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.

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. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
37m
−3% State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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.

Cameo Care Center Reviews

G. David Yaros
This place, d.b.a. Autumn Lake Healthcare of Greenfield, is a disaster and should be closed. My spouse was there from 2/13/25–2/15/25. During the course of her stay, she was not given ordered medications, not attended to when called and needed, and verbally abused by a staff person who called both her and me 'assholes'! A complaint about the facility was lodged with the State of WI Dept. of Health. The investigation resulted in a 58-page report and the issuance of 10 federal citations. The most serious citations are F609, F610, F656, F686, F689, F692, F760, F773, and F880, cited at a severity/scope level of D (Potential for Harm/Isolated). The full report may be found here: https://www.forwardhealth.wi.gov/kw/dqa/L6F711SODF.PDF No one should be allowed to be subjected to the maltreatment rendered at this facility.
