Its health inspection score of 3 out of 5 is higher than the state average of 2.8, and its staffing rating is an exceptional 5 out of 5 stars. This staffing level is significantly above the Wisconsin average of 3.6 and indicates a very high number of nursing personnel available to meet resident needs.

Staff typeHours / dayvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans.

LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs.

Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.
