Trempealeau County runs this 34-bed home in Whitehall, and the numbers look steady. Nurse staffing sits at 4.04 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekends run roughly 5% lighter than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits then. The standout figure is turnover at 12.9%, far below the national 45.8%, which usually means people stay and know the residents. The health inspection record is strong: nine deficiencies total, none causing harm, though one is abuse-related and worth reading in full. Its last inspection was March 2026, so the picture is current.

Orchard Manor runs on a county-owned model that shows up clearly in its numbers. Nurse staffing sits at 4.49 hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, and the 26.8% annual turnover is well under the national 45.8%, a stable crew matters when you're talking about daily care. The trade-off is in the inspection record: nine deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and two tied to abuse, with one fine of $22,425. Weekend staffing dips about 11% below weekday levels, so care may thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. The most recent inspection was December 2025, so the picture is current.

Ellsworth Health Services runs about 3.7 nurse hours per resident per day, a touch under the national average, and weekends are roughly 13% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The bigger story is retention: turnover sits at 20.6% against a national average near 46%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Its record shows eight deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a clean four-star inspection history as recently as August 2025. For a for-profit, 50-bed home, that combination of stable staff and low-severity findings is what separates it from the pack.

The county runs this 46-bed home in Menomonie, and the nursing hours are genuinely better than most, 4.09 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends dip only slightly below weekdays, so coverage stays fairly even.
What pulls it down is staff retention: 50.8% turnover, higher than the 45.8% national figure, meaning roughly half the nursing staff leaves each year. On the current record there are 13 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was January 2026, so the picture is current. Strong daily staffing and a five-star quality measure score sit alongside real problems in how residents are protected and how well workers stay.

Sky View Nursing Center is a small for-profit home in Hurley, 33 beds, individually owned. Its staffing sits about 3% under the national average at 3.74 nurse hours per resident day, and weekends run roughly 9% thinner than weekdays, so coverage dips when it's hardest to fill. What stands out is retention: turnover runs at 23.5%, about half the national rate, which suggests people stay. State inspectors visited in April 2026 and found seven deficiencies, none causing harm and none abuse-related. The quality measure score is weak, though, so ask what those measures reflect before assuming daily care matches the stable workforce.

Dove Healthcare - Rice Lake runs 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% more than the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing dips about 11% below its own weekday level. The home carries a 5/5 CMS health inspection rating and a 5/5 quality measure rating, with three deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and its most recent inspection was August 13, 2025. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 50 certified beds. The staffing star comes in lower, at 3/5, which is worth asking about given how much weight the raw hours carry here.

Rock Haven is county-owned, and that shows up in the staffing numbers: 5.79 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Turnover sits at 23.4%, roughly half the national rate, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits then.
The record isn't clean. Twenty-three deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus a $42,560 fine. The last inspection was in January 2026, so that picture is current rather than stale. Strong staffing and steady retention are real strengths; the inspection history is the counterweight, and it's the part I'd want to read closely before deciding.

Park View Home runs on a nonprofit model with 50 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 4.38 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, which is why it earned a five-star staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 15% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 40%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The health inspection rating is 4 out of 5, with eight deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was September 24, 2025, so the record is current.

Maplewood Of Sauk Prairie runs 4.35 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, which is the main reason its staffing and quality measure ratings sit at 4 and 5 stars. The tradeoff is staffing consistency: weekends drop about 13% below weekday levels, so coverage depends on when you visit. Its 16 deficiencies include four tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was in February 2026. Staff turnover at 46.4% tracks just above the national average of 45.8%, so aides cycling through is a real factor here. For-profit corporate ownership rounds out the picture.

Grancare Nursing Center runs on a for-profit corporate model with 64 certified beds, and the numbers that stand out are the staffing ones. At 4.58 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 19% above the national average of 3.86, a real cushion, though weekend coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday level, so care isn't perfectly even across the week. Staff turnover lands at 43.2%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency. The inspection record shows 9 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Its most recent inspection was January 2026, so the picture is current.

Christian Community Home runs 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in the top CMS staffing and quality scores. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, and staff turnover sits at 49.2%, a few points above the national average, so consistency of caregivers is the real question mark. The recent inspection in February 2025 turned up 12 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none were abuse-related. One fine of $5,293 is on record. For 50 beds under nonprofit ownership, the care hours are there; the inspection record and turnover are what a family should ask about directly.

Newcastle Place sits in Mequon with 47 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing numbers stand out: 5.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 35% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, but turnover at 43.2% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The trouble is the inspection record, 43 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 10 tied to abuse, with a $12,740 fine and a May 2026 inspection date. Strong bedside hours and a clean quality measure score don't cancel out that many serious findings.

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.

St. Croix Health Center runs on 5.93 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national figure of 3.86, and that staffing depth is the clearest signal in its record. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 46.2%, essentially the national rate, so the consistency behind those hours is worth asking about directly.
The county-run home carries 15 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related, enough to keep its inspection rating at 3 out of 5. Its last inspection was December 2025, so the picture is recent.

Newcare runs 43 beds in Crivitz under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest hours tend to land when families often visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 28.2% against a national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier crew than most homes manage.
The inspection record is more mixed. Seventeen deficiencies are on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. The last inspection was August 2025, so that picture is recent, not stale.

Baldwin Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 50 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits about 10% above the national average at 4.24 hours per resident day. That strength comes with a wrinkle: weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the care your family member gets on a Saturday may look thinner than on a Tuesday. Staff turnover is 52.3%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means familiar faces cycle out faster than average. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed in December 2025.

Skaalen runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.33 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekend staffing dips about 12% below its own weekday level, which is common but still worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. Staff turnover sits at 36.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the home's last inspection was in January 2026, so the record is recent. Eight deficiencies are on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The inspection and staffing ratings both come in at 5 out of 5; quality measures land at 3.

Vernon Manor is county-owned, and the staffing reflects that: 4.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average. Weekends dip about 8% below weekdays, so ask how coverage holds on Saturdays. Turnover sits at 45.5%, essentially the national rate, which means this building replaces staff as often as most.
The tension is in the inspection record. Seventeen deficiencies, including six tied to abuse and one at the harm level, with a $12,649 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2026, so the record is current. Strong staffing and decent quality scores coexist here with serious survey findings, worth asking the administrator directly what changed after that harm citation.

Rennes Health and Rehab Center-De Pere runs nurse staffing at 4.73 hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average, and that shows up in its staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Staff turnover sits at 42.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The home carries 12 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with its last inspection dated January 15, 2026. Quality measures land mid-range at 3 out of 5 stars, so the clinical picture isn't quite as strong as the staffing and inspection numbers. Corporate for-profit ownership.

Brewster Village is county-owned, and the staffing reflects that: 5.10 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, with turnover at 36.6% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. The tradeoff shows up in inspections, 17 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, against a middling three-star inspection score. The most recent visit was April 2026, so the record is current. Strong hands-on care, but the compliance history is the part worth pressing on.
