Every Medicare-certified nursing home in Wisconsin, graded on inspections, staffing, turnover
and enforcement history.
12 homes in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
Lindengrove Menomonee Falls runs a nonprofit home with 73 certified beds, and the raw staffing number looks fine, 4.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average. The trouble shows up in the details around it. Weekend coverage drops about 8% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 61.8% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people providing that care cycle through quickly. The inspection record is the harder problem: 54 deficiencies on the current record, six at the harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse, and $142,393 in CMS fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was March 3, 2025.
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.
Lakeland Health Care Center is county-owned, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 3.96 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing star. Turnover sits at 31.1%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a more stable workforce than most. But the inspection record is where the trouble is, 21 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, seven abuse-related, and an $84,168 fine. Weekend staffing drops about 22% below weekday levels, meaning the coverage families see on a Tuesday isn't what shows up on a Sunday. The most recent inspection was January 2026.
New Glarus Home runs on better-than-average nurse coverage, 3.95 hours per resident day, just above the national figure, though weekends dip about 5% below its own weekday pace, and staff turnover sits at 50.8%, worse than the 45.8% national rate. The inspection record is where the trouble shows: 40 deficiencies, including 4 at harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse, plus a $60,466 fine. Its last inspection was March 2026, so that record is current, not stale. That combination, solid staffing scores undercut by a heavy, recent deficiency history at a church-affiliated nonprofit, is what pulls the overall picture down.
Heritage Lakeside runs 5.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and that staffing earns a 4 out of 5 from CMS. The problem sits elsewhere. Inspectors have cited 68 deficiencies, six of them at harm or jeopardy level and twelve tied to abuse, with a single $115,181 fine on record. The health inspection rating is 1 out of 5, and the most recent survey was April 2026. Weekend coverage also drops about 16% below weekday levels, so the strong average hides thinner stretches. Good hours, rough inspection history, that combination is what a family should weigh.
Lindengrove New Berlin runs below average on nurse staffing, at 3.65 hours per resident day against a national figure of 3.86, and it thins out further on weekends, roughly 10% below its own weekday level, which matters when families visit and needs don't pause. The inspection record is the bigger concern: a one-star health inspection rating, 32 deficiencies on file including four at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling just over $100,000. Staff turnover sits at 46.6%, essentially in line with the national rate. The most recent inspection was in January 2025.
Sauk County runs this 82-bed home in Reedsburg, and the staffing numbers are genuinely good on paper: 5.40 nurse hours per resident day, about 40% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 11% below its own weekday level. What undercuts that is everything else. Staff turnover sits at 68.1% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people delivering those hours keep leaving. Inspectors cited 16 deficiencies on the current record, five at harm or jeopardy level and five abuse-related, with three fines totaling $160,977 and a survey as recent as April 2025. County ownership and strong staffing hours haven't translated into safe care here.
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.
Wheaton Franciscan's Terrace at St. Francis carries 80 deficiencies on its current record, and 11 of those rise to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. Seven are abuse-related. That is not a paperwork problem, it is a pattern that inspectors keep finding. The health inspection rating of 1 out of 5 reflects it, and the $219,651 in fines across four separate actions shows regulators have penalized it more than once. Staffing sits slightly under the national average, but the bigger issue is retention: 81.6% turnover means most of the people caring for residents this year will not be there next year, and weekends already run thinner than weekdays.
Geneva Lake Manor runs a nonprofit shop with 60 beds, and the raw nursing hours look decent at 4.32 per resident day, about 12% above the national average. Look closer and the picture changes: weekend staffing drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 70.9% against a national 45.8%, which means the people covering those hours are often new. The inspection record is where it gets serious, a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 73 deficiencies on file, five at harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $130,720. The last inspection was March 2025. Ask about weekend coverage and turnover before you visit.
