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.
Nurse staffing at Rivers Edge runs about 12% under the national average, and weekends are thinner still, roughly 15% below the home's own weekday coverage. That's a real problem when the same record shows 68.2% annual turnover, far above the 45.8% norm, because thin weekend shifts land on aides who may be new to the building. The inspection history is the louder signal: 107 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level, 21 tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $406,985. For-profit corporate ownership, 58 beds, and a December 2025 inspection that's already on the books. Ask about weekend coverage, abuse-prevention training, and what's changed since that visit.
Watertown Health Care Center runs on 3.02 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends drop about 17% below what the home itself staffs Monday through Friday. That thin coverage sits behind a staffing rating of 1 out of 5, with 73.6% of nursing staff turning over annually against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for your family member are, more often than not, new to the building. Inspections paint a similar picture: 69 deficiencies on the current record, 10 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, five tied to abuse, and $278,229 in fines across five penalties. The last inspection was November 2024.
Aria Of Brookfield runs 170 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.40 hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 8% leaner than weekdays. Staff turnover is 71%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. The current inspection record shows 109 deficiencies, including 10 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $396,970. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, sit at 1 out of 5. The most recent inspection was August 27, 2025.
