. Its 4.24 nurse hours per resident day sits about 10% above the national average of 3.86, but weekend coverage drops roughly 14% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover is 64.8% against a national 45.8%. That churn shows up in the inspection record: 50 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 abuse-related, with two fines totaling $62,134. The most recent inspection was September 2025, and CMS rates health inspections 2 out of 5, quality measures 4 out of 5. Strong quality scores and above-average weekday staffing coexist with real compliance problems and a workforce that keeps turning over.
Avina Of Kenosha runs 153 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits about 10 percent under the national average at 3.47 hours per resident day. Weekends drop roughly 17 percent below its own weekday coverage, which matters when a resident needs help on a Saturday night. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 53 deficiencies, seven of them at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, plus a $33,989 fine. Staff turnover runs 49 percent, higher than the 45.8 percent national figure. Quality measures score well, and the most recent inspection was July 2025, so the picture isn't stale. But the gap between strong quality scores and a troubled inspection history is worth asking about directly.
Middleton Village runs a 97-bed for-profit operation, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average. That's the one bright spot. Weekend coverage drops about 17% below its own weekday level, so the hours aren't distributed evenly across the week. Meanwhile, annual turnover hits 51.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is where things get serious: 63 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, and 13 tied to abuse. Two fines total $67,772, and the most recent inspection was March 5, 2026. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating tells you what the state found.
Williams Bay Health Services runs about 11% leaner on nurse staffing than the national average, 3.43 hours per resident day against 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 58.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. Its record shows 12 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, which is a serious pattern for a 50-bed home. The last inspection was in March 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. For-profit corporate ownership rounds out the profile.
Burlington Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 123 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers worth your attention are the staffing and inspection record. Nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 62.6% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning caregivers cycle through quickly. The inspection history is the heavier concern: 95 deficiencies on the current record, 15 tied to abuse and 8 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, with two fines totaling $371,858 and a fresh August 2025 inspection.
Edenbrook Lakeside runs 145 beds in Milwaukee, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd look at. At 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 34 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and $138,434 in fines across two cases, with the last inspection in October 2024. Turnover at 41.4% is actually a bit better than average, which suggests the problem isn't retention so much as how many hands are on deck.
Maple Ridge runs 80 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits about 7% under the national average at 3.58 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families often visit. Turnover at 40.8% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The harder numbers are the 31 deficiencies on record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus a $14,433 fine. The most recent inspection was April 30, 2025, so the record is current, not stale.
Mercy Health Services runs 60 certified beds in Milwaukee under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. Nurse coverage sits at 3.73 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover is the bigger concern: 62.3% of staff left over the past year, against a national average of 45.8%. Inspections in May 2025 turned up 32 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and eight related to abuse, with $47,753 in fines on record. CMS rates the home 2 out of 5 on both staffing and quality measures, and 3 on inspections.
Avina On 32Nd runs about 2.89 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends are thinner still, around 16% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 48.6%, a few points above the national figure, and the state's current record shows 42 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse. The last inspection was November 20, 2024. One fine totaling $26,322 is on file. Corporate-owned and Medicare-certified for 110 beds, this is a home where the numbers point to thin staffing and a long citation history rather than isolated problems. If you're considering it, ask directly how many nurses are on the floor on a Saturday night.
Beaver Dam Health Care Center carries 110 deficiencies on its current record, 11 of them serious enough to put residents in immediate harm, 15 tied to abuse. That's the kind of inspection history that lands a home in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, which it's in. The 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating reflects it, and the two fines on file total nearly $96,000. Staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day against a national 3.86, and it thins out further on weekends by about 14 percent. Annual turnover runs 56.1 percent, roughly ten points above the national average, meaning the people caring for residents here are cycling through faster than almost anywhere else. Owned by an individual for profit, licensed for 90 beds.
Complete Care At Grande Prairie runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.44 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping even further below its own weekday pace. That staffing gap matters more given a 60.9% annual turnover rate, meaning the aides and nurses in the building change over faster than they can learn residents' routines, and 21 deficiencies sit on the current record, including three serious enough to cause harm and five tied to abuse. State inspectors last visited in May 2026, though the limited liability ownership and a $65,556 fine suggest oversight has been active. Ask about weekend nurse coverage and how they screen staff before you decide.
Autumn Lake Healthcare at Greenfield runs a for-profit LLC home with 112 certified beds on Milwaukee's south side, and the staffing picture is genuinely mixed. Nurses provide 4.41 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, but weekend coverage drops about 10% below the home's own weekday level, so the help you'd want on a Saturday isn't quite what the weekday numbers suggest. What's harder to get past is the record: 64 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, eight tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $152,619. Annual turnover of 76.2% means most of the staff caring for your family member this year likely won't be there next year.
Careview Health And Rehab Of Minocqua runs 72 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth sitting with. Nurse staffing sits at 3.33 hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 8 percent below its own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection history is heavier: 85 deficiencies on the current record, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 12 tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $42,834. Federal inspectors were last in the building on January 27, 2026. If you're weighing this one, ask directly how they staff weekends and what changed since that inspection.
The numbers at Resolve At West Allis Respiratory And Rehab don't tell one story, they tell two, and they don't agree. Total nurse staffing runs 4.93 hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average, which sounds like plenty of hands on deck. But weekend staffing drops about 14% below its own weekday level, so the coverage families see on a Tuesday isn't what shows up on a Saturday. Turnover sits at 58.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning a large share of that staff is new and still learning the building. Then there's the record: 61 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, eight tied to abuse, and a $130,322 fine, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026.
Complete Care At Kensington runs 3.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday staffing. That thinner weekend coverage matters in a 150-bed building, and it shows up in the numbers: staff turnover sits at 55.8% against a national 45.8%, and CMS gives staffing its lowest mark. The inspection record is heavier than most, 32 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and a $66,632 fine. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. The current record was last reviewed in April 2026.
Rock River runs more nurse hours per resident than the typical U.S. nursing home, and its most recent inspection came in December 2025, so the record isn't stale. The problem is what that record contains: 118 deficiencies, including 10 at the level where residents were actually harmed or put in immediate jeopardy, plus 9 tied to abuse. Two fines total $136,384, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the country's poorest performers.
Staffing tells a similar story from the inside. Turnover sits at 70.2% against a national average near 46%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year, and weekend coverage drops about 11% below the home's own weekday level. More hours on paper, but a workforce that keeps emptying out.
Avina Of Pewaukee runs 120 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, with weekends dropping about 13 percent below its own weekday level. That thinner coverage matters more when you look at the inspection record, 55 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, and eight tied to abuse, plus a $95,791 fine. Staff turnover sits at 43.3 percent, slightly better than the national 45.8 percent, but the most recent inspection came in June 2025 and the health inspection rating remains 1 out of 5. Ask about weekend coverage and the abuse-related citations specifically.
Meadowbrook At Black River Falls runs 45 certified beds in Jackson County under for-profit corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.14 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest number here. Almost everything else points the other way: weekend staffing drops about 7% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 66% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people providing that care are new to the building. Federal inspectors rate health inspections 2 out of 5 stars and quality measures 1 out of 5. The current record carries 39 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $108,338.
