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.

Greendale Park Nursing and Rehab runs 105 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is more complicated than the headline number. Total nurse coverage of 4.14 hours per resident day sits about 7% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 9% below the home's own weekday level, so the coverage families see on a Tuesday isn't what they get on a Saturday. Turnover runs 78% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people at the bedside change constantly. The inspection record shows 78 deficiencies, 10 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 abuse-related, with $184,477 in fines across two events and a survey completed January 27, 2026.
