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.
Avina Of Weyauwega runs 84 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.73 hours per resident day, slightly under the national average, but weekends drop about 20% below what the home staffs on weekdays, and annual turnover hits 62.9% against a national rate of 45.8%. Inspectors have cited 56 deficiencies, five of them at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $115,004; the most recent inspection was April 2025. The one bright spot is the quality measure rating, which reflects resident care metrics rather than the staffing and inspection problems.
Franciscan Woods has enough nurses on paper, 4.39 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, and that's where the good news mostly stops. Weekend coverage drops about 16% below its own weekday level, so the hours aren't spread evenly across the week. The bigger problem is continuity: annual turnover sits at 76%, well above the national 45.8%, which means the people providing that care keep leaving. On inspections, the record shows 50 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm level and 7 tied to abuse, with a $120,905 fine and a survey from April 2026. Low inspection and quality scores against strong staffing numbers tell you the issue isn't how many staff there are, it's what's happening when they're there.
Madison Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 83 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.85 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national average, though weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday coverage. The bigger concern is retention: annual turnover hits 66.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly seven in ten staff left within the year. CMS has cited 57 deficiencies, nine at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $289,198. Federal regulators have placed the home in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the most persistently troubled nursing homes.
Montello Care Center has real staffing depth, 4.71 nurse hours per resident day, about 22% above the national average, but that's roughly where the good news ends. The home carries 67 deficiencies on its current record, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 16 tied to abuse, and CMS has fined it three times for a total of $163,039. Staff turnover sits at 64% against a national average near 46%, and weekend coverage drops about 10% below weekday levels, so the hours on paper may not hold steady when families visit. A one-star health inspection rating and a December 2025 inspection round out the picture.
Avina Of Milwaukee runs 108 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing comes in at 3.97 nurse hours per resident day, modestly ahead of the national average but thinning out on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 17% below its own weekday level. The bigger concern sits in the numbers behind that average: annual turnover of 74% against a national norm near 46%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new to the building. Its inspection record carries 80 deficiencies, including 16 tied to abuse and 5 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus $90,921 in fines and a one-star health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was March 2026.
Maplewood Center has real staffing muscle, 5.12 nurse hours per resident day sits about a third above the national average, but the inspection record is where the story turns. Eighty-one deficiencies on the current record, eleven of them at harm or jeopardy level and ten tied to abuse, with $352,483 in fines across four penalties. That's a lot of serious findings for a 150-bed nonprofit, and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating reflects it.
Turnover runs 52.1% against a national 45.8%, so even the strong staffing numbers come with constant churn, and weekend coverage drops about 9% below weekdays. The most recent inspection was May 2025, so the record is current.
The Jewish Home and Care Center in Milwaukee runs about 5.01 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average, yet weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 52.4%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. What tempers that staffing picture is the record: 33 deficiencies on file, seven at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with one $8,959 fine. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, and its most recent inspection came April 6, 2026. A nonprofit operator and strong weekday hours don't erase a harm-level deficiency pattern.
Ingleside Manor runs 74 deficiencies on its current record, six of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy and six tied to abuse. That record, plus four fines totaling nearly $200,000, is why CMS placed this Mount Horeb nonprofit in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the country's worst-performing homes. The staffing numbers look better than they are: 4.15 nurse hours per resident day sits about 7% above the national average, but weekend coverage drops roughly 13% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover of 80.6% is nearly double the national rate. Inspectors were last on site October 13, 2025.
Amethyst Health Of Wausau carries six deficiencies classified at the harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse, and forty-five total on its current record, that's an unusually heavy inspection load, and it's why CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program. Staffing looks decent on paper at 4.17 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, but weekend coverage drops roughly 9% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 62.2% against a national average of 45.8%. Six fines totaling $100,976 round out the picture. The most recent inspection was September 4, 2025, so the record is current. A for-profit limited liability company owns the 80-bed home.
The nurse staffing here runs about 3.65 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, so it's understaffed on paper before you get to weekends, which dip roughly 10% below the facility's own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 60.3% compared to 45.8% nationally, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. Fifty-five deficiencies sit on the current record, ten of them at the harm or jeopardy level and twelve abuse-related, with six fines totaling $182,024, and CMS has placed Evansville Manor in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent record of serious problems. A 4/5 quality measure rating doesn't offset a 1/5 inspection rating.
