Staffing at St Marys Home for the Aged runs well ahead of most homes, about 5.09 nurse hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends stay fairly close to weekday coverage, dipping roughly ten percent rather than falling off a cliff. Inspections back that up: the most recent visit was December 2025, and its twelve deficiencies include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related. The caution is turnover, 51.5 percent a year against 45.8 nationally, meaning roughly half the nursing staff leaves annually. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership tends to bring steadier long-term direction, but consistent staffing depends on who actually stays.

Water's Edge runs a strong staffing operation, 4.50 nurse hours per resident day, about 17% above the national average, and that shows up in its federal staffing rating. Weekends dip roughly 11% below weekday levels, though, so the coverage families see on a Saturday isn't quite the weekday picture. The 51.9% turnover rate sits above the national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over in a year. Five deficiencies appear on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy; none were abuse-related. Inspectors were last on site in May 2025, and the nonprofit owner has kept quality measures around the middle of the pack.

Park View Health Center is county-owned, and that shows in the staffing: 4.83 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, with a five-star staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 43.9%, slightly better than the national figure, though weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekday levels. Seven deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with an inspection in April 2025. The quality measure rating is the weaker spot at three stars, so ask what specific measures are pulling that down.

Grace Lutheran Communities - River Pines runs about 4.99 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips only about 8% below its weekday level. The record shows 7 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated May 21, 2026. Staff turnover sits at 51.4%, higher than the 45.8% national average, which is worth asking about directly. As a nonprofit with 50 certified beds, it carries four out of five stars on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing alike.

Lakeview Health Center in West Salem is county-owned, and the staffing numbers show it: 6.06 nurse hours per resident per day, about 57% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage slips only 3% below its own weekday level, so care doesn't thin out much on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 39.2%, below the national 45.8%.
The tradeoffs are elsewhere. Seven deficiencies on the current record, two of them abuse-related, with no harm-level findings. The quality measure rating is 2 out of 5, which is where the weaker numbers live. Its last inspection was July 16, 2025. For a family weighing direct care hours against regulatory history, the staffing is the strongest case here.

Good Shepherd Services runs a tight ship on direct care: 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, with 4 out of 5 stars for staffing. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Turnover hits 52.9% against a national 45.8%, and weekend coverage dips about 17% below weekday levels, so the hands on deck can shift depending on the day. Inspections returned 14 deficiencies, none at harm level but five tied to abuse, and the last survey was recent enough to reflect current conditions. For a 50-bed nonprofit, the floor care is the strength; the questions are stability and consistency.

Hebron Oaks runs a nonprofit shop with 70 beds in Madison, and its strongest suit is clearly people: 5.91 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 53% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 46.2%, essentially the national norm, so you're not looking at a staffing crisis.
The trouble is on the record. Ten deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus a $22,925 fine and a mid-2025 inspection that's now some months back. A 3-out-of-5 inspection rating against 5s for staffing and 4s for quality measures is the whole story here: enough hands on deck, but a paper trail worth asking hard questions about before you sign anything.

The county runs this 45-bed home in Menomonie, and the numbers show a place that is well staffed but not without some quality concerns. Nurse staffing sits at 4.30 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing rating and annual turnover of 29.7%, noticeably lower than the 45.8% national figure. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about. The health inspection rating is 3/5, with six deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related. Its quality measure score of 2/5 pulls the overall picture down, meaning clinical outcomes don't match the strong staffing.

Fair View runs a tight ship on the clinical side. The Mauston nonprofit's last state inspection, in March 2026, left nine deficiencies on record, none of them serious enough to cause harm or put anyone in immediate jeopardy. Staffing sits right at the national average, and weekend coverage dips about 13% below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays. What stands out is retention: 20% turnover against a national average near 46% means aides and nurses tend to stay, which usually shows up in how well residents are known. One abuse-related citation is on the books, so read that inspection report yourself.

Sheboygan Senior Community runs about 4.26 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 10 percent above the national figure, and weekend staffing only dips about 5 percent below its own weekday levels, a fairly steady pattern. Staff turnover sits at 36.8 percent, noticeably under the national 45.8 percent, so the same caregivers are more likely to still be there next year. The concerns show up elsewhere. The current record lists 28 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, and the last inspection was in January 2026. Quality measures score well; the inspection and staffing ratings don't.

