Norwood Health Center-Central runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 32-bed county home, 6.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 59% above the national average, which is where its perfect staffing rating comes from. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 40%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The tradeoff shows up in its record: three deficiencies, all flagged at harm or jeopardy level and all abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 15, 2026. Strong quality and inspection ratings sit alongside those three serious citations, so ask what changed since that April visit before you decide.

Edgewater Haven is county-owned, and that shows in the numbers. Nurses provide 4.46 hours of care per resident per day, about 15% more than the national average, and staff turnover sits at 25.5%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. A recent inspection in August 2025 turned up nine deficiencies, but none involved harm or jeopardy, and none were abuse-related, so the record is clean where it matters most. Weekend staffing dips roughly 8% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. For a 50-bed home, consistent staffing and a spotless harm record are the things that tend to hold up over time.

Edenbrook Of Wisconsin Rapids runs a tight operation on paper. Nurse staffing sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, just a hair above the national average, though weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover comes in at 44.1%, slightly better than the national figure, and the home's inspection record shows seven deficiencies with none rising to harm or jeopardy, though one is abuse-related. Inspectors were last on site in February 2025. Three of four CMS star categories land at 4 out of 5, which lines up with a B-grade profile: solid, not spotless.

North Shore Healthcare At Marshfield runs 120 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 25.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The record isn't clean, though. Eighteen deficiencies are logged, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse. A March 2025 inspection is recent enough to trust. Quality measures score low; inspections and staffing land mid-range.

Wisconsin Rapids Health Services runs on a for-profit LLC structure with 114 certified beds, and the numbers tell a divided story. Nurse staffing sits at 4.13 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, and turnover at 37.5% actually beats the national 45.8%, which suggests they can hold onto caregivers better than most. But weekends run about 16% leaner than weekdays, and that consistency matters when someone needs help on a Sunday. What pulls the record down is everything else: 34 deficiencies on the current record, including three at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus $74,861 in fines across three penalties. Both the health inspection and quality measure ratings sit at 1 out of 5, and the most recent inspection was November 2024. Good staffing, serious compliance problems.
