Dove Healthcare – Bloomer
Dove Healthcare – Bloomer
Dove Healthcare – Bloomer is a 50-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation community at 2217 Duncan Road in Bloomer, Wisconsin, serving Chippewa County. The facility is legally operated by Bloomer Rehabilitation And Nursing Center LLC, part of the Dove Healthcare network, with Kristen Bruxvoort overseeing operations and Erica Salsbury serving as administrator. Alongside skilled nursing, the community offers rehabilitation, memory care, assisted living, and respite care, giving families several levels of support under one roof. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, which opens multiple ways to cover both short-term rehab stays and longer-term nursing care.
Clinical support is a central part of daily life here, with 24-hour staffing and total nursing care averaging 5 hours and 18 minutes per resident each day. The team also handles more specialized needs, including ventilator care, tracheostomy care, wound care, and end-of-life care, so residents with complex medical requirements can often stay in one place rather than transferring elsewhere. The facility also runs an on-site Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Program, reflecting an ongoing investment in staff training and development.
The community currently runs at about 80.4 percent occupancy. It sits in a moderately walkable part of Bloomer, with a Walk Score of 65 out of 100, meaning some errands can be handled on foot alongside a mix of nearby amenities. Together, the range of care levels and clinical services make this a option worth considering for families weighing both rehabilitation and longer-term nursing needs in the area.