Villa Marina runs on solid staffing numbers. At 3.95 nurse hours per resident day, it sits slightly above the national average, and its CMS staffing rating reflects that. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, which is common but worth knowing if you visit on Saturdays.
Turnover stands at 36.7%, well below the national average of 45.8%, a meaningful sign that caregivers tend to stay. The tradeoff is a record of 15 deficiencies, including 4 tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was in September 2025, so the picture is current. It's a for-profit corporate home with a mixed inspection history but stable, above-average staffing.

Norseland runs on a city government budget, and the numbers show a home that's basically holding steady. Nurse staffing sits at 3.85 hours per resident day, which is right on the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 34%, which is meaningfully lower than the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The current record carries 18 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none are abuse-related. The last inspection was in June 2025, so the picture is fairly current. Nothing here is alarming, but that one harm-level finding and the weekend staffing dip are the two things I'd ask about directly.

Rennes Health And Rehab Center-Weston runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.09 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its inspection record backs that up: a five-star health inspection rating, with eight deficiencies on file and none of them causing harm or involving abuse. A five on quality measures rounds it out. Two things worth knowing before you decide. Turnover sits at 52%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff you meet may not be the staff there in a year. And weekend coverage drops roughly 12% below weekday levels, which is when families tend to visit and notice things. Corporate-owned and for-profit, inspected most recently in March 2026.

Chippewa Manor runs on a strong staffing base: 4.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average, which earns it a top staffing mark of 5/5. That cushion thins on weekends, when hours drop about 15% below the home's own weekday pace, worth asking about if your family visits mostly on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 45.2%, nearly identical to the national rate of 45.8%, so continuity of caregivers is a typical concern rather than an outlier. The current inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse, and the most recent inspection was March 2026.

Villa Maria runs a leaner nursing floor than most, 3.78 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national figure, and weekends dip about 15% below what the home staffs during the week. What stands out is retention: 31% turnover against a 45.8% national average means the people who work here tend to stay, which matters more than a small gap in hours. Inspections are current, and the record shows 6 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, against a 4/5 health inspection rating. For-profit partnership ownership is worth knowing, but the staffing score and low turnover are the real story here. Weigh that harm-level finding carefully.

Brown Cty Comm Treatment Ctr-Bayshore Village is county-owned, which matters less than what the numbers show. Nurses give 4.69 hours of care per resident per day, about 21% more than the national average, and staff turnover sits at 24.3% against a national 45.8%, that kind of retention usually means people stay because the place works. Weekend coverage drops roughly 17% below weekdays, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Thirteen deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, one abuse-related; the last full inspection was December 2024. The quality measure score is the weak spot here, and it's worth asking what specifically drives it.

Eastcastle Pl Bradford Ter runs 5.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more staffing than the national average, and that shows up in its five-star staffing and quality ratings. The tradeoff is consistency: weekend coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 53.2% sits above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is the weaker side, 16 deficiencies, including one at harm level and two tied to abuse, with $99,452 in fines. The most recent inspection was February 2026, so the record is current. Strong day-to-day care numbers, but staffing stability and a serious citation history are the things to ask about directly.

Plum City Care Center runs 50 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a fairly steady story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.17 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, so families should ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out is the 26.7% annual turnover, well below the national 45.8%, which suggests a more stable crew than most. Nine deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with an inspection as recent as January 2025.

Weekend staffing dips about 12% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about. The tradeoff is inspection history, 16 deficiencies on record, six of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. The most recent state visit was February 2025. Strong staffing and quality scores coexist here with a longer-than-ideal deficiency list, so read the inspection reports yourself before deciding.

Cornell Health Services runs about 3.31 nurse hours per resident day, which is roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 11% below its own weekday level. That thinner weekend schedule matters if your family tends to visit on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 33.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there in six months. On inspections, the record is clean where it counts: four deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in May 2025. A for-profit LLC owns the 50-bed building.
