Oak Ridge Care Center is a 74-bed skilled nursing and long-term care community in Union Grove, Wisconsin, offering skilled nursing, rehabilitation, memory care, and respite services, with 24-hour staffing throughout. Located in Racine County, the facility is owned and operated by Steven Kuranz. Oak Ridge carries a 3-star overall CMS rating. Its standout metric is staffing: nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 50 minutes per resident per day, compared with a Wisconsin average of 4 hours and 14 minutes, placing the facility 45th out of 172 skilled nursing facilities statewide. That margin — roughly 36 minutes of additional daily direct care — is meaningful for residents with complex or fluctuating needs. The facility accepts Medicare and private pay; Medicaid is not accepted, a relevant factor for families planning long-term stays. The facility’s occupancy rate is 73%, in line with the Wisconsin average of 70%, suggesting moderate availability. The facility’s amenities include common gathering areas, visitation rooms, a patio, religious services, and beautician/barber services. Oak Ridge is best suited for residents seeking skilled nursing or post-acute rehabilitation in a family-operated setting and fits families prioritizing above-average staffing ratios in Racine County. The absence of Medicaid acceptance orients the community toward Medicare-covered stays and private-pay long-term residents.
Oak Ridge Care Center is administered by Steven Kuranz.
