United Pioneer Home in Luck sits at 50 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing runs about 4.87 hours per resident day, roughly 26% above the national average. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels, and turnover lands at 45%, essentially matching the national rate. Where things get more complicated is the inspection record: 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. That mix, strong staffing, middling inspection and quality-measure ratings, is what keeps this home in the middle of the pack rather than at the top, despite the caregiver hours.

Golden Age Manor runs on county money, and its staffing numbers are right at the national line, 3.82 nurse hours per resident day against a 3.86 average. That's basically a wash on paper, but weekends drop about 13% below the home's own weekday level, which is where thin coverage tends to show up. The bigger issue is the inspection record: 28 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to cause harm, though nothing abuse-related. State inspectors were last in on April 10, 2025, and gave the health inspection side 2 out of 5 stars. Quality measures land at 3, staffing at 4. A county home with a clean abuse record and a recent visit, but 28 findings is a lot to carry.

Willow Ridge Healthcare runs 83 certified beds in Amery under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the strongest thing going for it: 4.26 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, with turnover at 32.4% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below weekday levels, which matters when families visit and needs don't pause. The inspection record is where it gets harder to read: 19 deficiencies on file, two at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, though the most recent inspection was July 2025. Quality measures sit at 2 stars. A recent survey and better-than-average retention help, but those harm-level and abuse findings are the ones to ask about directly.

Christian Community Home Of Osceola is a small nonprofit outfit, 40 beds, where the hands-on care hours run meaningfully above what most homes provide: 4.42 per resident day against a national 3.86. That staffing shows up as its strongest federal mark, though weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 51.7%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The health inspection record is the weak spot: 28 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, none rising to harm or jeopardy, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. For a family weighing a place this size, the question is whether consistent daily attention outweighs a citation history that's heavier than you'd like.

Frederic Nursing and Rehab Community runs 60 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.14 hours per resident day, roughly 19 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 51 percent against a national 45.8, meaning more than half the nursing team turns over in a year. The health inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but four tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was May 19, 2026. Quality and staffing measures each earned three of five stars; inspections earned two.

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.
