Newcastle Place is a 47-bed skilled nursing facility in Mequon, Wisconsin, offering a continuum of care that includes rehabilitation, memory care, and respite services. The community is operated by Newcastle Place, LLC, a nonprofit. It serves residents across Ozaukee County and accepts Medicare and private pay. The facility holds a 2-star overall CMS rating. Staffing is a clear strength: total nurse staffing averages 5 hours and 2 minutes per resident per day, roughly 19% above the Wisconsin average of 4 hours and 14 minutes, and the facility ranks 34th out of 172 Wisconsin SNFs on that metric. Physical therapist hours stand out further, running 175% above the state average — a meaningful signal for short-stay rehabilitation candidates. Weekend nurse staffing is adequate overall, though weekend RN staffing is below Wisconsin averages. The facility’s occupancy rate is 85%, notably above the Wisconsin average of 70%, reflecting sustained local demand for its services. At an average length of stay of 27 days, Newcastle Place’s throughput profile is best suited for residents seeking post-acute and short-stay care. The rehabilitation capacity, above-average staffing, and Medicare acceptance fit residents seeking skilled nursing following hospitalization or a medical event in the Mequon and greater Ozaukee County area.
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.

This home is ranked 34th out of 172 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.
| 1h 3m 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.
| 1h 18m per day | ▲ 106% 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 54m per day | ▲ 12% 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.
| 10m per day | ▲ 138% 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.
| 38m per day | ▼ 6% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
