Rennes Health and Rehab Center in Appleton runs about 4.65 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 21 percent above the national average, and its weekend staffing dips only about 11 percent below weekdays. The six deficiencies on its current record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and no abuse citations; the most recent inspection was in August 2025. Staff turnover sits at 34 percent, well below the national 45.8 percent. It's a for-profit corporation, which is worth knowing, but the staffing, turnover, and inspection record here are the stronger signals. Ask about weekend coverage on the specific unit your family member would live on.

Dove Healthcare - West Eau Claire runs on unusually heavy staffing for a nursing home: 6.23 nurse hours per resident day, about 61% above the national average, which is the main reason it holds up well. Weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Turnover sits at 41%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the 12 deficiencies on record include one at the harm level, worth asking about directly. The last inspection was March 2025, so the picture is current.

Dove Healthcare - South Eau Claire runs 5.31 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 38% above the national average of 3.86, and CMS gives it top marks for staffing. Weekend coverage dips about 15% below its own weekday levels, and turnover sits at 46.3%, essentially identical to the national 45.8%. The tradeoff is in the inspection record: three deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. A recent April 2025 inspection and a 4/5 health inspection rating help, but that harm-level finding is the number worth asking about directly before you decide.

Care & Rehab - Ladysmith 2 runs about 4.46 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 16 percent above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 15.4 percent against a national 45.8, that combination is uncommon and it shows up in consistent care rather than churn. Weekend coverage dips only about 8 percent below weekdays, so the drop is modest. The home carries just three deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with its most recent inspection in March 2025. It's a for-profit corporation operating a small 30-bed building in Rusk County, and the numbers suggest the size isn't costing residents attention.

Deerfield Care Center runs on unusually steady staffing for a 50-bed nonprofit home in St. Croix County. Nurses provide about 4.12 hours of care per resident each day, roughly 7% above the national average, and the staff turnover rate of 20.4% is less than half the national figure of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The tradeoff shows up in its inspection record: 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation, with the most recent inspection in February 2026. Weekend staffing dips about 9% below weekday levels, so family visits on Saturdays and Sundays may find a thinner crew than midweek.

Glenhaven runs a genuinely strong staffing operation, 4.65 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and CMS gives that a top rating. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, though, so the schedule isn't perfectly even. The trade-off shows up in the inspection record: 33 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse, with the most recent state visit in March 2026. Staff turnover sits at 53.8%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. Quality measures score well, but a 2/5 inspection rating is the number a family should ask about directly, specifically what those abuse deficiencies involved and what's changed since.

St Paul Elder Services in Kaukauna runs on 4.80 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the typical American nursing home. That cushion matters less on paper than it does on a Tuesday afternoon, though weekend coverage does dip about 7% below the home's own weekday level, so the weekend shift is where you'd want to ask questions. Staff turnover sits at 36.6%, well under the national 45.8%, people tend to stay. The current inspection record shows 8 deficiencies, none at the harm level, but 2 tied to abuse, which is worth asking about directly. A recent 5-star health inspection and nonprofit ownership round out the picture.

Ellsworth Health Services runs about 3.7 nurse hours per resident per day, a touch under the national average, and weekends are roughly 13% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The bigger story is retention: turnover sits at 20.6% against a national average near 46%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Its record shows eight deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a clean four-star inspection history as recently as August 2025. For a for-profit, 50-bed home, that combination of stable staff and low-severity findings is what separates it from the pack.

Dove Healthcare - Rice Lake runs 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% more than the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing dips about 11% below its own weekday level. The home carries a 5/5 CMS health inspection rating and a 5/5 quality measure rating, with three deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and its most recent inspection was August 13, 2025. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 50 certified beds. The staffing star comes in lower, at 3/5, which is worth asking about given how much weight the raw hours carry here.

Park View Home runs on a nonprofit model with 50 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 4.38 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, which is why it earned a five-star staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 15% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 40%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The health inspection rating is 4 out of 5, with eight deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was September 24, 2025, so the record is current.

Newcastle Place sits in Mequon with 47 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing numbers stand out: 5.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 35% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, but turnover at 43.2% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The trouble is the inspection record, 43 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 10 tied to abuse, with a $12,740 fine and a May 2026 inspection date. Strong bedside hours and a clean quality measure score don't cancel out that many serious findings.

Rennes Health and Rehab Center-De Pere runs nurse staffing at 4.73 hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average, and that shows up in its staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Staff turnover sits at 42.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The home carries 12 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with its last inspection dated January 15, 2026. Quality measures land mid-range at 3 out of 5 stars, so the clinical picture isn't quite as strong as the staffing and inspection numbers. Corporate for-profit ownership.

Staffing at St Marys Home for the Aged runs well ahead of most homes, about 5.09 nurse hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends stay fairly close to weekday coverage, dipping roughly ten percent rather than falling off a cliff. Inspections back that up: the most recent visit was December 2025, and its twelve deficiencies include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related. The caution is turnover, 51.5 percent a year against 45.8 nationally, meaning roughly half the nursing staff leaves annually. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership tends to bring steadier long-term direction, but consistent staffing depends on who actually stays.

Rennes Health And Rehab Center-Weston runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.09 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its inspection record backs that up: a five-star health inspection rating, with eight deficiencies on file and none of them causing harm or involving abuse. A five on quality measures rounds it out. Two things worth knowing before you decide. Turnover sits at 52%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff you meet may not be the staff there in a year. And weekend coverage drops roughly 12% below weekday levels, which is when families tend to visit and notice things. Corporate-owned and for-profit, inspected most recently in March 2026.

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.

Plum City Care Center runs 50 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a fairly steady story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.17 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, so families should ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out is the 26.7% annual turnover, well below the national 45.8%, which suggests a more stable crew than most. Nine deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with an inspection as recent as January 2025.

Timber Ridge is county-owned, and that shows in the numbers: 4.96 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with turnover at 33.3% versus 45.8% nationally. Weekend staffing dips about 12% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about. The tradeoff is inspection history, 16 deficiencies on record, six of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. The most recent state visit was February 2025. Strong staffing and quality scores coexist here with a longer-than-ideal deficiency list, so read the inspection reports yourself before deciding.

Cornell Health Services runs about 3.31 nurse hours per resident day, which is roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 11% below its own weekday level. That thinner weekend schedule matters if your family tends to visit on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 33.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there in six months. On inspections, the record is clean where it counts: four deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in May 2025. A for-profit LLC owns the 50-bed building.

Mercy Manor runs on 8.47 nurse hours per resident day, more than double the national average, and that staffing shows up in the ratings, four stars for staffing, five for quality measures. The catch is consistency: weekend coverage drops roughly 17% below what the home provides on weekdays, so care depends on when you visit. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to cause harm and two tied to abuse, plus a single $53,847 fine. Last inspection was July 2025, so the record is recent. A nonprofit with 28 beds can know every resident well. It can also struggle to cover a weekend.

Weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. What stands out is retention: turnover is 19.2%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests a stable crew even with leaner hours. The current inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in January 2026.
