Overview of Burnett Medical Center
Burnett Medical Center is a skilled nursing community led and administered by Tamra White in Grantsburg, Wisconsin, offering a wide range of general, specialty, and emergency health services. The community has 50 licensed beds, serving Burnett County. It is governed as a nonprofit, government-operated subsidized community district, highlighting its community-driven mission and focus on service over profit.
According to CMS quality standards, the community has an overall rating of 3 out of 5 stars, which aligns with the Wisconsin state average. 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. Nursing care time is reported at approximately 5 hours and 27 minutes per resident per day, which is 29% higher than the state average and serves as a strong indicator of attentive care. Meanwhile, quality measures scored 1 out of 5, suggesting room for improvement in clinical outcome indicators.
In addition to skilled nursing, the community also provides a vast array of healthcare services such as cardiac care, orthopedics, rehabilitation, and diagnostic imaging. Laboratory services, hospice, telehealth, a swing bed program, and a 24-hour emergency department are also available. A family practice clinic and a walk-in clinic with extended evening and Saturday hours are also provided, allowing seamless continuity of care within the same organization.
Burnett Medical Center is an ideal choice for those who require skilled nursing care with high staffing levels and the security of having integrated hospital-level services. Its nonprofit and community-owned foundation is a significant draw for families who value mission-driven care. For those in rural Wisconsin needing specialized rehabilitation or transitional care after a hospital stay, the community’s comprehensive care is a significant advantage.
Quality ratings
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.

vs avg
Standout metric
LPN / LVN is +94% above state avg
| 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.
| 1h 26m per day | ▲ 48% 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.
| 1h 14m per day | ▲ 94% 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.
| 3h 4m per day | ▲ 19% State avg: 2h 35m per day · National avg: 2h 20m 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.
| 4h 46m per day | ▲ 28% 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.
| 1m per day | ▼ 82% 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.
| 43m per day | ▲ 8% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
