The county runs this 46-bed home in Menomonie, and the inspection record is genuinely strong, five stars, with the most recent survey done in March 2026. Staffing is where it separates itself too: 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, with weekends dipping only about 7% below weekdays.
The caveats are real, though. Thirteen deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Quality measures score just 2 out of 5, and turnover runs 47.5% against a national 45.8%, slightly worse than average, meaning the good staffing numbers take constant work to sustain.
So: well-inspected, well-staffed on paper, with a small cluster of serious findings and clinical quality scores that don't match the rest of the picture.

Delavan Health Services runs lean on nursing hours, 3.21 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday coverage. The 12 deficiencies on record include one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, which is the kind of finding families should ask about directly. What offsets that somewhat is stability: turnover sits at 34.2%, well under the 45.8% national figure, and the home's last inspection was recent, in December 2024. It's a for-profit LLC with 50 beds, so ask how the weekend staffing gap gets covered when your family member needs help on a Saturday.

Lancaster Health Services runs 50 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.62 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when oversight is lightest. Turnover is the bright spot: 28% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record is where the concern lives, 18 deficiencies, including four tied to abuse and one at the harm level, with a 2/5 health inspection rating. The most recent survey was August 2025, so that record is current. Ask about the abuse citations directly.

Pine Valley Community Village runs a for-profit corporation home with 80 certified beds in Richland Center, and its staffing numbers look strong on paper: 4.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing star and turnover at 45%, basically in line with the national 45.8%. That's the good news. The inspection record is where it falls apart, a 1/5 health inspection rating, 21 deficiencies on the current record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $97,311. Weekend staffing also dips about 14% below its own weekday level. The last inspection was May 22, 2025, so this is a current picture, not an old one.

Onalaska Care Center runs a nonprofit home of 80 beds, and its strongest asset is people. Nurse staffing sits at 4.41 hours per resident day, about 14% above the national average, and turnover at 42.9% is slightly better than the 45.8% norm, meaning the aides and nurses you'd see most days tend to stick around. Weekend coverage dips roughly 10% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays. The inspection record is clean where it matters: eight deficiencies total, none causing harm, none related to abuse. Where it slips is clinical quality measures, which land below average even as staffing and inspections score well.

Sheboygan Health Services runs 64 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.06 hours per resident day, roughly 21 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 8 percent below its own weekday numbers, so the hours get thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 26.7 percent against a national 45.8 percent, meaning the people who do show up tend to stay. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level; the most recent survey was March 2026. Ask about weekend coverage and those abuse-related citations specifically.

Augusta Health and Rehabilitation runs a lean, well-staffed operation: 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average, with turnover at 34.8% compared to 45.8% nationally. That staffing and retention combination is why it holds a 5/5 staffing star, and it's the strongest thing in its record. The tradeoff shows up in inspections, where it earns 2/5 stars and carries 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. Weekend coverage also runs about 18% lighter than weekdays. If you're weighing this one, ask about those abuse deficiencies and what changed after the February 2025 inspection.

Whispering Pines runs 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 39.5% beats the 45.8% national figure, people tend to stay here longer than at the typical home. Weekends are thinner, though, with staffing dropping roughly 9% below its own weekday level. The inspection record is where the picture darkens: 12 deficiencies on file, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, plus one fine of $12,649. The most recent inspection was in January 2025, and its quality measure rating sits at 4 out of 5.

Bethel Home runs a nonprofit shop in Oshkosh with 100 certified beds, and the staffing is the strongest card in its hand, 4.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, though weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 43.6%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure, and its last inspection was August 2024. The tradeoff shows up elsewhere: 14 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, and the federal quality measures land at 2 out of 5 stars even as inspections hit 4 and staffing hits 5.

St Francis Home runs on thinner nurse coverage than most places, 3.57 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday pace. Turnover sits at 54.1%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the staff you meet may not be there in a year. The inspection record shows 29 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though seven are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The last inspection was April 1, 2026. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders, and quality measures score better than its staffing does.

