Overview of Lasata Care Center

Lasata Care Center is a 106-bed skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and memory care facility at W76 N677 Wauwatosa Road in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, in Ozaukee County. Owned by the Ozaukee County Board as a governmental entity and administered by Barton Smith, the facility is part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community campus. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Minimum age 62 required.

CMS grades Lasata Care Center 5 stars, with all four rating dimensions above Wisconsin’s average: health inspection by 80.5 percent, staffing by 38.1 percent, quality measures by 52.0 percent, and overall by 66.1 percent. The facility carries an A+ BBB rating and holds one of the highest walk scores in this review at 84, ranked 31st of 581 Wisconsin SNFs. Staffing ranks 30th of 172 Wisconsin SNFs at 5 hours 7 minutes per resident per day, 21 percent above Wisconsin’s average. LPN hours at 1 hour 6 minutes are 74 percent above the state average, CNA hours at 3 hours 30 minutes are 35 percent above average, and weekend total nursing at 4 hours 55 minutes is 32 percent above average. One vital staffing context: Q4 2025 data shows 205 of 332 total staff are contractors (15.3 percent of hours), with 141 of 217 CNAs and 27 of 36 RNs supplied by agency, a mix that’s common in county-governed facilities but worth raising in a family conversation about workforce continuity. Quality measures are outstanding for long-stay residents. ED visits at 0.68 per 1,000 resident days are 69 percent below the Wisconsin average, hospitalizations 43 percent below average, falls with major injury 60 percent better, and depressive symptoms 72 percent better. The UTI rate at 7.7 percent is 141 percent above the Wisconsin average of 3.2 percent, the most significant long-stay concern. For short-stay residents, return to home or community at 70.7 percent is 40 percent better than Wisconsin’s average, the standout metric. Short-stay falls with major injury at 1.7 percent run above the state benchmark. The inspection record shows just 11 total citations across 4 surveys since 2022, ranked 38th of 174 Wisconsin SNFs, with zero critical or serious citations and penalties. All citations corrected.

Programs feature Short-Term Rehab, Long-Term Skilled Nursing, and Therapy Services. Amenities include private rehabilitation suites, cable TV and Wi-Fi, private and public lounges, walking trails, a fitness center, salon services, a library and media room, religious services, and diverse social, recreational, educational, and spiritual programming. Three meals per day, housekeeping, linen service, and utilities are included.

Situated in a highly walkable Cedarburg area, Lasata Care Center suits Ozaukee County and greater Milwaukee-area families seeking a 5-star county-governed CCRC-affiliated SNF with exceptional long-stay clinical outcomes, above-average staffing, and robust amenities.

vs avg

0 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +79% 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.	57m per day	■ Avg 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 8m per day	▲ 79% 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 31m per day	▲ 36% 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.	5h 9m per day	▲ 39% 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.	5m per day	▲ 31% 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.	41m per day	▲ 3% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 28m per day
