Overview of Sheboygan Senior Community

Sheboygan Senior Community is a 31-bed nonprofit skilled nursing and rehabilitation community in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, offering short-term rehabilitation, skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, respite care. The facility operates as a charitable, faith-based nonprofit, is governed by a volunteer board of directors, and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

CMS rates the facility at 2 stars overall — 33.6% below the Wisconsin average — driven largely by its health inspection sub-rating, which is 27.8% below state peers. Staffing and quality measures tell a different story: total nursing staffing averages 4 hours and 46 minutes per resident per day, 12% above the Wisconsin average of 4 hours and 14 minutes, ranking the facility 45th of 172 Wisconsin SNFs on adjusted staffing.

The inspection record, though limited to two surveys since 2023, is clean. The facility recorded zero deficiencies across both visits, and the July 2025 complaint was unsubstantiated. Wisconsin facilities average about 4.6 deficiencies per year by comparison.

The facility provides 24-hour staffing, and private bathrooms are listed among its amenities. Its occupancy rate is 81%, above the Wisconsin average of 70%, suggesting steady local demand in Sheboygan County.

With a 166-day average length of stay and a care mix spanning post-acute rehabilitation through longer-term skilled nursing and memory care, the facility is best suited for residents who may transition from short-stay rehab into ongoing care within the same setting.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Wisconsin

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Wisconsin?

Assisted living in Wisconsin supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Wisconsin?

Assisted living in Wisconsin is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Wisconsin Medicaid cover assisted living?

Wisconsin Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Wisconsin) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 426 assisted living facilities in Wisconsin. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Wisconsin?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Wisconsin, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Wisconsin?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
