Ascension Living Alexian Village has been part of Milwaukee’s senior care landscape for 46 years now, sitting at 9301 North 76th Street on the city’s north side. It’s a car-dependent stretch of town, with a Walk Score of 24, so most errands and outings mean getting in a car rather than walking them.
The building itself is a mid-rise with 108 beds, split across one-, two-, and three-bedroom options. 78 of those beds are filled, which puts occupancy around 72 percent. Average length of stay runs about 71 days, which tells you something useful: this isn’t purely a long-term residence; there’s a real rehabilitation and short-stay population moving through alongside people settling in for longer.
On-site rehab services mean residents recovering from surgery or illness don’t have to leave the building for therapy. Nursing coverage runs throughout the day too, with registered nurses, LPNs, and nurse aides each putting in dedicated time per resident rather than being spread thin across shifts.
Amenity-wise, it’s understated but real: a library, a spa, and a patio. Nothing flashy, just spaces that give residents somewhere quiet to read, unwind, or sit outside. Medicare and private pay are both accepted, which covers a reasonably wide range of financial situations.
When state inspectors have looked at this community, their focus has tended to land on infection control, how well care gets documented, food and dietary service, resident rights, and fall prevention, the same areas regulators tend to scrutinize at long-term care communities generally.
What Alexian Village adds up to is a long-tenured, mid-sized community built around active rehabilitation and steady daily nursing support, more functional than showy, but functional in the ways that actually matter for recovery and daily care.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 116th out of 178 homes in Wisconsin for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
|
53m per day | ▼ 9% State avg: 58m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
|
47m per day | ▲ 23% State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
|
2h 32m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2h 35m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
|
3h 33m per day | ▼ 4% State avg: 3h 43m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
|
2m per day | ▼ 48% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
|
45m per day | ▲ 15% State avg: 39m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
Average number of days residents stay at this facility, based on CMS cost report data. Shorter stays often reflect post-acute or rehab care; longer stays reflect long-term care.

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."

Money the home earns outside of resident care — such as investments, grants, rentals and other non-operating sources (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It is tracked separately from net patient revenue: it is not part of that figure, and it is not included in net patient income.
Staff salaries plus wage-related costs — benefits such as payroll taxes, health insurance and retirement — from the home's own accounting records (CMS cost report, Worksheet A). Contract or agency labor is counted separately, under other operating costs.
