Whispering Pines runs 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 39.5% beats the 45.8% national figure, people tend to stay here longer than at the typical home. Weekends are thinner, though, with staffing dropping roughly 9% below its own weekday level. The inspection record is where the picture darkens: 12 deficiencies on file, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, plus one fine of $12,649. The most recent inspection was in January 2025, and its quality measure rating sits at 4 out of 5.

St Francis Home runs on thinner nurse coverage than most places, 3.57 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday pace. Turnover sits at 54.1%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the staff you meet may not be there in a year. The inspection record shows 29 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though seven are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The last inspection was April 1, 2026. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders, and quality measures score better than its staffing does.

Dove Healthcare - Osseo runs a lean ship on direct care: 5.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and weekends stay within about 16% of weekday coverage. Inspections back that up, a four-star health inspection rating, nine deficiencies on record and none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about. The catch is retention: 68.3% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the strong staffing numbers are being sustained by a constantly rotating crew. For-profit corporate ownership, 46 beds, last inspected February 2026.

St Francis Health Services runs 34 beds in Milwaukee, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.27 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 4% below the home's own weekday level. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. On the other side, staff turnover is 28.6%, well below the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The last inspection was recent, February 2026, and the for-profit corporate owner holds middle ratings across health, quality, and staffing.

Complete Care At Glendale West runs a for-profit LLC operation with 94 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.38 hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average. That's the strongest thing going for it, though weekends dip roughly 8% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover of 62.9% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people providing that care keep changing. Inspections are another matter: 38 deficiencies on the current record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a $11,180 fine and a 2/5 health inspection rating. The state last visited in May 2025. Strong quality scores don't erase a citation record like that.

Northern Lights Hcc runs on a nonprofit model with 50 certified beds in Washburn, and the staffing numbers are a mixed bag. Nurse coverage sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends dip about 6% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families often visit. Annual turnover hits 50%, above the national 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are frequently new. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 35 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, plus one fine of $10,364. The most recent inspection was July 2025.

Little Chute Health Services has real staffing strengths that its inspection record undercuts. Nurse coverage runs 4.20 hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and weekend staffing dips only modestly below weekdays. Turnover sits at 45.7%, essentially identical to the national rate. The problem is the inspection history: 18 deficiencies on the current record, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a single fine of $8,827. That's a lot of serious findings for a 50-bed home, and it's why the health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5 despite 4-star marks for staffing and quality measures. The last inspection was May 2026.

Meadowbrook At Chetek runs a for-profit operation with 97 certified beds, and the staffing picture is roughly average on paper, 3.82 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86, but that average hides a real gap: weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Staff turnover sits at 50.7%, above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 33 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Quality measures score well, but that reflects resident outcomes, not how safely the place is run.

Meadowbrook At Appleton runs a 104-bed for-profit operation where the nursing hours look decent on paper, 4.09 per resident day, about 6% above the national average, but that cushion thins out on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 13% below its own weekday pace. The bigger warning sign is turnover: 55.7% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. Then there's the inspection record: 59 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and a $15,642 fine, with the most recent survey in July 2025. Strong quality scores don't cancel out that enforcement history.

Avina Of Sun Prairie runs 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday staffing. The 45% annual turnover sits right at the national figure, so the aide who knows your mother's routine may or may not still be there next year. Inspectors gave the care quality measures top marks and health inspections 4 out of 5, with 16 deficiencies on record and none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The last inspection was January 8, 2026. Limited liability, for-profit ownership, 50 beds.

Wausau Manor runs a 68-bed for-profit operation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 13% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 32.1% against a national 45.8% means the aides and nurses who show up are more likely to still be there next year. The 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was October 2025, so the paperwork is current. Quality measures score low at 2 stars, which is where I'd push for specifics.

Complete Care At Christian Home runs a for-profit operation in Waupun with 50 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.66 hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekend shifts run about 7% thinner than weekdays, and staff turnover hits 66.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people delivering that care cycle through quickly. The current inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. The most recent inspection was April 15, 2026. Staffing numbers look strong on paper; the inspection history and turnover rate tell a more complicated story.

St. Ann Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 50 certified beds in Milwaukee under corporate for-profit ownership. Its total nurse staffing sits at 4.27 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, but weekend coverage drops about 9% below its own weekday level, so the help you get may depend on which day you visit. The current record shows 21 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse, and a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating from a March 2026 survey. The staffing star rating of 2 suggests the federal formula weighs turnover and mix, not just raw hours.

Pine Crest is county-owned, and that shows up in the numbers in ways both good and mixed. Nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekends run roughly 14% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs more hands-on help on Saturdays and Sundays. The bigger red flag is turnover: 58.3% of staff leave each year, well above the national 45.8%. On paper, the inspection record is solid, a 4-star rating and 16 deficiencies with none at the harm level, but one is abuse-related, which deserves a direct question.

Tomahawk Health Services runs 50 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.52 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 13% lighter than weekdays. Turnover comes in at 40%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The part that would give me pause is the inspection record: 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated April 1, 2026. Quality measures land mid-range and staffing scores relatively well, but that deficiency count is what stands out.

Shawano Health Services runs 100 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its 3.54 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit about 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly another 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 35.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning caregivers here tend to stay longer than at the typical home. Inspections produced 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one was abuse-related, and the most recent survey came in February 2026. Quality measures rate middle-of-the-road, and staffing earns a similar mark.

Wisconsin Dells Health Services runs 90 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.44 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 7% below its own weekday levels. The tradeoff shows up in turnover: 37.5% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning this home loses staff less often than most, even if the hours per resident are thinner. Its 21 deficiencies include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was April 30, 2026. Quality and staffing each earned 4 of 5 stars; health inspections earned 3.

Complete Care At Nazareth runs on a for-profit corporate model with 99 certified beds, and its staffing numbers are the strongest thing going for it: 5.20 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 35% above the national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekend hours dip about 7% below weekday levels, and the staff keeping those hours churn at 61.6% a year against a national average of 45.8%, meaning a lot of the people providing that above-average care are new to the building. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 29 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus $32,443 in fines. Inspectors were last in on April 2, 2026, and the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5.

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.

Wood Aven's 3.90 nurse hours per resident day barely clears the national average of 3.86, roughly one percent, so its four-star staffing rating rests on thin ground. The bigger concern is turnover at 60.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekend staffing that drops about 16% below weekday levels, which matters most when families visit and residents need consistency. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent survey dated April 1, 2026. Quality measures score well, but a for-profit limited liability company with that turnover and those abuse-related findings is worth asking hard questions about before deciding.