Burnett Medical Center runs on unusually heavy staffing, 5.45 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dipping about 19% below its own weekday level. That cushion is real, but 51.4% annual turnover means the faces around a resident change often, and the 1-out-of-5 quality measure rating suggests the clinical outcomes aren't tracking with the hours worked. The record shows 31 deficiencies with none at harm level, including 5 tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was January 2026, so the picture is current. This is a nonprofit home that staffs generously and still lands mid-pack on care quality.

Dove Healthcare - Osseo runs a lean ship on direct care: 5.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and weekends stay within about 16% of weekday coverage. Inspections back that up, a four-star health inspection rating, nine deficiencies on record and none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about. The catch is retention: 68.3% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the strong staffing numbers are being sustained by a constantly rotating crew. For-profit corporate ownership, 46 beds, last inspected February 2026.

Riverside in La Crosse is a nonprofit home with 123 beds, and its staffing is the standout: 4.80 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, which earns a top federal rating on that measure. Weekends dip about 9% below weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even. Turnover sits at 47.4%, just over the national figure. The tension shows up in the inspection record, 13 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $21,645 fine, though the most recent inspection was January 2026 and the health inspection rating is 4 out of 5. Quality measures rate 1 out of 5, the weakest piece. Strong hands-on staffing, mixed follow-through on care quality and past compliance.

St Francis Health Services runs 34 beds in Milwaukee, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.27 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 4% below the home's own weekday level. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. On the other side, staff turnover is 28.6%, well below the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The last inspection was recent, February 2026, and the for-profit corporate owner holds middle ratings across health, quality, and staffing.

Complete Care At Glendale West runs a for-profit LLC operation with 94 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.38 hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average. That's the strongest thing going for it, though weekends dip roughly 8% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover of 62.9% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people providing that care keep changing. Inspections are another matter: 38 deficiencies on the current record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a $11,180 fine and a 2/5 health inspection rating. The state last visited in May 2025. Strong quality scores don't erase a citation record like that.

Northern Lights Hcc runs on a nonprofit model with 50 certified beds in Washburn, and the staffing numbers are a mixed bag. Nurse coverage sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends dip about 6% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families often visit. Annual turnover hits 50%, above the national 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are frequently new. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 35 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, plus one fine of $10,364. The most recent inspection was July 2025.

Little Chute Health Services has real staffing strengths that its inspection record undercuts. Nurse coverage runs 4.20 hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and weekend staffing dips only modestly below weekdays. Turnover sits at 45.7%, essentially identical to the national rate. The problem is the inspection history: 18 deficiencies on the current record, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a single fine of $8,827. That's a lot of serious findings for a 50-bed home, and it's why the health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5 despite 4-star marks for staffing and quality measures. The last inspection was May 2026.

Meadowbrook At Chetek runs a for-profit operation with 97 certified beds, and the staffing picture is roughly average on paper, 3.82 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86, but that average hides a real gap: weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Staff turnover sits at 50.7%, above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 33 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Quality measures score well, but that reflects resident outcomes, not how safely the place is run.

Christian Community Home Of Osceola is a small nonprofit outfit, 40 beds, where the hands-on care hours run meaningfully above what most homes provide: 4.42 per resident day against a national 3.86. That staffing shows up as its strongest federal mark, though weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 51.7%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The health inspection record is the weak spot: 28 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, none rising to harm or jeopardy, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. For a family weighing a place this size, the question is whether consistent daily attention outweighs a citation history that's heavier than you'd like.

Golden Years of Lake Geneva runs 54 beds under corporate ownership, and its last inspection in May 2025 left 11 deficiencies on the books, none involving actual harm or jeopardy, but two tied to abuse. That's the kind of record that reads worse the longer you sit with it, and it's worth asking staff directly what those two were about. The inspection history is strong, with a five-star health inspection rating. But staffing sits at one star against a national turnover average the home only barely beats at 44.6%, and quality measures land at one star too. Good surveys can't carry a building where the people providing daily care keep leaving.
