Overview of Oak Ridge Care Center

Oak Ridge Care Center is a 74-bed skilled nursing and long-term care community in Union Grove, Wisconsin, offering skilled nursing, rehabilitation, memory care, and respite services, with 24-hour staffing throughout. Located in Racine County, the facility is owned and operated by Steven Kuranz. Oak Ridge carries a 3-star overall CMS rating. Its standout metric is staffing: nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 50 minutes per resident per day, compared with a Wisconsin average of 4 hours and 14 minutes, placing the facility 45th out of 172 skilled nursing facilities statewide.

Oak Ridge is best suited for residents seeking skilled nursing or post-acute rehabilitation in a family-operated setting and fits families prioritizing above-average staffing ratios in Racine County. The absence of Medicaid acceptance orients the community toward Medicare-covered stays and private-pay long-term residents.
