Nursing homes across Washington County, Wisconsin, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Cedar Lake runs on 5.14 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third more than the national average, and it holds a five-star CMS staffing rating because of it. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below the home's own weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 37%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is recent, April 2026, with 12 deficiencies and none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related and deserve a direct question.
Complete Care At Germantown runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, 3.75 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday coverage, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Annual turnover sits at 57.1%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses your relative sees may change often. The record shows 29 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, but five tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was March 2025. The for-profit LLC structure and a 2/5 staffing star round out the picture: clinically decent marks, but watch the floor coverage.
Pavilion At Glacier Valley runs about 10% below the national average on nurse staffing, 3.49 hours per resident day, and weekend coverage drops another 8% below its own weekday levels. That's a real gap, not a rounding error, especially when turnover sits at 49.3% against a national figure of 45.8%. The 47 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, along with 2/5 ratings on both health inspections and quality measures, suggest the problems aren't isolated. The most recent inspection was November 2024, so the picture is fairly current. Limited liability ownership means profits flow to owners while accountability stays diffuse, worth knowing when you're weighing this one against others.
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.
