Saint Johns On The Lake runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with just 27 certified beds, and the staffing numbers stand out: 5.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 38.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though still meaning more than a third of staff leaving annually. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 14 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a June 2025 inspection. Strong staffing and a clean recent survey don't cancel out that history; they sit alongside it.
Lutheran Home in Wauwatosa runs on 4.28 nurse hours per resident per day, about 11% above the national average, and that shows up in its staffing rating. Weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below weekday levels, though, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 37.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still more than a third of the workforce leaving each year. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with no abuse citations, and the most recent state visit was June 10, 2025. This is a nonprofit with solid staffing and quality marks, but the deficiency history keeps it out of the top tier.
Eastcastle Pl Bradford Ter runs 5.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more staffing than the national average, and that shows up in its five-star staffing and quality ratings. The tradeoff is consistency: weekend coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 53.2% sits above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is the weaker side, 16 deficiencies, including one at harm level and two tied to abuse, with $99,452 in fines. The most recent inspection was February 2026, so the record is current. Strong day-to-day care numbers, but staffing stability and a serious citation history are the things to ask about directly.
St. Camillus runs a 50-bed nonprofit home in Wauwatosa where the day-to-day staffing is genuinely strong, 4.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 9% below its own weekday level, which is modest by industry standards. Turnover sits at 41.5%, a bit better than the national 45.8%. The trouble shows up on the inspection side: 17 deficiencies on the current record, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with $65,881 in fines and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating from CMS. That contrast, high staffing and quality marks against a recent, serious inspection history, is what holds the overall grade down.
Clement Manor is a 50-bed nonprofit in Greenfield run by a church group, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, five stars, seven deficiencies on file with nothing at the harm or jeopardy level. Two of those are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Daily nurse staffing comes in around 4.14 hours per resident, roughly 7% above the national average, though weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday levels. Annual turnover sits at 52.5%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The last full inspection was December 2024. Quality and staffing measures both land mid-range at three stars. Solid care oversight, but the weekend dip and turnover rate are the two things to press on.
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.
Luther Manor runs 4.81 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86, and CMS gives it four stars for staffing. That's the good news, and it's real. The rest is harder. Fifty deficiencies sit on the current record, seven of them at harm or jeopardy level and twelve abuse-related, with six fines totaling $170,666. Staff turnover is 55.2% against a national 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops about 10% below its own weekday level. The last inspection, in December 2025, produced a one-star health inspection rating. The nonprofit owner is a corporation, not a family operation. Strong hours on paper aren't reaching residents the way the numbers suggest they should.
Wheaton Franciscan's Terrace at St. Francis carries 80 deficiencies on its current record, and 11 of those rise to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. Seven are abuse-related. That is not a paperwork problem, it is a pattern that inspectors keep finding. The health inspection rating of 1 out of 5 reflects it, and the $219,651 in fines across four separate actions shows regulators have penalized it more than once. Staffing sits slightly under the national average, but the bigger issue is retention: 81.6% turnover means most of the people caring for residents this year will not be there next year, and weekends already run thinner than weekdays.
Chi Franciscan Villa runs 90 beds in South Milwaukee, and the numbers behind its federal record are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.46 hours per resident day, about 10 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 16 percent below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, while half the nursing staff turned over in a year. The inspection history carries more weight than the staffing shortfall: 65 deficiencies on the current record, including 10 at the harm or jeopardy level and 11 tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $208,607. Its last inspection was May 29, 2026.
Maplewood Center has real staffing muscle, 5.12 nurse hours per resident day sits about a third above the national average, but the inspection record is where the story turns. Eighty-one deficiencies on the current record, eleven of them at harm or jeopardy level and ten tied to abuse, with $352,483 in fines across four penalties. That's a lot of serious findings for a 150-bed nonprofit, and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating reflects it.
Turnover runs 52.1% against a national 45.8%, so even the strong staffing numbers come with constant churn, and weekend coverage drops about 9% below weekdays. The most recent inspection was May 2025, so the record is current.
The Jewish Home and Care Center in Milwaukee runs about 5.01 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average, yet weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 52.4%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. What tempers that staffing picture is the record: 33 deficiencies on file, seven at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with one $8,959 fine. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, and its most recent inspection came April 6, 2026. A nonprofit operator and strong weekday hours don't erase a harm-level deficiency pattern.
