Situated in Marathon County, the community’s 78 beds are currently at 62% occupancy.

With regard to the resident population, the community mainly serves those requiring short-term stays. Approximately 81% of admissions are through Medicare, usually for rehabilitation lasting one to two months, while 61% are private-pay.

Against CMS quality benchmarks, the community holds an overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars, which is lower than the Wisconsin state average of 3.0. The health inspection category received 2 out of 5 stars, while the staffing rating of 1 out of 5 stars shows a significant difference from the state average of 3.6. However, the quality measures score of 3 out of 5 indicates that clinical outcomes, such as resident health improvements and hospital readmission rates, meet state expectations.

Bedrock HCS at Abbotsford is a suitable choice for those who require short-term skilled nursing or post-acute rehabilitation following a hospital visit, especially those requiring complex wound care or Alzheimer’s support. It is also a practical option for families seeking short-term stays who prioritize clinical outcomes over staffing density.

Overview of Ascension Living Lakeshore at Siena

Ascension Living Lakeshore at Siena is a 36-bed skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and memory care community at 5643 Erie Street in Racine, Wisconsin, operated by Ascension Living Lakeshore at Siena Inc, a nonprofit within the Ascension Health system. The facility accepts Medicare and private pay, operates with 24-hour staffing, and has been licensed since December 2020. CMS rates the facility 1 star overall, with health inspection and quality measures both substantially below Wisconsin averages. State DHS surveys since 2022 recorded 6 total deficiencies — 50% below the Wisconsin average of 12. The trajectory has improved: 5 deficiencies and 2 substantiated complaints in May 2024; 1 deficiency in May 2025; and 0 deficiencies in November 2025. A 19-day CMS payment denial issued in September 2024 — a federal enforcement action suspending Medicare and Medicaid payments for new admissions — and a $500 Wisconsin DHS forfeiture from the May 2024 survey are the most significant enforcement actions on record. Quality Measures are the primary clinical concern. Long-stay weight loss is 151% above the Wisconsin average, and falls with major injury for long-stay residents are 109% above the state average. Short-stay falls with major injury are 248% above the Wisconsin benchmark — the single most elevated figure in the facility’s quality measure profile. Total nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 47 minutes per resident per day, roughly 11% below the Wisconsin average, with 44% of nursing hours contractor-supplied in Q4 2025. Rehabilitation services and skilled nursing are the facility’s core offerings, supported by on-site physical therapy and memory care programming. Active resident and family councils are in place. With a 67-day average length of stay and a payer mix weighted toward Medicare and private pay, Ascension Living Lakeshore is structured for short-term post-acute stays in Racine County. Families considering placement should review the facility’s inspection trend, particularly around falls and long-stay outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Wisconsin Medicaid cover memory care?

Wisconsin Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 326 memory care communities in Wisconsin. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community 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 memory care communities 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.
