Every Medicaid-certified nursing home in Waukesha County, Wisconsin
Shorehaven runs on a nonprofit model with 5.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86, that staffing depth is the core of its profile. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 38.8%, better than the 45.8% national rate. Those numbers support the top CMS marks in staffing and quality measures, plus a 4/5 on health inspections.
The record isn't clean, though. Ten deficiencies are on file, two at the harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, with the last inspection dated June 2025. For a family weighing this home, that combination, strong day-to-day staffing, some serious past findings, is what deserves your questions.
The Masonic Center for Health & Rehab runs about 5.03 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 30% above the national average, and its staff retention is unusually strong for this industry, turnover sits at 25.4% against a national figure near 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Inspectors were last in on June 4, 2025, and the home carries three deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Nonprofit ownership under a corporate structure, 50 beds, and consistent staffing are the main things working in its favor.
Muskego Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 49 beds in Waukesha County under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits about 7% above the national average at 4.15 hours per resident day. That's a real strength, though weekends dip roughly 8% below the home's own weekday levels, and staff turnover hits 75.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for your family member are cycling through fast. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 56 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, and eight tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in January 2025. A four-star quality measure score doesn't offset that. Visit unannounced, ask about turnover, and read the last inspection report yourself.
Lindengrove Mukwonago runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.15 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that staffing shows up in a four-star rating there. The catch is consistency: weekends dip about 5% below the home's own weekday coverage, and nearly half the nursing staff turns over each year, slightly worse than the national rate. On the quality measures side, the home scores one star, and its record carries 25 deficiencies, five tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection came in December 2025, so the picture is current.
Menomonee Falls Health Services runs 3.63 nurse hours per resident per day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 38.7%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention. It's the record: 46 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and five fines totaling $214,308. The most recent inspection was August 2025. A for-profit LLC operating 50 beds with that citation history and below-average daily coverage is the pattern to weigh. Ask about the harm-level deficiencies and what changed since.
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.
Tudor Oaks runs more nursing hours per resident than most homes nationally, 4.34 versus 3.86, but that edge thins on weekends, when coverage drops about 9% below its own weekday levels. The bigger concern sits in the inspection record: 37 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and nine tied to abuse. A single fine of $180,810 followed the most recent inspection in June 2025. Staff turnover of 56.4% runs well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. This church-affiliated nonprofit has real strengths in direct staffing, but the harm-level and abuse-related findings are the kind families should ask about directly before deciding.
Lindengrove Menomonee Falls runs a nonprofit home with 73 certified beds, and the raw staffing number looks fine, 4.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average. The trouble shows up in the details around it. Weekend coverage drops about 8% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 61.8% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people providing that care cycle through quickly. The inspection record is the harder problem: 54 deficiencies on the current record, six at the harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse, and $142,393 in CMS fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was March 3, 2025.
Lindengrove New Berlin runs below average on nurse staffing, at 3.65 hours per resident day against a national figure of 3.86, and it thins out further on weekends, roughly 10% below its own weekday level, which matters when families visit and needs don't pause. The inspection record is the bigger concern: a one-star health inspection rating, 32 deficiencies on file including four at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling just over $100,000. Staff turnover sits at 46.6%, essentially in line with the national rate. The most recent inspection was in January 2025.
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.
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.
Complete Care At Care Age has 110 certified beds in Brookfield and runs on a for-profit corporate model. The staffing numbers look decent on paper, 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% above the national average, but weekend coverage dips roughly 7% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 69% against a national average of 45.8%. That churn matters more than the headline staffing figure. On inspections, the home holds a 1-out-of-5 star rating, with 31 deficiencies on record, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. Two fines total $80,375, and the most recent inspection was June 2025.
Franciscan Woods has enough nurses on paper, 4.39 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, and that's where the good news mostly stops. Weekend coverage drops about 16% below its own weekday level, so the hours aren't spread evenly across the week. The bigger problem is continuity: annual turnover sits at 76%, well above the national 45.8%, which means the people providing that care keep leaving. On inspections, the record shows 50 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm level and 7 tied to abuse, with a $120,905 fine and a survey from April 2026. Low inspection and quality scores against strong staffing numbers tell you the issue isn't how many staff there are, it's what's happening when they're there.
Aria of Waukesha runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, about 3.66 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get noticeably leaner, with staffing dropping roughly 24% below its own weekday pace. That matters when you're deciding how safe a Friday night or Sunday afternoon actually looks. Staff turnover sits at 64.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents are cycling through fast. The current record shows 25 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with the last inspection in February 2026. The quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 reinforces what the inspection and turnover numbers already suggest.
Aria Of Brookfield runs 170 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.40 hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 8% leaner than weekdays. Staff turnover is 71%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. The current inspection record shows 109 deficiencies, including 10 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $396,970. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, sit at 1 out of 5. The most recent inspection was August 27, 2025.