Amethyst Health Of Brown Deer has 86 deficiencies on its current record, and seven of them were serious enough to cause actual harm or put residents in immediate jeopardy, four tied to abuse. It's in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, the federal watchlist for homes with a pattern of persistent problems, and it's carrying $276,756 in fines. Nurse staffing sits at 4.51 hours per resident day, well above the national figure, but that headline number hides a 65.5% annual turnover rate and weekends that run thinner than weekdays. Ownership is for-profit corporate, and the last inspection was February 2026. High staffing hours aren't offsetting what inspectors keep finding here.
Edenbrook Sheboygan runs on 3.26 nursing hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 12% below what the home manages on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 55.1% against a 45.8% national average, so nearly half the nursing team is new each year, which matters more when you're relying on that team for daily care. The inspection record is where things get serious: 37 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with $202,946 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was April 2025. Corporate-owned, 121 beds.
The numbers here split in two directions. Nurse staffing runs 6.03 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, which is real coverage, though weekends slip about 8% below the weekday pace and annual turnover sits at 51.4%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care keep changing. What outweighs the staffing is the record: 46 deficiencies as of the January 2025 inspection, 9 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 14 tied to abuse. Six fines totaling $386,235 sit on file. The state runs this 158-bed home, and the inspection and quality ratings both came back at the bottom of the scale.
The numbers here are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays, meaning the shifts where families often visit are the ones with the least coverage. Staff turnover of 64.8% is well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. The inspection record shows 125 deficiencies, including 12 at harm or jeopardy level and 11 abuse-related, with $187,064 in fines. CMS has placed this corporate-owned home in its Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems.
St Elizabeth Nursing Home runs on 2.96 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 57.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means caregivers are cycling through faster than residents can build familiarity with them. The inspection record shows 59 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $31,171 and a survey as recent as April 2026. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, sit at 2 out of 5.
Aria of Waukesha runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, about 3.66 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get noticeably leaner, with staffing dropping roughly 24% below its own weekday pace. That matters when you're deciding how safe a Friday night or Sunday afternoon actually looks. Staff turnover sits at 64.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents are cycling through fast. The current record shows 25 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with the last inspection in February 2026. The quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 reinforces what the inspection and turnover numbers already suggest.
Bayshore Nursing & Rehab runs 112 certified beds in Glendale under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers say more about it than any single rating could. Staffing sits at 3.96 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national figure, but weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday level, and 56.4% of staff left over the past year against a national rate of 45.8%. The inspection record is where the concern concentrates: 140 deficiencies, 14 at harm or jeopardy level, 15 tied to abuse, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program after a September 2025 inspection. Families deserve to weigh that record carefully.
Waters Edge runs 128 certified beds in Kenosha under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers here are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.53 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, weekend coverage drops another 11% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 63.2% against a national 45.8%. Those staffing figures match a one-star CMS staffing rating and a one-star health inspection rating. The deficiency record shows 74 total, including 8 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, along with a $54,055 fine. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the country's most persistently troubled nursing homes. The most recent inspection was September 30, 2025.
Bradley Estates runs 198 beds on Milwaukee's north side, and the numbers behind its record are hard to explain away. State inspectors have cited 155 deficiencies, 14 of them serious enough to put residents in immediate harm, and 22 tied to abuse, that volume doesn't come from paperwork slip-ups. Staff turnover sits at 70%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage drops about 17% below what the building manages on weekdays, which matters because that's when families visit and problems surface. Four fines total $305,374, and the federal government has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the country's most persistently troubled nursing homes.
Greendale Park Nursing and Rehab runs 105 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is more complicated than the headline number. Total nurse coverage of 4.14 hours per resident day sits about 7% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 9% below the home's own weekday level, so the coverage families see on a Tuesday isn't what they get on a Saturday. Turnover runs 78% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people at the bedside change constantly. The inspection record shows 78 deficiencies, 10 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 abuse-related, with $184,477 in fines across two events and a survey completed January 27, 2026.
