Rolling Hills Rehab Center is county-owned, which usually means steady funding rather than a corporate owner squeezing margins, and the staffing numbers back that up: 4.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 4% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 35.9%, well under the national 45.8%. The catch is quality and oversight. Two stars on health inspections and two on quality measures, plus 27 deficiencies on the current record, seven tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was February 2025, so the record is recent. Strong hands on deck, uneven results on the floor.

Brookside Care Center runs on 4.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, which is where its staffing rating comes from. Weekend coverage drops about 10% from weekday levels, so the cushion thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 41.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the health inspection rating is solid at 4 out of 5. The record isn't clean, though: nine deficiencies, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. Two fines total $44,970, with the last inspection in November 2024.

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.

The county runs this 46-bed home in Menomonie, and the inspection record is genuinely strong, five stars, with the most recent survey done in March 2026. Staffing is where it separates itself too: 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, with weekends dipping only about 7% below weekdays. The caveats are real, though. Thirteen deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Quality measures score just 2 out of 5, and turnover runs 47.5% against a national 45.8%, slightly worse than average, meaning the good staffing numbers take constant work to sustain. So: well-inspected, well-staffed on paper, with a small cluster of serious findings and clinical quality scores that don't match the rest of the picture.

Pine Valley Community Village runs a for-profit corporation home with 80 certified beds in Richland Center, and its staffing numbers look strong on paper: 4.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing star and turnover at 45%, basically in line with the national 45.8%. That's the good news. The inspection record is where it falls apart, a 1/5 health inspection rating, 21 deficiencies on the current record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $97,311. Weekend staffing also dips about 14% below its own weekday level. The last inspection was May 22, 2025, so this is a current picture, not an old one.

Onalaska Care Center runs a nonprofit home of 80 beds, and its strongest asset is people. Nurse staffing sits at 4.41 hours per resident day, about 14% above the national average, and turnover at 42.9% is slightly better than the 45.8% norm, meaning the aides and nurses you'd see most days tend to stick around. Weekend coverage dips roughly 10% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays. The inspection record is clean where it matters: eight deficiencies total, none causing harm, none related to abuse. Where it slips is clinical quality measures, which land below average even as staffing and inspections score well.

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.

Bethel Home runs a nonprofit shop in Oshkosh with 100 certified beds, and the staffing is the strongest card in its hand, 4.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, though weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 43.6%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure, and its last inspection was August 2024. The tradeoff shows up elsewhere: 14 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, and the federal quality measures land at 2 out of 5 stars even as inspections hit 4 and staffing hits 5.

Burnett Medical Center runs on unusually heavy staffing, 5.45 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dipping about 19% below its own weekday level. That cushion is real, but 51.4% annual turnover means the faces around a resident change often, and the 1-out-of-5 quality measure rating suggests the clinical outcomes aren't tracking with the hours worked. The record shows 31 deficiencies with none at harm level, including 5 tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was January 2026, so the picture is current. This is a nonprofit home that staffs generously and still lands mid-pack on care quality.

Riverside in La Crosse is a nonprofit home with 123 beds, and its staffing is the standout: 4.80 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, which earns a top federal rating on that measure. Weekends dip about 9% below weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even. Turnover sits at 47.4%, just over the national figure. The tension shows up in the inspection record, 13 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $21,645 fine, though the most recent inspection was January 2026 and the health inspection rating is 4 out of 5. Quality measures rate 1 out of 5, the weakest piece. Strong hands-on staffing, mixed follow-through on care quality and past compliance.

Christian Community Home Of Osceola is a small nonprofit outfit, 40 beds, where the hands-on care hours run meaningfully above what most homes provide: 4.42 per resident day against a national 3.86. That staffing shows up as its strongest federal mark, though weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 51.7%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The health inspection record is the weak spot: 28 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, none rising to harm or jeopardy, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. For a family weighing a place this size, the question is whether consistent daily attention outweighs a citation history that's heavier than you'd like.

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.

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.

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.

Middle River runs a for-profit LLC operation in South Range with 86 certified beds, and the staffing numbers cut both ways. At 4.36 nurse hours per resident day, it's about 13% above the national average of 3.86, genuinely better than most homes. But weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover sits at 61.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Its last two years of health inspection results were middling, and quality measures came in below average.

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.

Amethyst Health Of Algoma runs 50 certified beds in Kewaunee County, and its staffing sits about 7% under the national average at 3.60 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends are thinner still, roughly 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, and annual turnover runs 51.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over each year. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 17 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and $151,354 in fines across two penalties. A January 2025 inspection at least means the record is current, but the quality measure score doesn't offset what inspectors found.

Manawa Com Nur Ctr runs 4.82 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, which sounds like plenty until you notice the state inspection history gives it only 2 stars and the staffing measure itself lands at 1 star, a sign the hours aren't distributed the way residents need them, with weekends running about 12% thinner than weekdays. Thirty deficiencies sit on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, and the $17,716 fine reflects that pattern. Turnover of 51.3% sits above the national rate, so the people providing those hours keep changing. Last inspection: April 2025.

Eden Rehab Suites runs a 50-bed nonprofit home in Oshkosh where the day-to-day staffing is genuinely strong, 5.75 nurse hours per resident, roughly half again the national average, but that number thins out on weekends, dropping about 11% below its own weekday coverage. The harder problem is who's there to deliver it: turnover sits at 66.7%, well past the 45.8% national figure, and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating with 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm level, points to care that isn't reliably delivered even when bodies are on the clock. One fine of $13,886 and a May 2025 inspection round out the picture. Good ratios, unsettled execution.

Aria At Mitchell Manor runs on thin staffing, the federal government gives it just one star out of five there, well below what you'd want to see for a 50-bed home. Inspectors cited 22 deficiencies on the current record, including three tied to abuse and one serious enough to put a resident in harm's way, which is a lot of findings for a building this size. Staff turnover sits at 43.4%, slightly better than the national average but still meaning nearly half the workforce leaves each year. Quality measures and the January 2025 inspection itself look more mid-range, but the staffing shortfall and abuse findings are the numbers I'd press on before deciding.
