Christian Community Home runs 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in the top CMS staffing and quality scores. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, and staff turnover sits at 49.2%, a few points above the national average, so consistency of caregivers is the real question mark. The recent inspection in February 2025 turned up 12 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none were abuse-related. One fine of $5,293 is on record. For 50 beds under nonprofit ownership, the care hours are there; the inspection record and turnover are what a family should ask about directly.

United Pioneer Home in Luck sits at 50 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing runs about 4.87 hours per resident day, roughly 26% above the national average. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels, and turnover lands at 45%, essentially matching the national rate. Where things get more complicated is the inspection record: 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. That mix, strong staffing, middling inspection and quality-measure ratings, is what keeps this home in the middle of the pack rather than at the top, despite the caregiver hours.

St. Croix Health Center runs on 5.93 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national figure of 3.86, and that staffing depth is the clearest signal in its record. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 46.2%, essentially the national rate, so the consistency behind those hours is worth asking about directly. The county-run home carries 15 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related, enough to keep its inspection rating at 3 out of 5. Its last inspection was December 2025, so the picture is recent.

Newcare runs 43 beds in Crivitz under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest hours tend to land when families often visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 28.2% against a national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier crew than most homes manage. The inspection record is more mixed. Seventeen deficiencies are on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. The last inspection was August 2025, so that picture is recent, not stale.

Baldwin Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 50 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits about 10% above the national average at 4.24 hours per resident day. That strength comes with a wrinkle: weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the care your family member gets on a Saturday may look thinner than on a Tuesday. Staff turnover is 52.3%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means familiar faces cycle out faster than average. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed in December 2025.

Skaalen runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.33 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekend staffing dips about 12% below its own weekday level, which is common but still worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. Staff turnover sits at 36.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the home's last inspection was in January 2026, so the record is recent. Eight deficiencies are on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The inspection and staffing ratings both come in at 5 out of 5; quality measures land at 3.

Vernon Manor is county-owned, and the staffing reflects that: 4.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average. Weekends dip about 8% below weekdays, so ask how coverage holds on Saturdays. Turnover sits at 45.5%, essentially the national rate, which means this building replaces staff as often as most. The tension is in the inspection record. Seventeen deficiencies, including six tied to abuse and one at the harm level, with a $12,649 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2026, so the record is current. Strong staffing and decent quality scores coexist here with serious survey findings, worth asking the administrator directly what changed after that harm citation.

Brewster Village is county-owned, and the staffing reflects that: 5.10 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, with turnover at 36.6% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. The tradeoff shows up in inspections, 17 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, against a middling three-star inspection score. The most recent visit was April 2026, so the record is current. Strong hands-on care, but the compliance history is the part worth pressing on.

Water's Edge runs a strong staffing operation, 4.50 nurse hours per resident day, about 17% above the national average, and that shows up in its federal staffing rating. Weekends dip roughly 11% below weekday levels, though, so the coverage families see on a Saturday isn't quite the weekday picture. The 51.9% turnover rate sits above the national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over in a year. Five deficiencies appear on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy; none were abuse-related. Inspectors were last on site in May 2025, and the nonprofit owner has kept quality measures around the middle of the pack.

Park View Health Center is county-owned, and that shows in the staffing: 4.83 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, with a five-star staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 43.9%, slightly better than the national figure, though weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekday levels. Seven deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with an inspection in April 2025. The quality measure rating is the weaker spot at three stars, so ask what specific measures are pulling that down.

Grace Lutheran Communities - River Pines runs about 4.99 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips only about 8% below its weekday level. The record shows 7 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated May 21, 2026. Staff turnover sits at 51.4%, higher than the 45.8% national average, which is worth asking about directly. As a nonprofit with 50 certified beds, it carries four out of five stars on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing alike.

Lakeview Health Center in West Salem is county-owned, and the staffing numbers show it: 6.06 nurse hours per resident per day, about 57% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage slips only 3% below its own weekday level, so care doesn't thin out much on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 39.2%, below the national 45.8%. The tradeoffs are elsewhere. Seven deficiencies on the current record, two of them abuse-related, with no harm-level findings. The quality measure rating is 2 out of 5, which is where the weaker numbers live. Its last inspection was July 16, 2025. For a family weighing direct care hours against regulatory history, the staffing is the strongest case here.

Good Shepherd Services runs a tight ship on direct care: 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, with 4 out of 5 stars for staffing. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Turnover hits 52.9% against a national 45.8%, and weekend coverage dips about 17% below weekday levels, so the hands on deck can shift depending on the day. Inspections returned 14 deficiencies, none at harm level but five tied to abuse, and the last survey was recent enough to reflect current conditions. For a 50-bed nonprofit, the floor care is the strength; the questions are stability and consistency.

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.

The county runs this 45-bed home in Menomonie, and the numbers show a place that is well staffed but not without some quality concerns. Nurse staffing sits at 4.30 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing rating and annual turnover of 29.7%, noticeably lower than the 45.8% national figure. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about. The health inspection rating is 3/5, with six deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related. Its quality measure score of 2/5 pulls the overall picture down, meaning clinical outcomes don't match the strong staffing.

Fair View runs a tight ship on the clinical side. The Mauston nonprofit's last state inspection, in March 2026, left nine deficiencies on record, none of them serious enough to cause harm or put anyone in immediate jeopardy. Staffing sits right at the national average, and weekend coverage dips about 13% below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays. What stands out is retention: 20% turnover against a national average near 46% means aides and nurses tend to stay, which usually shows up in how well residents are known. One abuse-related citation is on the books, so read that inspection report yourself.

Sheboygan Senior Community runs about 4.26 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 10 percent above the national figure, and weekend staffing only dips about 5 percent below its own weekday levels, a fairly steady pattern. Staff turnover sits at 36.8 percent, noticeably under the national 45.8 percent, so the same caregivers are more likely to still be there next year. The concerns show up elsewhere. The current record lists 28 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, and the last inspection was in January 2026. Quality measures score well; the inspection and staffing ratings don't.

Villa Marina runs on solid staffing numbers. At 3.95 nurse hours per resident day, it sits slightly above the national average, and its CMS staffing rating reflects that. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, which is common but worth knowing if you visit on Saturdays. Turnover stands at 36.7%, well below the national average of 45.8%, a meaningful sign that caregivers tend to stay. The tradeoff is a record of 15 deficiencies, including 4 tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was in September 2025, so the picture is current. It's a for-profit corporate home with a mixed inspection history but stable, above-average staffing.

Norseland runs on a city government budget, and the numbers show a home that's basically holding steady. Nurse staffing sits at 3.85 hours per resident day, which is right on the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 34%, which is meaningfully lower than the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The current record carries 18 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none are abuse-related. The last inspection was in June 2025, so the picture is fairly current. Nothing here is alarming, but that one harm-level finding and the weekend staffing dip are the two things I'd ask about directly.

Chippewa Manor runs on a strong staffing base: 4.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average, which earns it a top staffing mark of 5/5. That cushion thins on weekends, when hours drop about 15% below the home's own weekday pace, worth asking about if your family visits mostly on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 45.2%, nearly identical to the national rate of 45.8%, so continuity of caregivers is a typical concern rather than an outlier. The current inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse, and the most recent inspection was March 2026.
