193 of the 323 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Wisconsin (60%) are chain-owned, and all are listed below. They average 3.89 nursing hours per resident per day, 0.32 hours below the 4.21 for every home in Wisconsin. Nurse staff turnover runs 49.3%, 2.4 points higher than the 46.9% across all homes there. Rennes Health And Rehab Center-Appleton in Appleton grades highest at A (96 out of 100).
How chain-owned homes in Wisconsin compare
This group set against every nursing home in Wisconsin, from the current CMS release.
Samaritan runs a genuine split personality. The nursing hours are real, 4.95 per resident per day, roughly 28% above the national average, and weekends thin out about 15% from that weekday level, which is a normal dip. But 75.7% of staff turned over in a year against a national 45.8%, so those hours keep getting delivered by new faces.
Then there's the record. Fifty-seven deficiencies, four serious enough to put residents in harm's way, eight tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $210,298. The health inspection rating sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, and the last inspection was January 2025. A corporation owns it. Good staffing numbers don't erase a paper trail like that.
Edgerton Care Center runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.65 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that shows up in its staffing rating. The rest of the picture is harder to sit with. State inspectors cited 65 deficiencies on the current record, six of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and 16 tied to abuse. That inspection rating sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, and the most recent visit was March 2025. Staff turnover runs 54.3% a year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below weekday levels. Extra hands on paper don't offset a record like that.
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.
Nurse staffing at Edenbrook Of Oshkosh runs about 12% below the national average, at 3.39 hours per resident day, and it thins out further on weekends, roughly 10% less coverage than on weekdays. That matters because turnover sits at 59.8% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning nearly six in ten caregivers left over the past year, so the people on the floor are often new. The current inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, with no violations at the harm level. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company, and the most recent inspection was in March 2025.
Stevens Point Health Services runs 50 beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.66 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national figure of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover is 57.1% against a national average of 45.8%, so the aides and nurses your family sees may keep changing. The inspection record shows 48 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and seven tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was July 2025. Quality measure scores land at 1 out of 5 stars, meaning clinical outcomes like falls and infections trail what CMS expects.
Mineral Point Health Services runs 39 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing tells a mixed story. Nurses provide 3.61 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 37.9%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the real concern: 10 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in April 2025. A 2/5 inspection rating alongside a 4/5 staffing rating suggests the day-to-day coverage looks steadier on paper than the survey history does.
The inspection record is what stands out here: 46 deficiencies at last count, including nine tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level. A single-star health inspection rating backs that up, and the most recent survey was April 8, 2026, so the findings are current rather than old history.
Nurse staffing sits at 3.65 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends drop about 6% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover runs 45.3%, close to the national 45.8%, so retention isn't the outlier, the gaps are coverage and the survey record at this for-profit corporate home.
North Ridge runs 94 certified beds in Manitowoc under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.91 hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86, about a 1% edge. That thin margin matters because weekends drop roughly 7% below the home's own weekday levels, and turnover runs 50.8% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 49 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $12,740 fine and a December 2025 inspection. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, land at 2 out of 5.
Columbus Health And Rehab runs 50 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers tell a mixed story. At 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 47.8%, a couple points above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. CMS rates health inspections and quality measures 2 out of 5, staffing 3 out of 5, with the most recent inspection in May 2026.
Spring Valley Health and Rehab Center is city/county-owned and small, just 40 beds, with nurse staffing at 3.99 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. That's the good news. The trouble shows up in consistency and oversight: weekend staffing drops about 12% below weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 64.4% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents are constantly changing. The inspection record backs that up, 38 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, plus $27,690 in fines. The last inspection was December 2025, so the record is current, and what's on it isn't reassuring.
Oakbrook runs 58 beds in Thorp under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends drop about 9% below what the home itself provides on weekdays, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The bigger concern is the inspection record: ten deficiencies, five of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Staff turnover at 45.9% is essentially the national average, meaning this home replaces workers about as fast as everyone else. The most recent inspection was January 29, 2026.
St. Anne's Salvatorian Campus runs on a nonprofit model with 50 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.02 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. That's the good news. The rest is harder: 61 deficiencies on the current record, seven of them at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $326,060. Staff turnover matches the national rate at 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below weekdays. The last inspection was November 2024. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and 2-out-of-5 on quality measures tell you where the problems concentrate, and it isn't staffing hours on paper.
Suring Health and Rehab runs lean on nursing hours, 3.01 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 14% below its own weekday coverage. That matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and problems surface. The inspection record carries 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse, plus an $84,425 fine. Staff turnover sits at 48.6%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents are changing often. Ownership is corporate and for-profit, and the most recent inspection was in September 2024. Ask about weekend nurse coverage and how the abuse-related findings were resolved.
Edenbrook Omro runs about 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday staffing. That headline number looks decent until you see turnover: 71.7% of staff leave each year, against a national average near 46%. Seventeen deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy. The health inspection side is genuinely strong, and the last survey was recent, in September 2025. But the 2-out-of-5 staffing star and that churn rate suggest the people providing care keep changing, which is hard on residents who need consistency. For-profit, limited liability ownership.
Dove Healthcare - St Croix Falls runs 50 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is mixed in a way that matters. Its 4.24 nurse hours per resident day sits about 10% above the national average of 3.86, but weekend coverage drops roughly 14% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover is 64.8% against a national 45.8%. That churn shows up in the inspection record: 50 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 abuse-related, with two fines totaling $62,134. The most recent inspection was September 2025, and CMS rates health inspections 2 out of 5, quality measures 4 out of 5. Strong quality scores and above-average weekday staffing coexist with real compliance problems and a workforce that keeps turning over.
Fond Du Lac Lutheran Home runs about 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends dip another 11% below its own weekday numbers. Staff turnover sits at 59.3% against a 45.8% national average, which matters because it's hard to keep consistent care when more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows 45 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and six tied to abuse, with one fine of $9,113; the most recent inspection was September 2025. Quality and staffing each landed at 2 out of 5 stars. It's a nonprofit home with 85 beds, and the numbers point to real gaps in consistency and oversight.
Avina Of Kenosha runs 153 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits about 10 percent under the national average at 3.47 hours per resident day. Weekends drop roughly 17 percent below its own weekday coverage, which matters when a resident needs help on a Saturday night. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 53 deficiencies, seven of them at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, plus a $33,989 fine. Staff turnover runs 49 percent, higher than the 45.8 percent national figure. Quality measures score well, and the most recent inspection was July 2025, so the picture isn't stale. But the gap between strong quality scores and a troubled inspection history is worth asking about directly.
Middleton Village runs a 97-bed for-profit operation, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average. That's the one bright spot. Weekend coverage drops about 17% below its own weekday level, so the hours aren't distributed evenly across the week. Meanwhile, annual turnover hits 51.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is where things get serious: 63 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, and 13 tied to abuse. Two fines total $67,772, and the most recent inspection was March 5, 2026. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating tells you what the state found.
Williams Bay Health Services runs about 11% leaner on nurse staffing than the national average, 3.43 hours per resident day against 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 58.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. Its record shows 12 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, which is a serious pattern for a 50-bed home. The last inspection was in March 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. For-profit corporate ownership rounds out the profile.
Burlington Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 123 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers worth your attention are the staffing and inspection record. Nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 62.6% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning caregivers cycle through quickly. The inspection history is the heavier concern: 95 deficiencies on the current record, 15 tied to abuse and 8 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, with two fines totaling $371,858 and a fresh August 2025 inspection.
