CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.
Care Types in This Table AL (Assisted Living): Housing with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, without 24-hour skilled nursing. NH (Nursing Home): 24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs. SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility): Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness. MC (Memory Care): Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. RC (Respite Care): Short-term temporary care that gives family caregivers a break. HOS (Hospice Care): Comfort-focused care for those with a terminal illness, prioritizing quality of life over treatment. PC (Palliative Care): Comfort-focused care for serious illness at any stage, including alongside curative treatment.
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The Wisconsin average is: 59.2% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.

Overview of Waters Edge Health and Rehabilitation Center

Waters Edge Health and Rehabilitation Center is a nursing home in Kenosha, WI offering skilled nursing, memory care, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Hospice care focuses on comfort near the end of life, palliative care addresses symptoms and comfort during serious illness, and respite care provides a short-term stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The community has 128 beds. Outpatient therapy gives residents access to rehabilitation services without requiring an inpatient rehabilitation stay, and the center is located in the Grant neighborhood. Waters Edge Health and Rehabilitation Center may be a good fit for someone who needs supervised memory care, short-term respite, or nursing support that includes comfort-focused services.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted. Medicare applies to short-term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid may help families whose savings do not cover a long stay, and private pay means paying directly for care. Total nurse staffing is 3h 5m per resident per day, representing the total nursing time allocated per resident across the day. Kari Roberts serves as administrator, and Bay At Waters Edge Health And Rehabilitation operates the community.

A Walk Score of 37 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride. This may matter to a resident who no longer drives and would otherwise need transportation for errands.

Overview of Meadowbrook at Black River Falls

Owned by Gail Jacobson, Meadowbrook at Black River Falls is a skilled nursing home at 1311 Tyler Street in Black River Falls, Wisconsin. The 50-bed community was recently opened to serve the area. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several ways to cover short-term rehabilitation and longer-term stays. The facility’s current occupancy rate is 87%. Residents stay an average of 99 days, which is a mix of post-acute rehabilitation residents and those receiving ongoing nursing care.

Staffing throughout the facility is structured around hands-on clinical support. Total nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 41 minutes per resident each day. Registered nurses provide 1 hour and 13 minutes of care, while nursing aides contribute 2 hours and 25 minutes. Licensed practical nurses add another 37 minutes daily. This layered staffing supports residents recovering from surgery, orthopedic procedures, and acute illness who need skilled monitoring and daily assistance.

The clinical focus is broad. Rehabilitation services are a major part of the care model. Respiratory care and cardiac rehabilitation are offered with bariatric care. Residents with specialized dietary needs can work with the on-site dietician. Nursing coverage is available 24 hours a day, and admissions are accepted around the clock. Respite care is available for families needing temporary support while managing other responsibilities.

Daily life includes personalized meals and snacks tailored to resident preferences and medical needs. There are planned social activities to keep them engaged throughout the week. The neighborhood has a Walk Score of 52, which is moderately walkable. Some nearby errands are within walking distance, but most outings require a short drive. Families can expect a quieter residential feel rather than a busier urban environment.

Overview of Spring Valley Health and Rehabilitation Center

The area scores 41 for walking, which means most errands are done by car. A resident who no longer drives will need somebody else’s calendar for a trip to town.

Six care types run inside 40 beds at Spring Valley Health and Rehabilitation Center: nursing home care, skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, hospice, and respite. Forty beds is a short list of residents, and a needs change usually means a change in care rather than a change in address.

Assisted living covers bathing, dressing, and medication. In a building this size, the staff handling those tasks are the ones who notice when something is off.

Memory care exists partly for the wife who has stopped going anywhere. Dementia can take over a spouse’s entire day, and supervised care hands that job to people who work shifts.

Respite covers the weeks when one adult child takes over, and another is away. The handoff has a date attached at both ends.

Overnight coverage does not thin out, and forty residents is a manageable number to watch through a night. Nursing time reaches 4 hours and 26 minutes per resident each day.

Rehabilitation and therapy services are structured into a resident’s care. Hospice care is available at the end of life.

Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted. The question with Medicare is how long rather than whether, since it pays for skilled care after a hospital admission and Medicaid answers the years after that. Ryan Zurbuchen serves as administrator, and the Village of Spring Valley operates the community.

Overview of Dove Healthcare – Fennimore

Dove Healthcare in Fennimore is a skilled nursing home located on 11th Street, a moderately walkable section of town. The home has 50 beds and accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay, offering families several options for short-term rehabilitation stays and longer-term nursing care. Residents typically stay for an average of 185 days, mostly for post-acute rehabilitation and extended care.

Clinically, the facility provides comprehensive skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. In addition to general nursing services, residents receive short-term rehab, ventilator care, tracheostomy care, and wound care management. A doctor is on staff, and respite care is available for families seeking temporary relief.

Overview of Cameo Care Center

Cameo Care Center is a three-story building on South 27th Street in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted. Walk Score is 51, which puts it in moderately walkable territory for a Milwaukee neighborhood.

Occupancy sits at 66%, and the average stay runs 102 days. That combination places this squarely in medium-term post-acute care: not a quick rehab stop, not a permanent placement.

Nurse aides carry 2 hours 43 minutes of direct care per resident per day, which is on the higher end for this facility type. Total nursing care comes to 3 hours 47 minutes daily. RNs and LPNs or LVNs each contribute 46 minutes. The aide-heavy distribution makes sense for a longer-stay model where daily living support drives more of the care load than acute medical intervention.

At 102 days average and 66% occupancy, Cameo Care Center is a medium-term skilled nursing environment with solid direct-care staffing, located in a part of Milwaukee where some daily needs are walkable. It’s built for people who need more than a few weeks of post-acute support and a payer structure that doesn’t require a single coverage pathway.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Wisconsin

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 nursing home care?

Yes — Wisconsin Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 197 nursing homes in Wisconsin. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home 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 nursing homes 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.
