Meadowbrook At Appleton runs a 104-bed for-profit operation where the nursing hours look decent on paper, 4.09 per resident day, about 6% above the national average, but that cushion thins out on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 13% below its own weekday pace. The bigger warning sign is turnover: 55.7% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. Then there's the inspection record: 59 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and a $15,642 fine, with the most recent survey in July 2025. Strong quality scores don't cancel out that enforcement history.

Nurse staffing at Oak Park runs 4.35 hours per resident day, well ahead of the national average, and that's the strongest part of the picture. But weekends drop about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, and 53.1% turnover means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, so the extra hours don't buy as much continuity as they might appear to. The inspection record is the real problem: 43 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level, eight tied to abuse, plus a $67,410 fine. One star for health inspections against four for staffing says the care plan is often better staffed than it is followed.

Avina Of Sun Prairie runs 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday staffing. The 45% annual turnover sits right at the national figure, so the aide who knows your mother's routine may or may not still be there next year. Inspectors gave the care quality measures top marks and health inspections 4 out of 5, with 16 deficiencies on record and none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The last inspection was January 8, 2026. Limited liability, for-profit ownership, 50 beds.

Wausau Manor runs a 68-bed for-profit operation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 13% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 32.1% against a national 45.8% means the aides and nurses who show up are more likely to still be there next year. The 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was October 2025, so the paperwork is current. Quality measures score low at 2 stars, which is where I'd push for specifics.

Complete Care At Christian Home runs a for-profit operation in Waupun with 50 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.66 hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekend shifts run about 7% thinner than weekdays, and staff turnover hits 66.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people delivering that care cycle through quickly. The current inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. The most recent inspection was April 15, 2026. Staffing numbers look strong on paper; the inspection history and turnover rate tell a more complicated story.

Four Winds Manor runs a genuinely strong staffing line for its size: 4.84 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and that shows up in the government's staffing rating. The catch is who's providing it. Turnover sits at 70.1 percent against a national 45.8, meaning most of the people in the building this year likely won't be there next year, and weekends already run about 12 percent thinner than weekdays.
The inspection record is where this home gets harder to defend. Twenty-eight deficiencies, including two at the level where a resident was harmed or put in immediate jeopardy, and five tied to abuse. The last full inspection was September 2025, so it's current. A corporation runs it for profit. Good coverage, unstable workforce, serious compliance problems.

St. Ann Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 50 certified beds in Milwaukee under corporate for-profit ownership. Its total nurse staffing sits at 4.27 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, but weekend coverage drops about 9% below its own weekday level, so the help you get may depend on which day you visit. The current record shows 21 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse, and a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating from a March 2026 survey. The staffing star rating of 2 suggests the federal formula weighs turnover and mix, not just raw hours.

Pine Crest is county-owned, and that shows up in the numbers in ways both good and mixed. Nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekends run roughly 14% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs more hands-on help on Saturdays and Sundays. The bigger red flag is turnover: 58.3% of staff leave each year, well above the national 45.8%. On paper, the inspection record is solid, a 4-star rating and 16 deficiencies with none at the harm level, but one is abuse-related, which deserves a direct question.

Tomahawk Health Services runs 50 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.52 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 13% lighter than weekdays. Turnover comes in at 40%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The part that would give me pause is the inspection record: 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated April 1, 2026. Quality measures land mid-range and staffing scores relatively well, but that deficiency count is what stands out.

Shawano Health Services runs 100 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its 3.54 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit about 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly another 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 35.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning caregivers here tend to stay longer than at the typical home. Inspections produced 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one was abuse-related, and the most recent survey came in February 2026. Quality measures rate middle-of-the-road, and staffing earns a similar mark.

Wisconsin Dells Health Services runs 90 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.44 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 7% below its own weekday levels. The tradeoff shows up in turnover: 37.5% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning this home loses staff less often than most, even if the hours per resident are thinner. Its 21 deficiencies include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was April 30, 2026. Quality and staffing each earned 4 of 5 stars; health inspections earned 3.

Middle River runs a for-profit LLC operation in South Range with 86 certified beds, and the staffing numbers cut both ways. At 4.36 nurse hours per resident day, it's about 13% above the national average of 3.86, genuinely better than most homes. But weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover sits at 61.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Its last two years of health inspection results were middling, and quality measures came in below average.

Milwaukee Catholic Home runs on a nonprofit model with 107 certified beds, and its most recent inspection in June 2025 turned up 15 deficiencies, none of which rose to the level of harm or jeopardy, and none tied to abuse. That's a meaningful distinction, because plenty of homes with cleaner-looking counts have worse findings buried in them. Where this one gets shakier is staffing, which earned just one star out of five, even though its 42.5% turnover rate is actually a bit better than the national average of 45.8%. Reading those two together, the issue doesn't look like people leaving so much as not enough of them to begin with.

Complete Care At Nazareth runs on a for-profit corporate model with 99 certified beds, and its staffing numbers are the strongest thing going for it: 5.20 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 35% above the national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekend hours dip about 7% below weekday levels, and the staff keeping those hours churn at 61.6% a year against a national average of 45.8%, meaning a lot of the people providing that above-average care are new to the building. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 29 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus $32,443 in fines. Inspectors were last in on April 2, 2026, and the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5.

Muskego Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 49 beds in Waukesha County under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits about 7% above the national average at 4.15 hours per resident day. That's a real strength, though weekends dip roughly 8% below the home's own weekday levels, and staff turnover hits 75.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for your family member are cycling through fast. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 56 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, and eight tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in January 2025. A four-star quality measure score doesn't offset that. Visit unannounced, ask about turnover, and read the last inspection report yourself.

Wood Aven's 3.90 nurse hours per resident day barely clears the national average of 3.86, roughly one percent, so its four-star staffing rating rests on thin ground. The bigger concern is turnover at 60.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekend staffing that drops about 16% below weekday levels, which matters most when families visit and residents need consistency. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent survey dated April 1, 2026. Quality measures score well, but a for-profit limited liability company with that turnover and those abuse-related findings is worth asking hard questions about before deciding.

North Shore Healthcare At Marshfield runs 120 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 25.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The record isn't clean, though. Eighteen deficiencies are logged, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse. A March 2025 inspection is recent enough to trust. Quality measures score low; inspections and staffing land mid-range.

Lake Mills Health Services is a 50-bed for-profit home in Jefferson County, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.54 hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and weekends run thinner still, roughly 6% below its own weekday levels, so care gets leanest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 37.9% against a national 45.8%, which suggests some stability in who's actually on the floor. But the inspection record pulls the other way: 18 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, and a $120,900 fine. The most recent inspection was March 2025, so the picture is current, not stale.

Dove Healthcare - Superior runs a for-profit operation with 118 certified beds, and its staffing sits slightly above the national average at 3.95 nurse hours per resident day. But weekends dip about 4% below weekday levels, and annual turnover of 44.2% means a lot of unfamiliar faces. The inspection record is the real concern: 58 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and seven tied to abuse. A March 2025 inspection is recent, and CMS gave just 2 out of 5 stars for both health inspections and staffing. Quality measures earned 3 stars. If you're considering this home, ask pointed questions about the abuse-related findings and how they've changed hands-on care since that last visit.

Amethyst Health Of Algoma runs 50 certified beds in Kewaunee County, and its staffing sits about 7% under the national average at 3.60 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends are thinner still, roughly 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, and annual turnover runs 51.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over each year. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 17 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and $151,354 in fines across two penalties. A January 2025 inspection at least means the record is current, but the quality measure score doesn't offset what inspectors found.
